Cataracts

We can diagnose cataracts in their early stages and monitor their progression over time. Once cataracts are identified, we’ll help guide you through the decision of when it’s the right time to consider surgery. We’ll also discuss the different intraocular lens (IOL) options available, so you can feel confident and prepared for life after cataract surgery. In addition, we help manage your post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible visual outcome.

Ocular Diabetes/Diabetic Management

We closely monitor the eye-related effects of diabetes, especially changes in the retinal blood vessels that can signal diabetic retinopathy. Our exams include detailed evaluations to track any progression, and when needed, we use imaging to document changes over time. We also communicate directly with your primary care physician and/or endocrinologist to keep them informed of your ocular health and support your overall diabetes management.

Contact Lenses in Newberg OR

We offer a wide range of contact lens options from all the major brands, and we’re equipped to fit even the most complex prescriptions including high myopia and astigmatism. For patients who have lost the ability to focus up close (a common condition called presbyopia) we offer both multifocal lenses and monovision setups, which allow one eye to focus on distance and the other on near tasks. We’re happy to guide you through the pros and cons of each option to help you decide what works best. Whether you’re new to contacts or looking to improve your current experience, we’ll work with you to make sure your fit is comfortable, your vision is clear, and your lenses support your daily routine.

Dry Eye Syndrome

If you’re struggling with dry, irritated, or burning eyes, we can help you find lasting relief. We’ll start by evaluating the underlying cause of your dry eye—whether it’s environmental, related to screen time, tear quality, or another factor—and tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs. For mild to moderate cases, we can recommend effective over-the-counter or prescription artificial tears to help restore moisture and comfort. In more severe cases, we may suggest punctal plug occlusion, a simple in-office procedure that helps your eyes retain natural tears longer by partially or fully blocking the tear drainage ducts. If your dry eye symptoms are persistent or more complex, we can also refer you to a dry eye specialist for advanced care and treatment options. Our goal is to improve your comfort, protect your ocular surface, and help you enjoy clearer, healthier vision every day.

Red Eye/Pink Eye

There are many reasons your eyes might appear red or pink, ranging from viral, bacterial, or fungal infections to contact lens complications, environmental allergies, or systemic health issues. Sometimes, these conditions are acute and resolve quickly with just one visit, while other times they may be more chronic and require ongoing care. Whatever the cause, we’re here to diagnose, treat, and support you every step of the way to help your eyes feel comfortable and healthy again.
