Comprehensive family eye care office. Our myopia control clinic offers patented methods to diagnose and control myopia progression. We offer specialty contact lens care including keratoconus, orthokeratology and multifocals. Complete dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction diagnosis and treatment is offered in our dry eye clinic. Medical treatments offered for most eye diseases including glaucoma.

25 year quest dedicated to understanding why there is an epidemic of myopia and what can be done about it. This has lead to a ten year collaboration with Brien Holden and the Vision CRC, multiple contact lens designs, patents, industry partnerships and a number of clinical trials. Currently, I'm serving as a member of the clinical guidelines committee of the International Myopia Institute.
