Why Are Annual Eye Exams Important?

Your eyes can change a great deal over the course of a year. As your vision prescription fluctuates over time, old eyeglasses and contact lenses can start to cause eye strain. Your eye health can drastically change, too: many eye diseases won’t have any obvious symptoms before causing vision loss, but our expert eye doctors can catch the earliest signs of these conditions and help you manage them.

Medical Eye Care in Buffalo and Rochester NY

Medical Eye Care

Our eye doctors use advanced medical technology to screen for the earliest signs of uncomfortable and vision-threatening eye conditions, from dry eye to macular degeneration, glaucoma, corneal issues, and more. From there, we can craft a plan to help you manage your eye health, using tailored solutions that meet your specific needs.

Pediatric Eye Exam in Buffalo and Rochester NY

Children rely on their vision a lot as they develop, but because their eyes are still growing, they require more specialized eye care. Our eye doctors check for developmental milestones, screen for eye diseases more common in children, and help kids pick eyeglasses they’ll truly love to wear.
