Near familiar Vaughn landmarks
Outdoor eyes need real protection
Ranch work, hunting, and long days on the Sun River all take a toll. UV exposure raises the long-term risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, and dry, windy conditions worsen dry eye disease. We build polarized prescription sunglasses in-house and treat dry eye with a plan tailored to how you actually spend your days.
If you wear contact lenses, we evaluate tear film and fit at every annual visit so you can wear them comfortably from morning chores to evening drives.
Diabetic and preventive screening
Diabetes and high blood pressure are two of the most common systemic conditions we help monitor from the eye. Every comprehensive exam includes digital retinal imaging, and we offer dedicated diabetic eye exams for patients managing diabetes. With your permission, we send a retinal report to your Vaughn or Great Falls primary care provider so your whole care team stays aligned.
