The eyes are the windows to the body. This may sound trite, but in reality a great number of serious systemic conditions are often first discovered by a comprehensive eye exam.

The eye is unique in that the vascular, nervous, muscular, and even endocrine systems can display problems by changes in the health of the eye. Some common examples include: high blood pressure, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and thyroid disease. It is estimated that one half of people in the U.S. who have glaucoma, a common cause of blindness, are not aware that they have it. Early detection is the key to effective treatment, since therapy is often very successful if the condition is discovered at an early stage.

We believe your eyes are very important and will take the time necessary to provide a complete ocular health evaluation.
