In order to function properly, the eyes must be able to focus, coordinate, move and assess their surroundings. These are basic visual skills. However, some people have difficulty with one or more, leading to visual complications.

Reviews From Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Best eye doctor you can go to in this area. He has been working with me and my family for a number of years and is an excellent doctor. His staff is wonderful as well. If they don't have what you want they do their best to make sure they can get it, if it is possible for them to do so. We will be seeing Dr.Martin as long as we can."
