Urgent Care

For patients seeking emergency eye care, we offer urgent care and try our best to accommodate immediate appointments. However, if it is a life threatening emergency, we advise you to call 911.

Eye Examinations

Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. The entire exam process can take an hour depending on the complexity of your problems.  You will be evaluated with a refraction, slit lamp, intraocular pressure and full retinal exam.  Further diagnostic testing such as optic nerve imaging and computerized visual field testing may also be done, if indicated by Dr. Messinger's findings.

LASIK is one of the most popular, eye surgery choices for treating low-to-high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. We provide co-management, including pre-operative testing, post-operative care and treatment for LASIK surgery.
