Eye Exams

When you arrive for your first exam, please be sure to bring your glasses, contact lens information (vials or blister packs so our staff can check the size and prescription), and a list of your medications (including eye drops).

During your exam, we will check your eyeglasses and contact lens prescriptions. Additionally, all patients receive screening for common eye diseases (e.g., cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration).

We provide patients with expert care as our offices are equipped with the latest in diagnostic and surgical technologies.

Botox

Botox™ has traditionally been used successfully in ophthalmology for years to treat conditions that cause eyelid spasms. Botox™, more recently, has been FDA-approved for cosmetic reduction of certain facial wrinkles.

Treatment includes injection of botox™ in several locations around the eyes. Effects can be seen within a few days and usually last for approximately 6 months.
