Our reception area welcomes our patients to the practice. Here our patients meet our wonderful staff and feel at home.
The Marco AutoRefractor allows the staff collect information that will help the doctor determine the curvature of the front of the eye which in turn allows the doctor to determine the patient's prescription with the most precision.
The Kowa Digital Fundus Camera allows the staff to photograph the internal structures of the eye. These photos become a permanent part of the patient's medical record and helps the doctors determine if the eye is free of disease. This test can often be done without eye drops to dilate the eyes.
