Our Practice

I Care Optical

Annual eye exams reveal not just vision problems and eye diseases they are a key indicator of general underlying health problems. Your eyes are truly the window to your overall health as they provide an unobstructed view of your blood vessels and may divulge health conditions before problems become apparent. Your vision loss risks increase if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, are a smoker, spend hours in front of a computer or have a family history of glaucoma, cataracts or macular degeneration.

Our quality and personable care ensures your long term vision health.
