Services
We specialize in contact lens care, especially the hard to fit cases using our lab to design customize lens surfaces. Dr Blaze has over 25 years of experience caring for contact lens (CL) wearing patients, from those with routine visual problems as well as with eye conditions like keratoconus, corneal scars, post corneal transplantation and post surgical Radial Keratotomy (RK) and Lasik where CL are require to restore normal vision.
The light rays of the image enter the eye through the cornea, a clear window similar to a lens filter, which provides most of the focusing power of the eye. The outer layer or epithelium is the eye's protective layer. This layer is made up of cells that have the ability to grow back within five to seven days, and therefore, allow for fast healing of superficial injuries.
This condition is known as myopia, a term that comes from a Greek word meaning "closed eyes." Myopia is not a disease, nor does it mean that you have "bad eyes." It simply refers to a variation in the shape of your eyeball. The degree of variation determines whether or not you will need corrective eyewear.
Even if your vision is fairly sharp, headache, fatigue, squinting and eye discomfort or irritation may indicate a slight degree of astigmatism. A thorough eye examination, including tests of near vision, distant vision and vision clarity, can determine if astigmatism is present. Astigmatism is not a disease nor does it mean that you have "bad eyes."
If you can see objects at a distance clearly but have trouble focusing well on objects close up, you may be farsighted. Farsightedness or long-sightedness is often referred to by its medical names, hypermetropia or hyperopia. Hyperopia causes the eyes to exert extra effort to see close up. After viewing near objects for an extended period, you may experience blurred vision, headaches and eyestrain.

Great professional experience from every member of the team, from the time i made the appointment to selecting my glasses. I appreciated the patience and details my optometrist went through in explaining specifics regarding what she discovered from the exam and the options I had available. The gentleman assisting with my selection of frames was fun to work with as he had a great sense of fashion. He was very knowledgeable with my insurance coverage and remained within my budget. Overall it was a great experience.

He is an expert in my eye condition, which is kerataconus. I really trust Dr. Blaze and his staff to provide the best vision that is possible.

I changed to Coast Opt 2 years ago and have been very satisfied with both the level of care and service. Dr Blaze is professional, thorough and engaging. He ask lots of questions and delivers what the patient needs. His staff is excellent, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I strongly recommend CO for your optometry needs.
