Eye Care from a Local Practice You Can Trust

We offer comprehensive eye exams, glasses fittings, contact lens evaluations, and monitoring for conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. 

Every visit includes clear, step-by-step explanations of what we see and what it means for your long-term vision. Our care is designed to help with: 

  • Changes in your vision 
  • Eye strain or screen-related symptoms 
  • Prescription updates 
  • Monitoring age-related or health-related eye conditions 

We also guide patients through insurance and payment options, including Medicaid, Medicare, and CareCredit, because keeping your eyes healthy should not come with hidden costs.

Dry Eye Treatment in Brooklyn, NY

Dry eye is a common condition that causes burning, itching, or a gritty sensation in the eyes. It happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when your tears are not balanced properly. 

We treat dry eye using manual meibomian gland expression and punctal plugs to improve moisture and relieve symptoms. If you are experiencing discomfort while reading, working on screens, or wearing contacts, we will evaluate your tear film and recommend the best next step. 

Meeting Your Eye Health Needs with Current Technology

Our practice uses trusted modern equipment to support thorough eye exams. We use: 

  • OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) to scan eye structures 
  • Fundus camera imaging to monitor the retina 
  • Visual field testing to detect issues with peripheral vision 

These tools help us catch early signs of eye diseases, especially in patients with diabetes, high eye pressure, or a family history of glaucoma.
