A specialty contact lens should not feel like an off-the-shelf solution.

Scleral lenses are carefully selected and fitted using detailed measurements of the eye’s surface. Because they vault over the cornea and hold a reservoir of fluid beneath the lens, they may improve both vision and comfort for patients with complex corneal or ocular-surface conditions.

The fitting process may involve adjustments and follow-up visits—but that precision is what makes these lenses so unique. Discover what a truly customized contact lens experience can look like.

Glasses are more than vision correction — they’re part of your personal style. This fall, refresh your look with frames that feel comfortable, flattering, and uniquely you.

Myopia makes distant objects appear blurry, but it is more than an inconvenience corrected with glasses.
As myopia progresses, the physical structure of the eye can change. Higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of certain eye-health complications later in life.
Regular monitoring allows us to track changes and discuss management options when appropriate. For children, starting the conversation early may make a meaningful difference.
Has your child’s prescription changed again? It may be time for a myopia assessment.

A child’s vision can affect reading, attention, sports, and classroom performance. Before the school year gets too busy, book their eye exam and make sure they’re ready for the year ahead.

Screens can contribute to dry eye because we tend to blink less while concentrating, but screen time is not always the whole story. Poor tear quality, blocked oil glands, eyelid inflammation, contact lens wear, medications, hormones, and environmental conditions may also play a role.

That is why effective dry eye care should begin with a detailed evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation. Let’s look beyond the screen and build a treatment plan based on what your eyes actually need.

September is Sports Eye Safety Month, making it the perfect time to think beyond performance and focus on protection. Whether your child plays hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, or another sport, proper protective eyewear can help reduce the risk of eye injuries. Book an eye exam with us and ask us about sports-friendly eyewear options.

Traditional contact lenses are not the right fit for every eye.

Scleral lenses are larger, highly customized lenses that rest on the white part of the eye and create a fluid-filled space over the cornea. This unique design may provide clearer, more comfortable vision for patients with irregular corneas, keratoconus, severe dry eye, or previous corneal procedures.

Contact lenses may still be possible, even when you have been told otherwise. Book a specialty contact lens consultation to explore your options.
