Primary Eyecare

Dr. Tran provides primary eye care for patients of all ages. This means that she will take care of all your vision and eye care needs just like your primary care physician does for your general body health.

All patients will be provided with a comprehensive vision and eye health examination at least once a year. This wellness eye exam will enable Dr. Tran to check your vision and determine if you need vision correction. She will also perform a binocular vision assessment to check how well your eyes work together. Dr. Tran will evaluate your eye health to screen for eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Modern Equipment.

Dr. Tran is equipped with a state of the art retinal scanner and retinal camera.

Medical Eye Care

In addition to wellness eye exams, Dr.Tran is able to diagnose and treat “pink eye,” eye infections, ocular allergies, styes and other eye problems. She is able to perform foreign body removal.

Dr. Tran is able to exam patients for cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma. Our digitial retinal camera will allow her to capture a photo of your retina (the back of the eye that processes vision) and monitor your eyes for diseases and track progression. This also allows you to be able to see your own retina.

She is also qualified to diagnose and treat dry eye disease and diabetic eye disease.

Pediatric Eye Exams

Just like adults, children need wellness eye exams at least once a year. Dr. Tran recommends that each child have a complete eye exam before they start preschool.

A vision screening at school or the pediatrician’s office is not sufficient. The vision screening usually checks the child’s distance vision only. It is more important to check the near vision and focusing ability for young children since they use mostly near vision for learning.

Dr.Tran’s pediatric eye exam will check distance vision, near vision, focusing ablility, binocular vision (how both eyes work together), color vision, and ocular health. Children’s eye exams are extremely important because amblyopia (“lazy eye”) will happen during these early years and it can be corrected if detected.

Because excellent care requires good communication between our patient’s doctors, Dr. Tran will send a report of your child’s eye exam to his/her pediatrician.

Specialty Contact Lenses

Dr. Tran recognizes that all eyes are different and require different care. For patients who want an alternative to eyeglasses or refractive surgery, contact lenses are a great option.

There are contact lenses available for patients who want to sleep in contact lenses. This is extremely convenient for people who need to have good vision in the middle of the night such as parents of newborn babies, firefighters and patients with high prescription. Overnight contact lens may be a lifestyle choice or for people who have difficulty putting on and removing contact lenses.

Dr. Tran offers astigmatism corrected contact lenses and multifocal contact lenses.

For patients who have irregular corneas or keratoconus, Dr. Tran is able to fit rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
