Every person and every eye is different. Whether you’re living with glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, eye strain, or more, you want an expert who’s equipped to find and treat the root cause of the issue.
Most eye issues requiring specialty eye care include, but aren’t limited to the following:
Glaucoma afflicts the eye’s optic nerve, the part of the eye that connects to the brain. This insidious disease can lead to the deterioration of the optic nerve, all of which results in blind spots in your field of vision.
Our WeCare eye doctor team can help relieve pressure on the optic nerve using non-invasive treatments and interventions aimed at helping you feel — and see — your best.
Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss — and blindness, if gone untreated — for people who are 40 years and older. A cataract refers to a film that builds up in the lens due to the unnatural formation of the eyes’ natural proteins. As a result, vision can become tinted.
Our licensed optometrists can perform just-in-time interventions to prevent the most harmful effects of cataracts. Coupled with prescription glasses, anti-glare lenses, and more, our team is here to provide you with comfortable eye care and support. But, if you need surgery, our expert cataract surgeons offer customizable cataract surgeries to meet your unique individual needs.
AMD occurs when arteries and capillaries nourishing the retina are depleted of much-needed nutrients. Abnormal protein deposits (dry AMD) or blood vessels (wet AMD) can form under the macula, both of which can result in a gradual or sudden loss of ability to see objects and colors. Patients with AMD often mention that their vision is distorted or blurry — and dark or empty spots appear in the center of their vision.
The best eye care is holistic. Our WeCare optometrists will provide a wide variety of treatment options, including clinical drugs and medications, photodynamic therapy, vision rehabilitation, and certain vision aids. Our friendly team will set you up for success in preventing and/or managing dry and wet AMD.
As the use of digital devices increases, our optometrists have pivoted to meet the growing demand for digital eye strain care. If you’re suffering from eye strain, stop by for a visit. We’re happy to help! We’ll guide you through how you can rid of eye strain and better adapt your routine to meet all your eye care needs.
With our treatment plan focusing on lifestyle and prescription eye care changes, we’ll make sure you walk out of our offices feeling confident and assured in managing digital eye strain yourself.
We test for over a hundred different eye conditions, diseases, and issues — like pink eye, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), blepharitis, styes, ocular rosacea, and chalazia — when assessing the root cause of your red, dry, irritated, and itchy eyes. Our licensed optometrists use state-of-the-art technology and advanced field practices to diagnose and treat the root cause of your dry eyes. We’ll set you up with the right treatment plan and education for your needs to help you quickly and painlessly resolve dry eyes.
Sometimes, vision issues aren’t always caused by changes in the eyes’ structures. Our astute, family-friendly optometrists can implement custom vision therapy interventions on a schedule that satisfies your needs. We offer weekly in-office eye appointments with a licensed optometrist that are aimed at improving eye coordination skills, visual perception, orthoptic function, nearsightedness, and more. Whether you’re living with eye strain, headache, fatigue, and/or blurred vision, contact our patient navigator team today to see if vision therapy is best for your eye care needs.
Eye emergencies come up fast. When they do, you want a professional who’s ready to spring into action. Whether eye trauma, sudden vision loss, or irritation from surgery or eye interventions, our licensed optometrists are on standby, waiting to help you with all your eye emergency needs. If you’re experiencing an eye emergency, don’t hesitate to contact us immediately for just-in-time eye care.
Our WeCare optometrists have nearly 40 years of experience working with adults and families. Our optometrists are trained in and have extensive background knowledge on ocular care. We treat each patient with compassion, kindness, and warmth.

“I brought my mom here for an urgent visit. She had a vitreous detachment. They got us in within an hour, were super friendly, and the doctor was extremely thorough and explained everything really well. While we weren’t there for glasses, my whole family plans on making appointments for regular eye care here. They had a really unique stock of glasses and sunglasses.”

“Honestly, this was the single best eye appointment I’ve ever had. I wore glasses as a kid, hated it, and avoided the eye doc as an adult. At College Hill, I felt like I was the only human on earth that mattered to them. My doc explained the process along the way. I’d recommend him and the practice to everyone! It was a real “human” experience. I’m grateful for that.”

“They were simply the kindest. I had a friend who came over from overseas, and her glasses broke — it was missing a small screw. They were very efficient and kind, and we were very satisfied with the experience. I definitely recommended this place to my friends and neighbors. If you’re looking for a good optics place in PVD, this is it!:)”

“I have been going to this place since I was a child and returned as an adult. The experience was even better than I could remember. I enjoyed the new technology and fast service. The ladies are very helpful. I got my glasses in my fast and they were able to modify my fitting. I love my new glasses. I can see so much better. Thank you all for your help!”
