Comprehensive Eye Health Exams
A cornerstone of our exceptional eye care is our comprehensive eye health exams. Our eye doctors use these exams to get a complete picture of your overall eye health, check for signs of disease, and measure your precise vision prescription.
Pediatric Eye Health Exams
To ensure your child can clearly and comfortably experience the world around them, we offer pediatric eye health exams designed just for them. Our eye doctors are trained to diagnose vision issues that are common in children, including myopia (nearsightedness) and amblyopia (lazy eye). We’ll also make sure your child’s prescription matches their evolving vision.
Contact Lens Exams
We offer a selection of contact lenses for traditional and specialty eye health and vision needs, and we’ll provide unique exams to match you with the correct kind for your eyes. These contact lens exams give us all the information we need to select the best ones for you.
Eye Disease Management
While an eye disease diagnosis can seem scary, we’re here to support you. We prioritize early detection of these conditions during your eye health exam, which plays a critical role in managing your disease. The sooner we spot any issues and identify their risks, the quicker we can get you on a management plan to preserve your vision.
Eyewear Options for Everyone
Our 80 years in practice have introduced us to patients of all ages, lifestyles, and personalities. That’s why we carry a wide array of eyewear options to choose from — so we can serve every member of our community. No matter if you want high-quality custom glasses or contact lenses, you’ll find everything you’re looking for at Bard Optical.
