With the 4th of July quickly approaching, eye safety has never been more important! See our safety tips below!

Good eye health is about more than just having good vision, and this is true throughout your life. There are a number of conditions that can be resolved when diagnosed early through routine eye exams, so even if you are not noticing any changes in your vision, you should still get an exam regularly. Schedule your eye exam with us today!

Glasses and contacts disguise the symptoms of poor vision. LASIK corrects vision issues. The procedure can correct varying levels of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism (irregularly-shaped corneas). #lasik
