EXPERTISE

Dedicated to Excellence

With our understanding about your eyes, we will provide honest and personal recommendations to best meet your vision care needs.

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Your vision exam emphasizes the health and function of your eyes. This includes testing your side vision and dilating your eyes as needed. Your eyes tell an incredible amount about your physical health and lifestyle. These procedures help your doctors to look for any health conditions which can affect your eyes.

Ortho-K Lenses

Correct your vision while you sleep. Specially designed Ortho-K contact lenses worn during sleep will maintain clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. Ortho-K lenses have been shown to slow the progression of nearsightedness. Ortho-K can be a non-invasive alternative to laser eye surgery.

Dry Eye Therapy

If you have uncomfortable, irritated, or sandy eyes, you could have one of many different forms of dry eyes. After an extensive evaluation, Dr. Fan and Dr. Shih tailor treatment according to a patient's type of dry eyes and lifestyle. The doctors are adept in the management of dissolvable and non-dissolvable punctal plugs which retain more of your natural tears in your eyes.

Refractive Surgery Co-management

Even though LASIK refractive surgery has become ever more popular in the media, Dr. Fan and Dr. Shih take your decision for laser surgery very seriously. The doctors will conduct an extensive examination, medical history, and assessment of your expectations to determine whether refractive surgery will most likely be successful. Our collaboration with renowned surgeons in Portland will facilitate referral and after-care.

Both doctors have recently had LASIK refractive surgery at Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI).

Children's Vision Exams

Couple of Eyes offers comprehensive children and infant vision exams. Assuring healthy and normal vision in children is critical for normal visual and learning development.

Specialty Contact Lens Services

Contact lenses are now made for virtually every prescription and lifestyle. Contact lenses can help control your child's near-sightedness and they can even replace those reading glasses. Whether you wish to wear color contacts for a special occasion, or sleep in your contacts occasionally, there are probably contact lenses available for you.

Cataract Extraction Co-management

Cataracts are opacities of the crystalline lens of the eye, commonly caused by accumulation of UV exposure throughout the course of a lifetime. When cataracts begin to significantly impair vision, cataract removal is usually recommended. Cataract extraction surgery is an out-patient procedure which involves removal of the natural crystalline lens and its replacement with a plastic intra-ocular lens. Dr. Fan and Dr. Shih will evaluate your risks and benefits of this procedure and will carefully monitor your recovery. We coordinate with trusted surgeons in Portland to ensure the best possible surgical experience and outcome.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Twenty-four million people in this country live with diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. One of the most easily overlooked complications of diabetes is its effects on the eyes and vision. A diabetic eye exam by an eye care professional monitors the effects of medications and lifestyle enhancement. Dr. Fan and Dr. Shih routinely monitor for diabetic complications in the eyes.

Glaucoma Co-management

Dr. Fan and Dr. Shih examine every patient for glaucoma, an optic nerve disease which robs peripheral vision. Your exam will involve measuring eye pressure, testing peripheral vision, and assessing the health of your optic nerves. If we are suspicious that you may be developing glaucoma, additional advanced testing may be required, including digital analysis of the optic nerves. Dr. Fan and Dr. Shih routinely communicate with specialists and physicians to initiate glaucoma therapy and monitor its effectiveness.
