In addition to comprehensive eye exams and contact lens fittings, we offer a variety of special services and manage a range of ophthalmic conditions.
If you’re looking for an alternative to glasses and/or contact lenses, look to us for refractive surgery co-management. We have partnered with ophthalmologists for more than 30 years and we will take the time to answer your questions both before and after surgery. Call our office to schedule an appointment for a complementary LASIK evaluation or to learn more about the Advanced Laser Vision & Surgical Institute.
Did you know that we can help with your red eyes, pink eyes, foreign body removal and eye emergencies. We’ve handled eye emergencies for more than 30 years and if you require an emergency referral, we will find a subspecialist or surgeon to provide you with the individualized care you need.
We can provide diagnostic testing and continued care for patients with Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and Chronic Dry Eyes.
The Doctors at South Shore Eye Center work closely with corneal specialists and have been fitting specialty contact lenses for many years. They fit Scleral Contact Lenses, which are large-diameter contact lenses specially designed to vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the "white" of the eye (sclera). Scleral lenses functionally replace the irregular cornea with a perfectly smooth optical surface to correct vision problems caused by keratoconus, post-operative complications and other corneal irregularities. In addition, they fit hybrid lenses and custom rigid gas permeable lenses for challenging vision cases. If you believe you might benefit from specialty contact lenses, we welcome you to schedule a comprehensive exam to discuss the best option to provide optimum vision correction.
Tears are a combination of water, for moisture; oils, for lubrication; mucus, for even spreading; and antibodies and special proteins. When there is an imbalance in this tear system, the result can be an inability to tolerate contact lenses and an increased risk of ophthalmic allergies and eye infections. Dry Eye is a common condition and we can evaluate your tear film and offer suggestions to help improve your vision and comfort.
