Eye Exams

Dr. Richard and the Spectrum Vision Care team take even routine eye exams very seriously.

Contact Lenses

Not sure that glasses are for you? Ask our Chalfont staff about contact Lenses. Advances in the field of optometry have produced a variety of different types of contact lenses with a range of benefits. Rigid gas-permeable (RGP), daily-wear soft, extended-wear, extended-wear disposable, and planned replacement are the various types of contact lens options available today. Our Chalfont optometrist will discuss the various options with you to determine which type will best fit your needs and lifestyle. Schedule your examination today by calling 267-875-3937. There are many advantages to consider when determining if contact lenses are right for you and our knowledgeable staff is here to answer any questions.

Lasik

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, commonly referred to as LASIK, is a corrective alternative to glasses or contact lenses. Like glasses or contact lenses, LASIK is a method for treating refractive conditions including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. At Spectrum Vision Care, Dr. Richard provides pre- and post-operative exams for LASIK and other eye procedures. Call 267-875-3937 today to schedule an examination to see whether you are a candidate for LASIK.
