I was a nanny for two little girls, ages five and three, in Switzerland. The youngest wasn't developing as expected. She wasn't making eye contact, wasn't listening well, and behind in speech. After seeing a long list of specialists, all of whom reported everything was fine, our last stop was an optometrist. She was a warm and friendly doctor, making the kiddo feel comfortable and at ease.
We learned that she needed glasses for being extremely near sighted. The moment she put her glasses on, her world changed. Her posture immediately straightened, she looked us in the eyes, and began interacting with her world. It was beautiful. Everything we had been worried about fell into place. Right then and there, I knew I had found my passion, my career, and the way I could directly impact peoples' lives everyday.

I love Dr Chevalier!
He helped me through some serious side effects from my cancer care.
This month was just my annual visit, but he seems very engaged in my overall continuous eye health.
Was very good about explaining my scans and what they are looking for and watching.
We went to Dr. Bussey today because my son could potentially have complications with his eyes due to a health condition.
He has been to a lot of medical Dr's lately and was nervous.
Dr. Bussey and her staff were incredible with him.

If you've had a vision screening recently, you might say, My vision is fine!
I don't need a comprehensive eye exam.
But a vision screening provides a limited perspective on the overall health of your eyes.
It's a bit like getting your blood pressure checked and not getting the rest of your annual physical.
You'll have useful information, but it's not the whole picture.
If you've never worn contact lenses before, it can seem a bit intimidating.
After all, you're inserting something into your eye!

Our Technology
Report
OPTOS - We take a wide-angle picture of your retina (the inside of your eye).
This shows us the health of your eyes and allows us to directly compare images from year to year.
OCT - We can measure each cellular layer in the major structures inside your eye.
These cross-section scans help us detect and monitor disease in ways not possible with traditional eye exams.
Diopsys VEP/ERG - We can measure electrical activity in your visual pathway to the brain.
This shows us how the eyes communicate with the brain and if the signal is smaller or slower.
