Primary Eyecare Clinic
At LaserCare Eye Center, we offer a team of Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, and Opticians to provide the full breadth of Eye Care for all your needs under one roof. We are a one-stop shop for your eyes.
The American Academy Ophthalmology recommends that all patients have their eyes examined regularly. This allows maintenance of eye health and early detection of disease. At LaserCare Eye Center, we specialize in both Medical and Surgical treatment of the Eye.
For patients, who don’t need surgery or are in the post-operative period after surgery, we offer appointments in our Primary Eye Care Clinics. We offer Comprehensive Exams for both Adults and Children.
