“Eye exams are an important part of one’s overall health maintenance,” says Beck. “Comprehensive eye exams are critical because they can help determine vision threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts. Early detection can help save eyesight.”

The clinic also offers diagnostic tests such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) for patients who need more specialized scans. An OCT shows an image of the tissue layers within the retina.
