Referring Providers

Our office is a trusted referral resource for ODs / MDs in Charlotte, but also throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond. We have been honored to receive referrals from over 100 different ODs / MDs, and that number continues to grow.

New patient exams at our office are typically 1-2 hours long, and this time is spent one-on-one with a doctor who specializes in specialty contacts. Our office focuses exclusively on the treatment of specialty contact lenses and myopia management. An advantage of this focus is we have technology which is tailored to our areas of focus, including the Pentacam AXL Wave, OVITZ, Optovue Solix OCT, Firefly Slit Lamp, EyePrintPRO, and more.

  • As the referring provider, our doctors will continually provide updates on the patient’s exams and care plan.
