Services
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye specialists use advanced diagnostics to identify root causes and provide personalized treatments. We offer prescription drops, heat therapy, and OptiLIGHT by Lumenis to address meibomian gland dysfunction. Lifestyle recommendations and in-office procedures like LipiFlow help restore natural tear production for lasting relief from irritation and discomfort.
Keratoconus Management
We specialize in managing progressive corneal conditions using scleral lenses and corneal topography. Our Eaglet Eye technology creates custom lens fittings to improve vision for keratoconus patients. Diagnostic tools like pachymetry help monitor corneal thickness and disease progression for timely interventions.
Contact Lens Fittings
With South Carolina's largest contact lens inventory, we offer specialty fittings for astigmatism, presbyopia, and irregular corneas. Our optometrists fit scleral, toric, and ortho-k lenses from leading brands. We provide comprehensive evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction for first-time wearers and experienced users.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our full-scope exams use advanced diagnostics to assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions. We detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease through detailed assessments. Personalized recommendations address refractive errors and age-related vision changes for patients of all ages.
Myopia Management
We offer evidence-based treatments to slow childhood myopia progression using MiSight lenses and ortho-k therapy. Our program includes regular monitoring and customized treatment plans to reduce long-term risks of high myopia. Education for parents focuses on environmental factors and digital eye strain prevention.
