GVSS (Gentle Vision Shaping System) Lens Care

GVSS, also known as orthokeratology or “ortho-k,” is a safe and effective overnight contact lens system designed to gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. In the morning, you’ll wake up with clear, lens-free vision throughout the day.

Scleral Contact Lens Care

Scleral lenses are ideal for patients with dry eye, keratoconus, and other complex vision needs. These large-diameter lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of your eye), providing exceptional comfort and stability.

Soft Contact Lens Care

Soft lenses remain the most common contact lens type — and they’re also the easiest to neglect. Even small mistakes can lead to irritation or infection. Review these tips to stay comfortable and keep your eyes healthy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They have a wonderful team! Very friendly and a beautiful, comfortable office.  Dr.  Mills was great. Update: I have to come back to update my review because my husband and I are just blown away by how thoughtful this gesture was.  I mentioned at my latest visit that we are expecting our first child.  The staff were so excited for us and congratulated us.  They also let us know about a NJ benefit for covered eye exams for infants.  Today, we just got a card in the mail from their office congratulating us again and wishing our family well.  It is so thoughtful, and they even included a Starbucks gift card for a coffee! Beyond their wonderful service, the staff are so kind and genuine, which is rare to find in businesses nowadays.  Thank you so much to Premier Eye Associates!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone is always so patient and kind. They are very thorough and are highly knowledgeable. Also very straightforward about any billing. I have been to several doctors that suddenly surprise you with more bills. Here, they are very upfront with what the cost is and work with you when they can. It has been wonderful finally finding a place that not only knows what they are doing but cares about me as a person as well.
