TeleHealth For Optometry and Better Eye Care

Lucent Family Eye Care with Convenient Telehealth Appointments

At Lucent Family Eye Care, we began offering telehealth appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure our patients could continue receiving essential eye care safely and conveniently. Since then, we’ve continued to provide this service for patients who are unable to visit our office in person due to illness, travel limitations, scheduling challenges, or other reasons.

Our secure telehealth platform allows our optometrists to consult with you remotely for a range of eye care concerns—offering the same level of care and attention you would receive during an in-office visit, all from the comfort of your home.

Whether you're dealing with an urgent eye issue or simply need professional guidance, we’re here to help—wherever you are.
