Complete dilated eye exam
Ninety-minute retinal, corneal and refractive assessment with imaging, OCT and visual field testing included.
Lumen is a small ophthalmology practice built around long appointments, modern imaging, and written notes you can actually read. We look after eyes for a lifetime — not a visit.
Ninety minutes. Full OCT, topography, visual fields. A written narrative report you keep, readable in plain English.
Across examinations, surgery and pediatric care at our Nolita studio.
Achieve 20/20 or better uncorrected vision six months after LASIK.
Each programme is a commitment, not an appointment — a frame for how we look after your eyes over months and years.
Ninety-minute retinal, corneal and refractive assessment with imaging, OCT and visual field testing included.
LASIK, SMILE, PRK and multifocal IOL cataract replacement. All procedures performed by fellowship-trained surgeons.
Shared-decision management of glaucoma, dry AMD and diabetic retinopathy with quarterly OCT surveillance.
Amblyopia therapy, strabismus evaluation, and evidence-based myopia control using atropine or orthokeratology.
A handful of principles that shape every clinical decision we make. Plainly stated; we return to them when we get stuck.
Every appointment begins with a conversation — your symptoms, your history, the way you use your eyes — before any instrument is turned on.
Imaging, refraction, pressure, field — all written in plain language into one document you can read, forward, and keep.
We will tell you when surgery is the right tool and when watchful observation is wiser. Refractive surgery suits some eyes, not all.
Vision changes for decades. We build a relationship that spans them — annual reviews, note-taking that remembers, care that adjusts.
We perform fewer surgeries than a larger practice — by design. Every procedure is planned over three visits and rehearsed with the team the night before.
You will meet all three during your first year at Lumen. Your notes travel between them.
Fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Publishes on keratoconus and corneal cross-linking outcomes.
Retinal imaging specialist. Directs the Lumen diabetic retinopathy cohort and AMD registry.
Research fellow in juvenile glaucoma and myopia control. Trains the Lumen clinical team on OCT.
The evidence is less alarming than the marketing. A measured view on what screens do and do not do.
After fifteen years in contact lenses, a patient journal from refractive surgery to first morning without them.
Atropine 0.05%. Ortho-k. DIMS lenses. What we offer children — and why the choice is not about the product.
We take same-week appointments for acute concerns — flashes, floaters, new blur, eye pain. Routine examinations are booked two to three weeks out. All appointments are scheduled; we don't hold a walk-in queue.
Most new patients are seen within fourteen days. Enter an email and we will send three appointment times matched to your morning or evening preference.
