Optometric Services

Optometrists are specifically trained to diagnose and treat issues with the eye and surrounding area. If you ever have an injury, infection, red eye, flashes and floaters — or just need something looked at outside of your regular visit — give us a call.

Appointments are triaged by the doctor and sight-threatening emergencies are accommodated ASAP. We can usually have a treatment prescribed, foreign body removed or referral to a specialist done in much less time than a visit to your general practitioner or emergency room.

Our comprehensive eye examination goes well beyond routine. Using the latest in diagnostic equipment, our optometrists can help detect problems with your eyes and overall health, such as diabetes.

Adults are recommended to have regular exams every two years, and children under 18 should be seen yearly.

We use leading-edge diagnostic imaging and ultrasound on every examination, along with pharmaceutical dilating agents when needed.

Our diagnostic technology partners include Topcon Medical Systems (Triton Optical Coherence Tomography, TRK-3P OMNIA autorefractor/pachymeter/tonometer, CV-5000 digital refraction system) and Optos (California Ultrawide Retinal Imaging System).

We offer only the latest in both designer and 2-for-1 frames at competitive prices. When Dr. L. Boulay started Consumer Optical he wanted to offer the best service to his patients at the best value. By edging all of our lenses on site and leveraging our 50+ years of business, we're able to keep costs down while maintaining control over the fabrication process.

Being independent means we're not limited to a single supplier. We use quality products from Nikon Lens Wear and Crizal Varilux Lenses, among other value-added suppliers.

Children can have very different visual problems than adults that sometimes require special testing. Even when a child doesn't complain of blurred vision, there can be problems with focusing, tracking and reading which can cause problems at school.

Our eyes finish developing around the age of six. Catching things like amblyopia (lazy eye) early means it can usually be fixed with treatment. It is recommended that every child have a comprehensive eye exam at age three, or sooner if there is a family history of vision problems.

We fit all kinds of contact lenses from all brands, for all kinds of reasons. Our office also does specialty contact lens fittings for RGP lenses, typically used for high prescriptions, keratoconus or corneal transplants.

If something goes wrong, we're there to look after things. Infections and irritations can be treated in office, and replacement lenses are always available if a lens rips or gets lost.
