Dry Eye TreatmentDry Eye Syndrome is a chronic condition caused by inadequate lubrication of the front surface of the eyes. This could be a result of insufficient natural tears on the surface of the eye or a result of poor quality tear production. In either case, after evaluating the condition a number of treatment options can be initiated. Patients with Dry Eye Syndrome will often complain of gritty, irritated, scratchy, or burning eyes. If you are suffering from dry eyes, please contact our office to be evaluated.

Myopia ManagementMyopia, or nearsightedness, is a problem of the eye growing too long. Higher levels of myopia carry a significantly increased risk of potentially blinding retinal complications. Currently, there are three ways to slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children, including specialty contact lenses or an eye drop medication. We will evaluate your child’s prescription during their eye exam and can determine if your child is a good candidate for one of these treatment options, all three of which we provide at our office.

Binocular Vision / Vision TherapyDr. Briana Broussard specializes in binocular vision and vision therapy. In order to see both clearly and comfortably, the eyes and brain must communicate well and work together efficiently. For some patients this does not happen naturally. Vision Therapy can be helpful for these patients in order to improve their visual function. Vision Therapy is an individualized progressive program of eye activities prescribed by an eye doctor. If you or your child are struggling to maintain clear and comfortable vision, please discuss this with us at your next comprehensive eye exam.
