Dr. Hong is a gem. Not only is he thorough in his exam, he is very friendly. He was sure that I was comfortable with my prescriptions before he wrote them down. While he is the expert, he wanted to be sure he was providing me with the best options for my eyes. I requested contacts and he asked me about my job to make sure it is best for my eye health and to prevent further strain.
I cannot say enough how fantastic Dr Hong is! Oh and he offered me alternate appointment dates earlier than the one I initially scheduled. Knowing how long it often takes to get an appointment, this was huge!

We recently visited Dr.Hong for my son’s eye check-up, and truly impressed with the experience. He was kind, patient and incredibly through in his examination. He took the time to explain every detail of the diagnosis and answered all our questions in a way that was easy to understand. My son felt comfortable throughout the appointment.

An annual eye exam involves more than just updating your glasses or contact prescription. A comprehensive eye exam can also detect eye health issues as well as general health problems. Conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected in early stages through an eye exam, and this can result in early treatment. Schedule your annual eye exam today.

Is a contact lens exam different than an eye exam?
A normal, comprehensive eye exam will allow your optometrist to determine if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses.

There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients).
