An optometrist is the primary health care provider for your routine eye care, and the person you may see most often when you visit the eye doctor. Your optometrist will update/fill your contact or glasses prescription, and treat common eye conditions.
Our optometrists can provide you with:
Your optometrist can also prescribe controlled medications for eye conditions.
As medical doctors, ophthalmologists specialize in surgical eye care procedures. Ophthalmologists do perform routine eye exams and prescription refills for glasses and contacts, but they also perform eye surgery for a wide range of eye conditions and diseases.
Your ophthalmologists can provide you with:
Ophthalmologists undergo intensive training to be experts at eye surgery, and many focus on performing surgeries more than routine eye care. That is why we are proud to offer both optometrists and ophthalmologists, ensuring you receive the most comprehensive care around.
