EYE EXAMS
Our doctors will evaluate the health of your eyes and provide an accurate prescription for glasses.
Our routine eye exams include:
- PRESCRIPTION: providing clear and comfortable vision.
- Depth perception, color vision, and peripheral vision testing.
- EYE DISEASE SCREENING: glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts diabetic and hypertensive retina screening.
- DIGITAL IMAGING: of the eye’s health (optional fee but highly recommended).
CONTACT LENS EVALUATIONS
Contact lenses offer the freedom away from glasses during sports, a night out, or simply daily activities. A careful contact lens fitting will provide clear, comfortable, and healthy vision for wearers of all ages.
Our doctors fit soft and rigid contact lenses for astigmatism, bifocals and multifocals, and daily disposables, using the latest technologies.
If you have stopped wearing contact lenses because of discomfort or poor vision, let our doctors know! They will introduce the newest contact lens technologies to provide the most comfortable and clear vision we can achieve, using the newest lenses available!
MEDICAL EYE EXAMS (Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration)
We use modern diagnostic equipment (OCT, visual field, keratometry, pachymetry, fundus photography) to detect and manage eye diseases including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, hypertension and retinal detachments.
Our doctors also treat day-to-day discomforts such as dry eyes and itchy eyes, using punctal plugs, prescription eye drops, and clinical advice.
EMERGENCY OFFICE VISITS
We offer same day emergency office visits for red eyes, foreign bodies, and eye infections.
SURGERY CO-MANAGEMENT (LASIK, cataract)
Our optometrists can answer your questions and help you better understand if LASER eye surgery (such as LASIK) is a good option for you. We work with local LASER eye surgeons who have an excellent history of safe and effective surgeries.
Additionally, our doctors work with local surgeons to achieve the best outcomes for cataract surgery.
Myopia Management for Children
Early myopia intervention can help your child’s vision now and reduce their lifetime risk of serious eye diseases. At Lake Stevens Vision Clinic we specialize in treatments proven to help slow or stop your child’s vision from getting worse, including options that may allow your child to be free of glasses and contact lenses all day.
Researchers believe that the environment kids grow up in today, with too many close distance activities (like reading and device use) and lack of outdoor play is contributing to the rapid increase in childhood myopia. While glasses and contact lenses compensate for a child’s blurry distance vision, they don’t stop your child’s vision from continuing to deteriorate. As children grow, myopia often develops as they reach school age and typically gets worse through school age years.
Why Myopia Matters
Clinical studies show there is more to worry about with myopic eyes than the inconvenience of glasses. Scientific evidence has proven that myopic children are more vulnerable to a range of sight-threatening diseases and complications in the future.
Myopia is usually caused by an eye growing too long. Children with even a low amount of myopia have a four times greater risk of retinal detachment in their life than non-myopes. For those with moderate to severe myopia, the risk increases ten times. Other myopia risks include glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.
Myopia Can Be Managed!
The dangers of myopia, in conjunction with the normal challenges of poor vision, mean it is important for parents of myopic children to manage the condition as part of your child’s eye health. The goal of myopia management is to slow or even stop the progression of myopia and reduce its impact on your child’s life. The younger myopia management begins, the more effective the treatment.
We are excited at Lake Stevens Vision Clinic to partner with Treehouse Eyes®, the country’s leading myopia management service to provide myopia management for children. This revolutionary system, designed to treat your child’s myopia and significantly reduce the threat of more serious eye diseases, means you don’t have to watch every year as your child’s vision gets worse.
Schedule an appointment today and one of our doctors will evaluate your child’s vision and make a customized treatment plan to slow or even stop myopia from progressing.
How It Works?

At your initial consultation, your Treehouse Eyes doctor will determine the treatment that will work best for your child.
