A comprehensive eye exam with dilation of your pupils is recommended annually to maximize and protect your vision. These exams allow us to educate our patients on not only the overall health of their eyes but of their bodies too.

Cataracts are a clouding of the normally clear lens that most often develop in persons over the age of 55, but are occasionally found in younger individuals.
