- Primary CareGo beyond primary care - Most pediatricians will check your child’s vision before kindergarten, but these exams are not comprehensive and may be later than ideal to uncover issues like a lazy eye. Rather than waiting several years, schedule an appointment for your child within the first 12 months of their life.

- GlaucomaIt is estimated that there are at least 3 million people in the US with established vision loss from glaucoma, but only 2 million have been diagnosed and are receiving treatment. Most cases of glaucoma could be discovered and treated if those at risk could be examined annually.
- Ophthalmology
- Macular DegenerationIt’s also believed that an increase in blue light exposure can lead to a disease called macular degeneration. While many adults will naturally develop this later in life, studies have shown that when blue light travels through our eyes and hits the retina, the cells there actually sustain damage over time. This can lead to vision loss at an earlier age, however just because you use the computer doesn’t mean that you’re going to lose your sight.
- Laser Eye SurgeryOphthalmologists attend medical school and complete internships and residencies before they begin to treat patients in private practice. These professionals are trained to complete eye surgery, including cataract surgery, and can offer ongoing treatment of complex diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and more. Many ophthalmologists also offer plastic surgery services to help with drooping eyelids that obstruct one’s vision.
- CataractsThe majority of patients who have chosen specialty IOLs are absolutely amazed with the results and would recommend the procedure to their friends and family who have cataracts.
- Cataract SurgeryCataract surgery has long been among the safest and most effective surgical procedures of any kind. Now, with the development of intraocular lenses which allow both near and distance vision with much less dependency on glasses, we can offer selected patients this exciting advance over standard "distance-only" lens implants.
- Eye ExamAssociated Eyecare welcomes children of all ages promoting a lifetime of healthy vision. Our doctors and the American Optometric Association recommend an eye exam at ages 1, 3, 5, then as deemed appropriate by the eye doctor.

- Skin CancerThis type of eyewear isn’t just intended to make a fashion statement, as UV exposure can be one of the most damaging things our eyes ever encounter. Both UVA and UVB rays can cause cataracts or even skin cancer in the delicate area right around our eyes, so wearing full coverage sunglasses at all times is key. If you’re spending time in a very sunny part of the world, the combination of sunglasses and a hat can’t be beaten.
