Comprehensive
eye care

In addition to surgical and procedural care, The Eye Center provides medical optometric care focused on the diagnosis and management of ocular disease. This care supports patients who require ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and non-surgical treatment as part of their overall eye health plan.

Foundation

What medical optometric care means

Medical optometric care focuses on identifying, monitoring, and managing eye conditions that affect vision and long-term eye health. This type of care often plays an important role before or after surgical treatment, or when surgery is not required.

At The Eye Center, medical optometric care is provided in close coordination with our ophthalmologists to ensure continuity, clarity, and appropriate next steps for each patient.

Coordinated care

Seamless care within one practice

Your eye health journey often involves multiple types of care. At The Eye Center, our medical optometrists and surgeons work together, sharing information and coordinating treatment decisions to ensure you receive the right care at the right time.
