The optometrists and team at Big City Optical are profoundly dedicated to offering thorough eye examinations, accessible both online and face-to-face. Throughout your consultation, your eyesight will be meticulously assessed, and your prescription revised if necessary. Following that, we will diligently examine your cornea and eyes to detect any possible health issues. Our assessments are tailored to each patient — individuals with unique conditions, such as older adults or those with diabetes, will undergo additional testing to guarantee their vision is sharp and their eyes are in good condition.

Myopia Management

Commonly referred to as shortsightedness, myopia is a prevalent eye disorder that often begins during childhood. While eyeglasses can improve vision for individuals with myopia, they do not address the underlying issues of the condition. Given that the development of myopia varies from person to person due to factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and age, our experts are equipped with a wide array of sophisticated resources to create tailored treatment strategies for each patient. We possess all the necessary tools to ensure your child enjoys clear, comfortable sight and a future with a lower risk of eye diseases.
