Pediatric Eye Health Exams

We care for your entire family — starting with your little ones. Our doctors are parents themselves, so they know engaging, child-friendly tests are essential for comfortable pediatric eye health exams. Bard Optical’s “Vision for Life” philosophy means we test for age-specific conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye) to ensure your children have a strong foundation for their eye health.

Contact Lens Exams

When it comes to comfortable contact lenses, updated prescriptions are just the beginning. Our doctors understand that the size, fit, and brand of your lenses greatly impact your vision quality and comfort — that’s why they take their time to measure your eyes, select the right contacts, and fit your lenses so you can have worry-free clarity.
