Welcome To

Eye exams and vision care for the whole family

A comprehensive eye exam in Belleville checks far more than your glasses prescription. We test how your eyes focus and work together and examine the health of the eye itself, which is how conditions like glaucoma and diabetic eye disease are caught early.

Pediatric eye exams look for nearsightedness, farsightedness and focusing problems that can affect how a child reads and learns. For kids whose prescription keeps climbing, myopia control and Ortho-K lenses are options to slow that change.

  • Advantica

Medical eye care in Belleville

Some eye conditions develop slowly and without pain. We diagnose and monitor cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration, and manage keratoconus with specialty contact lenses that give a clearer, more stable picture than standard lenses can.

Patients with diabetes should have a dilated eye exam every year. Diabetic eye care at our office looks for changes in the retina before they affect your vision.
