Pediatric Eye Exams

All our patients at Bard Optical look to us to provide quality “Vision for Life”, and for our youngest patients, that starts with our pediatric eye health exams. We understand how important clear vision is for your child’s development. That’s why we look for early signs of age-specific conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye) during these routine exams.

Contact Lens Exams

If you’re interested in wearing contact lenses, the first step is a contact lens exam. Our talented doctors will thoroughly measure your eyes and check for eye conditions that may affect the comfort of your lenses. Once we know everything there is to know about your eyes, we’ll fit you with the most comfortable lenses so you can experience worry-free clarity.
