I was nervous about my first eye exam in years, but Dr. Bonakdar made me feel completely at ease. He caught an early sign of glaucoma that no one else had noticed.

After struggling with keratoconus for years, Dr. Bonakdar fitted me with scleral lenses. I went from barely driving at night to 20/20 corrected vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our practice, insurance, and eye care services.
Please bring your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of any medications you are taking, your insurance card, and a photo ID. If you have any previous medical records related to your eye health, those are also helpful.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on your age, risk factors, and overall health. Patients with conditions like diabetes or glaucoma may need more frequent exams.
Pupil dilation is a crucial part of a comprehensive eye exam as it allows the doctor to get a wide, clear view of the retina and optic nerve. This helps in detecting serious conditions early. While not always required for routine check-ups, it is essential for a thorough health evaluation of your eyes.
We accept a wide range of PPO insurance plans. Please visit our Insurance Information page or call our office directly with your insurance details, and our staff will be happy to verify your coverage.
