More than just glasses and contact lenses!
Visual correction may include glasses or contacts. Further evaluation continues with what our office feels to be the most important part of the examination, the eye health evaluation.

Diabetes
High Blood Pressure
High Cholesterol
Impending stroke and heart attack
Neurologic Disease including Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Tumors
