Full Spectrum of Eye Care Services for All Ages

In conjunction with the Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry, NSU Health Eye Care provides the South Florida community with expert care for vision correction, high quality diagnosis, and management and treatment of eye conditions.

We offer a full spectrum of primary and specialty eye care services for people of all ages, from the management and treatment of eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, myopia in children, concussions, dry eye, and infections to annual eye exams and contact lens fittings.

Eye Impairments We Manage and Treat

icon
People with Diabetes
Diabetes can cause serious eye problems if not caught early. By getting regular eye exams, you can prevent or delay future issues.
icon
Children with Myopia
A common condition in kids, myopia causes objects far away to appear blurry. Children may not realize their vision is blurry, which is why regular eye exams are important.
icon
Adults with Glaucoma
Glaucoma, damage in the optic nerve, is serious but manageable. NSU Health eye doctors measure eye pressure to catch it early.
icon
Baby Screenings
Baby eye screenings help spot problems before they affect development or become permanent.
icon
Veterans and Athletes with Concussions
A concussion often effects the eyes and may cause double vision, eye tracking issues, and other issues.
icon
People with Limited Vision
Our services for people with limited vision include treatment options, if possible, preventing further vision loss, and choosing the right vision aids.

 

Eye Care Specialties

Since NSU Health Eye Care is rooted in the NSU College of Optometry, we provide a large list of specialties. Reasonably priced and covered by most insurance providers, each service is backed by extensive research and the very latest teachings, ensuring you will get the best optometric care.

This specialty evaluates and manages patients with brain injury, autism, and other neurological deficits. Our optometric physicians provide visual rehabilitative therapy and a comprehensive evaluation of the visual changes associated with a history of traumatic brain injury.

We provide medical diagnosis and treatment for patients with advanced ocular diseases using the latest technology and instrumentation. Our leading optometric physicians are committed to protecting and preserving your vision. We also assist local eye care specialists in co-management.

NSU Health Eye Care provides clinical care for patients who require specialty contact lens care or who have been unsuccessful in previous attempts to wear contact lenses. Consultations, referrals, and pre- and post-operative co-management for refractive surgery are also provided.

If you suffer from dry, irritated eyes, the Dry Eye Care Center can help. We conduct dry eye evaluations that will lead to customized treatment plans utilizing the latest technology and therapies. From the simple to the complex, our eye doctors will explore treatment options that work best for you.

Visit NSU Health Eye Care for emergency eye care services, available 24 hours a day/7 days a week for patients with eye injuries, acute ocular diseases, and other emergent eye conditions.

Receive affordable care for complicated or advanced glaucoma. We employ the most current diagnostic technologies to accurately diagnose and manage patients with glaucoma and those suspected of having glaucoma.

NSU Health Eye Care is dedicated to helping visually impaired patients who cannot be managed through medical or surgical treatment. We prescribe special optical, non-optical, and electronic devices to permit the best use of remaining residual vision. We assist patients in attaining the highest level of independent living possible given their visual limitations.

Find the frame that’s perfect for you. We offer a large selection of affordable and designer frames to meet all eyewear needs for children and adults.

NSU Health Eye Care provides comprehensive eye care for infants and children 12 years of age and under, along with individuals of all ages with binocular vision disorders such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn), and eye tracking problems. Vision therapy and visual perceptual therapy train and enhance visual-motor and/or perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Receive evaluations tailored to your child’s own visual needs, even if they are pre-verbal or non-verbal.

As the largest service, primary eye care is designed to meet the ocular and visual needs of patients ages 13+. The comprehensive exams include: refractive and binocular vision assessment, ocular health examination, management of eye diseases, and hypertensive and diabetic eye evaluations.

Get evaluated for retinal conditions caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic medication use, macular degeneration, and trauma. Our optometric physicians use advanced technology and work with your primary care doctors to ensure all your healthcare and eye care needs are met.

NSU Health Eye Care performs eye examinations on individuals of any age with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (ID/DD). Staffed by residency trained optometric physicians, our services include: evaluation for an eyeglass prescription, depth perception, ocular health, eye teaming, and tracking skills.

We diagnose, treat, and enhance sports performance visual skill deficits. Following a sports related traumatic brain injury (concussion), we rehabilitate eye-teaming, focusing, and visual tracking skills. Vision rehabilitation at SVCC focuses on reducing post-concussion visual symptoms, earlier return-to-play or return-to-learn, and improved visual skills for enhanced sports performance.

This service offers a comprehensive range of electrodiagnostic testing, performed in accordance with the International Society for Clinical Electro-Physiology of Vision. We also conduct ongoing research about how the function of the visual pathway is affected by disease processes.
