Optique EyeCare, St. Charles

Eyeglasses and contact lenses alone can't compensate for all visual acuity concerns. Dr. Carla Adams recognizes this, which is why Optique EyeCare offers vision therapy in addition to more common optometrist services. This whole-body therapeutic approach—behavioral optometry—helps address potentially undiagnosed complications that can cause anything from headaches to double vision in children or adults. Over time, patients can develop improved focus, perception, and coordinated eye movements thanks to a combination of specialized instruments and physical exercises.

Although vision therapy represents one specialty at Optique EyeCare, the staff also offers traditional examinations using cutting-edge technology. Advanced diagnostic systems such as digital retinal cameras, a Marco automated refraction system, and corneal topography equipment that makes 3-D maps of an eye's surface help the optometrists as they scan for the early signs of troublesome conditions. Once measurements are taken, the team can then help patients pick out a new pair of glasses from a selection of frames that includes choices from brand-name designers such as Coach, Gucci, and Ray-Ban.
