Digital Retinal Photography is a photographic document of the most central and vulnerable area of your retina. It serves as a diagnostic tool and future reference to evaluate the changes of your eyes through out time.

Digital Retinal Photography can detect many early and subtle changes of the background of your eyes- not only are the ones due to the systematic diseases, like diabetics, high blood pressure but also other common eye diseases like glaucoma or Macular Degeneration.Our goal is to pick up any early changes and manage them before severely damaging of your ocular health and vision.

There are some places you visit and they provide great service....some places you go to and they change your life for the better.
I want to thank the staff and Dr. Merino for the exceptional service they provided me and my 5 year old son and has worn glasses since he was a little over a year old.
Parents of children with special needs have a different experience many times, and things so ordinary and straightforward to others can be stress-inducing, very difficult and anxiety ridden for us.
Then you get an appointment with a place like this and...they just get it. They were so nice and patient

Just recently I was in with my son and I’m so grateful to Dr. Lim and the staff who redirected me to go into emergency room with him his eyes scans where not looking good. If it wasn’t for the doctor, who knows how much longer I would have to wait to get him seen. Now he is on his way to recovery with medication to get his eye sight back. I’m so thankful to you guys 😊

Today was my first time coming; as a new patient! I loved it, I loved every moment of it; very clean, they sanitized everything while I was there. Quick appointment! Dr was ready as soon as I finished my pre-screening! I’ll gladly be making this my home office.

I have been coming to this optometry clinic since I was 8years old and made sure to follow them to their new location when they moved. My kids and I have always received great customer service. The ladies in the front desk are great, they take the time to help you and have patience to help you decide on a good pair of frames. I always look forward to my eye check ups with Dr. Lim, he's the best!!!

Excellent The doctor merino is super nice and he explained the whole procedure to me. He was very patient with my 4-year-old son who was very afraid that they would check it out because it was his first time. the reception girls very friendly. I recommend this place for the whole family
