During your exam an eye doctor views the inside and outside of the eye to detect the extent of the injury or infection and develops a treatment plan. Possible treatments include prescription medication, removal of foreign body, and follow up exam if needed.

I always receive a high standard of care from Dr. Mersch and from the exceptionally friendly employees. I have been treated for my glaucoma and far sightedness. I’m grateful to never feel rushed out of their office.” – patient, BEV MALANSKY
