YOUR EYES AND SIGHT MEAN

THE WORLD TO US

We are able to treat and diagnose eye related health issues in Westminster Colorado and The Metro Denver area and now, also in Broom field, Colorado. We can manage persons with diabetes and glaucoma as well as diagnose and treat many health issues of the eye, including “pink eye” and remove any foreign bodies in the orbital lobe.

In addition, we perform full routine eye exams and write various prescriptions. Our doctors are well trained and have years of experience fitting the hard to fit contact lens wearer. They pride themselves on ensuring you have the most comfortable lens for vision and wear schedule as well as the healthiest lens available within your specified budget (when prudent for the health of your eye).

We have state of the art technology. As an example we do not do the dreaded “puff of air” but use new softer instruments to obtain your intra-ocular pressure. We also offer digital retinal images when you do not have the opportunity or desire to dilate for the health screening of the eye.
