Eye Exams
A visit to an optometrist isn’t just vision testing for eye glasses or contact lenses. Our comprehensive eye exams include a retinal exam for issues such as macular degeneration along with glaucoma and cataract screening. We’ll also evaluate your overall wellness in order to consider underlying conditions that might affect your vision.
So even if you don’t need glasses regular eye exams are important, especially as we grow older. And if you notice any changes in your vision call us or another Pasadena optometrist immediately.
Eye Glasses
We would like to also be your optician to provide and fit your glasses and contacts. We offer an up-to-date inventory of prescription glasses and sunglasses, reading glasses, and protective eye wear. That includes over 20 top brands of designer frames, from Nike to Djor and Gucci. You may also choose mirrored lenses, polarized sunglasses, and various tints. We’ll make sure that your glasses enhance your appearance, not distract from it, and let your personality shine through. When your lenses have arrived we’ll fit and adjust the frames to your face for the best in appearance, comfort, and clear vision.
Contact Lenses
Many people initially choose contact lenses for a natural look, and most end up loving them for eliminating fogging and having no frame limiting their view. If you have dry eyes and even if you’ve been told before that you can’t wear contacts, recent innovations may well have changed that. There’s nearly a dozen distinctive types of contacts so we’ll guide you to the best choice specifically for you, and carefully check your contact lens fitting for the utmost comfort.
Pasadena LASIK Consultations and Care
LASIK surgery and other laser-based procedures can often correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism to the point that you no longer need glasses or contacts. Dr. Watanabe and staff don’t perform LASIK procedures but do offer consultations to determine if you’re a good candidate. If so, they will refer you to an expert ophthalmologist specializing in laser eye surgery. We’ll assess your vision and eye health and help you choose the best options. We also provide post-operative check-ups to monitor progress and your improved visual acuity.
