Video-Assisted Eye Health
Exceptional eye care from our doctors around the country, right in our office.™
With advancements in technology, taking care of your eye health has never been easier.
We offer two convenient ways to see your optometrist: through a traditional in-person visit or through our video-assisted eye health exam—both offering great care!
How do video-assisted exams work?
Video-assisted eye health exams utilize state-of-the-art technology to bring a licensed doctor to you in the exam room via real-time video. Precision instrumented testing is completed by a specially trained, on-site technician and shared with your remote doctor.
On-Site Technician
Our technician stays with you throughout the exam and assists your doctor.
Remote Doctor
The doctor has full access to your history, your exam images, and can even control the instruments in the room while speaking with you in a two-way video call.
You, Our Patient
You will be able to ask the doctor questions, discuss any concerns, and receive a comprehensive treatment plan.
