Some of the Services We Offer:
We offer a wide variety of services to the Blairsville and surrounding communities. Feel free to contact us with any questions about our services.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
A comprehensive eye exam is a thorough assessment of your vision and eye health, going beyond simply measuring visual acuity to evaluate the entire eye, including the optic nerve, retina, and other structures. It involves a series of tests to assess vision, eye health, and how the eyes work together.
Pediatric Eye Exams
A pediatric eye exam is a comprehensive assessment of a child's vision and eye health, conducted by a qualified eye doctor. It goes beyond basic vision screenings and focuses on assessing various visual functions, eye alignment, and eye health to ensure a child's vision develops properly.
Emergency Eye Care
Emergency eye care may be necessary for conditions such as sudden vision loss or changes, severe eye pain or discomfort, eye infections, foreign object or chemical exposure to the eye, traumatic injuries to the eye or surrounding area, and sudden onset of flashes or floaters. These conditions require immediate attention to prevent permanent vision loss or other serious complications.
Diabetic Eye Exams
A diabetic eye exam is a comprehensive eye exam that specifically evaluates the eye health of individuals with diabetes. The exam may include visual acuity testing, dilation of the pupils, and imaging of the retina to detect any signs of diabetic retinopathy or other diabetic-related eye complication. Early detection and treatment of diabetic-related eye conditions is critical to prevent vision loss or blindness.
Specialty/Soft Contact Lenses
Contact lenses offer numerous benefits for individuals requiring correction. They provide better peripheral vision than glasses and are perfect for active people and athletes. With advancements in contact lens technology, refractive errors like astigmatism and the need for bifocals can now be addressed with contact lenses in most individuals. Our doctors are experts in fitting the latest in contact lens technology.

Dry Eye Management
Dry eye disease is a common condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort, irritation, and vision problems. Symptoms often include a gritty sensation, redness, burning, and sometimes tearing. Our doctors specialize in the most current treatments for dry eye disease, ensuring you receive the best care tailored to your needs.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is an eye disease that gradually deteriorates your vision by causing damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma usually has no symptoms in its early stages and without proper treatment, glaucoma can lead to blindness. While vision loss can't be restored, the good news is that with regular eye exams, early detection and treatment can delay or halt the progression of the disease.
Cataracts
Cataracts are a prevalent condition associated with aging, resulting in cloudiness of eye's natural lens and causing blurred or distorted vision. Symptoms include trouble seeing at night, seeing halos around lights, and heightened glare sensitivity. The primary treatment method is cataract surgery, a safe procedure that removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with an artificial lens implant This surgery can greatly enhance vision and overall quality of life for individuals affected by cataracts. Early detection and treatment are important to reduce vision impairment.
MacularDegeneration
Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of severe loss of eyesight among people 50 and older. Only the center of vision is affected with this disease.
AMD affects the central vision, and with it, the ability to see fine details. In AMD, a part of the retina called the macula is damaged. In advanced stages, people lose their ability to drive, to see faces, and to read smaller print. In its early stages, AMD may have no signs or symptoms, so people may not suspect they have it. Although there is no cure for AMD, there are treatment options that may prevent or slow the progression of the disease.
Digital Retina Imaging
Digital retinal imaging is a non-invasive procedure that captures high-resolution images of the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels at the back of the eye. These images are used to assess eye health, detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, and monitor the progression of existing conditions. DRI provides a more detailed view of the retina than traditional methods, which can help identify eye diseases in their early stages before symptoms are noticeable, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.
LASIK Consultation
In a LASIK surgery consultation, the eye doctor will perform a thorough eye examination and assess the patient's medical history to see if LASIK is a viable choice for vision correction. This examination may involve measuring the cornea, pupil size, and refractive, along with discussing the patient's lifestyle, expectations, and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. Additionally, the doctor will explain the steps of the LASIK surgery, covering pre-operative preparation, the surgical, and post-operative care.
