We know your vision is important to you – and it’s important to us. When you come for your appointment, we make sure to schedule ample time to avoid having you feel rushed. Our office provides complete eye care for both adults and children. Our comprehensive eye examinations will check your eyes inside and out for any potential eye disorders or diseases. Your visual skills and abilities are carefully evaluated and appropriate treatment is prescribed, whether it’s medication, lenses, or vision therapy.
Our professionals can help fit you into a pair of lenses that is just right for you. We are experts in fitting contact lenses and can handle the most specialized needs. Whether rigid or soft lenses, we are experienced in handling the most difficult of prescriptions. If you have allergies, then you know allergies can be particularly annoying to contact lens wearers. In the past many people had to quit wearing their lenses during allergy season. However, new lens materials and allergy medications have made it possible for these people to eliminate the burning, itchy eyes associated with allergies. Let us know when you come in for your appointment if you have special allergy needs and we will be happy to help you.
Good vision involves more than 20/20 eyesight or just "seeing clearly." Some visual conditions and/or hand-eye-body coordination problems cannot be treated adequately with just glasses, contact lenses, or surgery and are best resolved through a program of Vision Therapy. Our sister practice, Visual Victory Training Center (VVT), provides supervised in-office vision therapy treatment programs in Portsmouth and Concord. We are happy to offer minimal home-based vision therapy options for patients who have mild conditions through Harbor Eyecare Center or refer to Dr. Amy at VVT for in office treatment when required for those who need more support.

About Laser Vision Correction (LASIK) Most people with vision correction issues are wanting to know more about LASIK and whether it is right for them. Here is a brief description of the procedure; A flap is surgically cut in the cornea and gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea into a flatter shape. The flap is then laid back in place, acting like a natural bandage. The healing process is quick and the discomfort level is quite low. People will often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. It must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, often continues to improve for weeks, even months after the procedure. LASIK is not for everyone. People's eyes are different so even though you may have had a friend who has had LASIK, it may not be the best course of treatment for you. If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to guide you in picking the right surgeon, procedure and laser appropriate for you. After the procedure, our unsurpassed post-op care involves monitoring your eyes and adjusting your medication for the best possible results.

Dr. Amy has a special interest in pediatric optometry to meet the vision problems facing children. Good vision is vital to overall development and academic success. Some children can see clearly far away, yet still have difficulty seeing the letters in a book. Unfortunately, children don't know how they are supposed to see and rarely complain, so it is important that parents know the symptoms.
Have trouble reading? Have difficulty with spelling? Work Slowly? Have trouble copying? Have a short attention span? Prefer to be read to? Have poor handwriting? Reverse numbers and letters? Have trouble remembering what was read? Have difficulty copying from the board? If your child has any of these symptoms, he or she may have a treatable vision problem that interferes with learning. We would first perform a comprehensive eye examination followed by special testing to evaluate visual skills. Many visual skills beyond clear vision are critical to reading and learning such as eye coordination, tracking and focusing, as well as visual perception. Dr. Amy is able to determine when a vision problem is interfering with reading and learning. Depending on the depth of the problem, Dr. Amy may recommend a program of Vision Therapy.
