Comprehensive Eyecare

Eye care is much more than just giving a patient a prescription for a pair of glasses or contact lenses. We will teach you about your eye health and explain the information we gather during your examination to you so that you can help us take care of your eyes.

Adult Eye Examinations. The foundation of our practice is a thorough general eye examination. After your eyeglass prescription is carefully determined, your eye health will be evaluated for dry eye, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes and all other corneal and retinal pathologies. We provide emergency treatment of eye infections and eye injuries, along with treatment of pink eye.
Children’s Eye Examinations. Every child should have a complete eye examination before starting school. Poor vision can lead to poor academic performance. School screenings, while important, are no substitute for a comprehensive exam. Your child may see well but may have a problem with binocularity or eye coordination. The increased demands for close work, particularly computer use, can stress the visual system causing blurring, fatigue, headaches and difficulty in school.
Emergency Eye Examinations. Here at East Side Vision Center, we are here for you in the case of an emergency. There are times when you may need immediate care for your eyes. Any time that you experience trauma to your eyes, you need to be seen. If you get anything in your eye, especially chemicals and foreign objects, you should be seen immediately to limit the potential damage to the eye.
Contact Lens Evaluations. Nowadays, most people prefer to wear contacts instead of glasses. If you are interested in contact lenses, please let your eye doctor know prior to your appointment. During your exam, we will discuss the various contact lenses available and determine the best option based on your individual needs and lifestyle.
Laser Refractive Surgery Evaluations. If you are interested in surgically correcting your vision, Dr. Shorrock will help determine if you are a candidate, discussing the risks, benefits and long term implications. Dr. Shorrock works closely with highly skilled surgical specialists and can provide your follow up care.
Hard to Fit Contact Lens Evaluations. Do you find wearing contact lenses impossible? Are your regular contacts painful or constantly uncomfortable? You are not alone. Due to a variety of factors such as individual eye shape, specific conditions, impairments, or the aftermath of surgery, some patients are considered to have more difficulty wearing contacts than others.
