Along with examining general eyecare patients, Dr. Lee has started a low vision service within our office. He uses the newest optical and non-optical devices to treat patients with macular degeneration, advanced glaucoma, strokes and other conditions that can severely affect the vision. This requires the use of special telescopes, magnifiers, closed circuit televisions, and even digital imaging devices to help people achieve the optimal use of their vision.

Our Practice
