COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM

A comprehensive eye exam determines not only your visual acuity and prescription needs, but more importantly evaluates the complete health of your eyes from front to back — detecting early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and retinal detachment. Systemic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes can also be detected through the appearance of the delicate structures within the eye.

• Comprehensive eye exams for adults and children of all ages
• Advanced retinal imaging and fundus photography
• Glaucoma screening with tonometry and visual field testing
• Prescription updates for glasses and contact lenses
• Detection of systemic conditions through ocular findings
• Annual exams recommended for all patients

Covered by most vision and medical insurance plans. Same-week appointments available.

PEDIATRIC EYE EXAMS

Good vision is essential to your child’s learning, development, and confidence. The American Optometric Association estimates that 1 in 4 school-age children has an undetected vision problem — yet many go undiagnosed because children rarely complain about blurry vision. Dr. Zhao provides comprehensive, child-friendly eye exams that go well beyond the basic school screening.

• Amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes)
• Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
• Eye teaming, tracking, and depth perception
• Overall eye health from front to back

We recommend annual exams starting at age 1, and we see patients from infants through teenagers in a calm, welcoming environment.

DIABETIC EYE CARE

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the United States. High blood sugar damages the delicate blood vessels in the retina over time — often without any noticeable symptoms until vision loss has already begun. Dr. Zhao provides thorough annual diabetic eye exams using advanced retinal imaging and fundus photography to detect changes early and monitor progression over time.

• Diabetic retinopathy screening and monitoring
• Diabetic macular edema detection
• Glaucoma and cataract screening (both occur at higher rates in diabetic patients)
• Coordination of care with your primary care physician or endocrinologist

The American Diabetes Association recommends annual dilated eye exams for all people with diabetes. Most diabetic eye exams are covered under medical insurance as a medically necessary service.

GLAUCOMA EVALUATION

Glaucoma is often called “the silent thief of sight” — it causes no pain and no noticeable vision changes until permanent damage has already occurred. Dr. Zhao uses advanced diagnostic equipment including tonometry, visual field testing, fundus photography, and optic nerve imaging to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective and vision loss can still be prevented.

• Intraocular pressure measurement (tonometry)
• Optic nerve evaluation and fundus photography
• Visual field testing to map peripheral vision
• Corneal thickness measurement (pachymetry)
• Gonioscopy to examine the drainage angle

Glaucoma screenings are recommended annually for patients over 60, those with a family history, and anyone with elevated eye pressure. Most evaluations are covered under medical insurance.

DRY EYE MANAGEMENT

Dry eye disease affects millions of Americans, yet most patients spend years managing symptoms with over-the-counter drops without ever addressing the underlying cause. Dr. Zhao takes a comprehensive approach to dry eye — identifying whether your symptoms stem from insufficient tear production or poor tear quality, then building a personalized treatment plan for lasting relief.

• Tear film assessment and meibomian gland evaluation
• Prescription anti-inflammatory treatments (Restasis, Xiidra)
• Punctal plugs to slow tear drainage and extend natural tear contact time
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy for evaporative dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction
• Warm compresses, lid hygiene, and omega-3 nutritional support

IPL therapy and punctal plugs are both performed in-office and offer significant relief for patients who haven’t responded to drops alone. Most dry eye evaluations are covered under medical insurance.

DIGITAL EYE STRAIN

Digital eye strain — also called computer vision syndrome — affects an estimated 60 million Americans and is one of the fastest-growing visual complaints of the modern era. If your eyes feel tired, dry, or uncomfortable after a day of screen use, the cause is often a combination of reduced blinking, sustained near focus, uncorrected prescription, or underlying dry eye. Dr. Zhao evaluates all contributing factors and creates a targeted treatment plan to get you back to comfortable, productive vision.

• Eye fatigue, headaches, and blurry vision after screen use
• Prescription update and dedicated computer glasses
• Blue light filtering lenses to reduce glare and contrast fatigue
• Binocular vision assessment and vision therapy referral where needed
• Dry eye evaluation and treatment as a contributing factor
• Ergonomic guidance on screen distance, lighting, and the 20-20-20 rule

Screen fatigue doesn’t have to be your new normal. Most digital eye strain evaluations are covered under vision insurance.

CONTACT LENS FITTING

A contact lens fitting is far more than transferring a glasses prescription. Dr. Zhao performs comprehensive fittings for every lens type — from first-time soft lens wearers to complex specialty cases including keratoconus, irregular corneas, and patients who have struggled with standard lenses elsewhere.

• Soft daily, bi-weekly, and monthly replacement lenses
• Toric lenses for astigmatism
• Multifocal lenses for presbyopia (bifocal contacts)
• Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses for high prescriptions and irregular corneas
• Scleral lenses for keratoconus, corneal scarring, and severe dry eye
• Ortho-K overnight lenses for myopia correction and management
• Myopia control soft lenses (MiSight and dual-focus designs) for children

Dry eye is the most common reason contact lens wear becomes uncomfortable — Dr. Zhao evaluates tear film health as part of every fitting and addresses any underlying dry eye for a more comfortable, sustainable experience.

MYOPIA MANAGEMENT

Myopia is one of the fastest-growing eye conditions worldwide — and standard glasses only correct blurry vision, they don’t slow the underlying progression. Dr. Zhao offers all major evidence-based myopia management treatments to reduce the rate at which your child’s prescription worsens and lower their lifetime risk of serious eye disease.

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) — overnight lenses that reshape the cornea for clear daytime vision and proven axial length control
• MiSight daily soft lenses — the first FDA-approved contact lens for myopia management in children
• Low-dose atropine eye drops — clinically proven to slow progression by 50–60%
• Myopia control spectacle lenses (Stellest, DIMS)
• Axial length monitoring to track treatment effectiveness over time

The earlier myopia management begins, the greater the impact on your child’s long-term vision. We recommend a consultation at first diagnosis, especially for children under 12.
