Primary eye care

Primary eye care is where long-term relationships begin. Dr. Hicks provides thorough eye exams for children, adults, and seniors. Every visit includes careful evaluation of your vision and ocular health. We review your history, discuss changes you may be noticing, and explain findings clearly. Many of our patients and their families have been with us for years and that continuity allows us to recognize subtle changes and guide their care with confidence. Routine exams also allow early detection of ocular conditions requiring ongoing care and management.

Medical eye care

Medical eye care requires careful monitoring and clear guidance. Dr. Hicks evaluates and manages conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal disease. Our role is not only to diagnose but to walk with you through treatment and long-term monitoring.

Pediatric eye exams

Children benefit from eye care delivered with patience and understanding. Pediatric exams at Mountain View Eye Care are designed to feel calm and supportive for both child and parent. Dr. Hicks evaluates visual clarity, eye alignment, tracking, and overall eye health while paying close attention to how vision may be affecting learning and development. We take time to answer parents’ questions and explain what the findings mean in practical terms. Families often return year after year because their children feel comfortable here. That familiarity makes exams easier and more accurate over time.

Dry eye care and digital eye strain

Dry eye and digital strain can quietly affect daily comfort. Patients often describe burning, fluctuating vision, or tired eyes that interfere with work and reading. Dr. Hicks evaluates the health of the tear film and ocular surface to identify the underlying cause. Treatment plans are tailored carefully, whether symptoms stem from inflammation, gland dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, or prolonged screen use. Relief is not always instant, but with consistent follow-up and adjustments, we work toward meaningful improvement. Our approach focuses on long-term comfort rather than temporary fixes.

Eyewear services

Choosing glasses is both practical and personal. Our team provides expert guidance in frame styling and selecting lenses that work best for your vision demands and your daily life needs. We take accurate measurements, ensure proper alignment, and make adjustments as needed. Through our private lab, we have access to cutting-edge technology in lens design and adaptive treatments.

LASIK consultations

Considering laser vision correction is a significant decision. During a LASIK consultation, Dr. Hicks evaluates your candidacy carefully and discusses your goals and expectations. We explain testing results in clear language and outline realistic outcomes. If surgery is appropriate, we coordinate referral and remain involved in post-procedure care to ensure your long-term ocular health and visual success!
