An updated prescription is one reason to schedule an eye exam. Your eye doctor also assesses your eye health during a comprehensive examination. Our optometrists offer eye exams across six Connecticut locations.
Contact Lenses in New Haven & the Connecticut Shoreline
We provide contact lens exams and fittings to help determine suitable lenses for your prescription, eye health, and comfort. Existing contact lens wearers can also reorder their prescribed lenses online without visiting the store.
Dry Eye Care in New Haven & Guilford
Dry, irritated eyes can interfere with reading, screen use, and comfort with contact lenses. We offer OptiLight® and OptiLift® at our New Haven and Guilford locations.
OptiLight® uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to address inflammation associated with dry eye, while OptiLift® uses muscle stimulation to support eyelid function.
We can assess your symptoms and discuss whether either option may be appropriate for you.
