Ophthalmology

General Eye

The General Eye Clinic (GEC) is the heart of our Opthalmology clinic and serves as the first point of contact for many of our patients. Our dedicated ophthalmologists and resident physicians provide a wide spectrum of care — ranging from managing common eye diseases and delivering routine eye exams to performing complex medical and surgical cases, including cataract, glaucoma, and retinal procedures. Special emphasis is placed on providing strong continuity of patient care. The GEC accepts emergent referrals from outside providers throughout the region and treats immediate eye care issues on a walk-in basis.

We provide routine and immediate eye care. We welcome same-day appointments as available. It is recommended that adults receive a comprehensive eye exam every four years and children every two years.
