As an optometrist in Villa Park, our primary eye care service includes a complete eye exam that analyzes eye health and vision function.

Our Villa Park optometrist also offers glasses, contact lenses, and pre- and post-operative care.

Eye Exams

Dr. Downs and the Villa Park Optometry team take even routine eye exams very seriously. During a yearly or bi-yearly examination, our Villa Park patients will receive a patient history review, a series of vision and eye tests, assessments of eye focusing and movement, and an eye health evaluation. Our optometrist will discuss any additional testing that may be required to diagnose an eye disease or condition. Call us a today at (714) 998-6610 to schedule an appointment.

Contact Lenses

Not sure that glasses are for you? Ask our Villa Park staff about contact lenses. Advances in the field of optometry have produced a variety of different types of contact lenses with a range of benefits. Rigid gas-permeable (RGP), daily-wear soft, extended-wear, extended-wear disposable, and planned replacement are the various types of contact lens options available today. Our Villa Park optometrist will discuss the various options with you to determine which type will best fit your needs and lifestyle. Schedule your examination today by calling (714) 998-6610. They are many advantages to consider when determining if contact lenses are right for you and our knowledgeable staff is here to answer any questions.

TearCare

MGD is the leading cause of dry eye symptoms, otherwise know as evaporative dry eye. This can happen when the glands of your eyelids are not producing enough oil, which causes the tears to evaporate too quickly. If you are one of the 40 million Americans that suffer from dry eye, we have a solution for you! Common symptoms of dry eye include stinging/burning, redness, sensitivity to light, excessive tearing and intermittent blurry vision. Contact lens intolerance is also highly associated with evaporative dry eye. 

TearCare is an open eye procedure designed to target the underlying cause of evaporative dry eye. By applying heat directly to the eyelid, TearCare melts the blockage within your Meibomian(oil) glands. 

If the blocked glands are not treated, the symptoms and structure of the eyelid continue to worsen and atrophy over time to the point that the eyelids can stop producing oil completely. TearCare helps restore the health and oil production capability of this sensitive area with the perfect therapeutic temperature to melt the oil. 

To learn more about this treatment, contact our office for a dry eye evaluation today.

Lasik

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, commonly referred to as LASIK, is a corrective alternative to glasses or contact lenses. Like glasses or contact lenses, LASIK is a method for treating refractive conditions including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. At Villa Park Optometry, Dr. Downs provides pre- and post-operative exams for LASIK and other eye procedures. Call (714) 998-6610 today to schedule an examination to see whether you are a candidate for LASIK.
