Woman eye exam

These exams are just as the title suggests... comprehensive. For example, those school eye exams your children get are NOT enough. During our comprehensive eye exams, we will assess your visual acuity and eye health. We will test for common eye diseases, look at your historical health, assess how your eyes work together, and evaluate the health of your retina, optic nerve, and retinal blood vessels.

From LASIK to cataract surgery, you may need a helping hand. We provide pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care for LASIK and other vision correction procedures across our locations in Virginia. However, we don’t perform the actual surgery. We will help you find the ideal solution for your problem and partner you with the best surgeon to perform your procedure.

Did you know that most people have one ear higher than the other? That means you need your frames adjusted for you. People's lifestyle needs are different—some require progressive lenses, others prefer computer frames or bifocals, and so on. With three on-site laboratories across Virginia, we can get your frames to you quickly and ensure their quality.

Not all exams are equal - quality and comfort are everything. If you don’t want dilation and want quicker and more accurate exams than your average vision screening, call us. We combine the power of technology, like our IPL machine (for dry eye management), with strong analysis and ultimately accurate treatment to ensure you get higher-quality service. We never forget what matters most - you. And, of course, your visual health.
