Comprehensive Optometry Services in Newport News

At N2 Eyes Comprehensive Optometry in Newport News, we believe preventative screening and vision testing lay the foundation for preventing blindness and helping you and your families achieve the clearest vision possible throughout the life cycle. In addition to performing routine vision health and function tests, Dr. Nathalie Cassis and Dr. Martha Overmeyer, offers a full spectrum of eye health services to treat and diagnose cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma.  

Along with annual or bi-annual examinations to monitor vision changes and eye function, N2 Eyes has a full range of eye-wear, including contacts, eye glasses and specialty lenses for unique work environments and generally hard-to-fit patients.

Eye Exams and Vision Solutions

Vision Exams and Testing - Your annual exam provides an opportunity for Dr. Cassis and Dr. Overmeyer to evaluate refractive errors (nearsightedness and far-sightedness) and astigmatism, which is blurriness, caused by irregular cornea shape or structural lens deficiencies. Another benefit of regular eye testing and examination is that our optometrist may be able to see evidence of disease development in other parts of the body before outward signs and symptoms develop. People with a family history of stroke, hardening of the arteries and diabetes are encouraged to visit their family doctor and our optometrist regularly to monitor overall health and wellness.

Pre- and Post-operative Care - Correcting vision deficiencies for many patients is as simple as using vision test results to prescribe appropriate corrective devices, glasses or contacts. Mild astigmatism issues and mild to moderate refractive errors can be corrected with glasses, contacts or LASIK surgery. N2 Eyes Comprehensive Optometry services include pre-operative and post-operative care for patients referred to a Newport News surgeon for LASIK and other eye surgeries.

Laser surgery referral (PRK and LASIK) - Laser surgery eliminates the need for corrective eyewear. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) both change the shape of the cornea. There are slight differences, risks and expectations with each procedure. Our doctors will help you decide which procedure is best for your vision and your overall health. Talk to our doctors in Newport News about the pros and cons associated with each surgical procedure.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is an alternative, non-invasive solution to refractive surgery or wearing glasses and contacts to see throughout the day. Ortho-K contacts, which are worn while sleeping, temporarily change the cornea shape. Our patients report they enjoy improved vision for up to 48 hours without glasses or contacts.

Hard to Fit Contacts- Contact lenses are not an easy solution for every person suffering with vision problems. Some eye conditions make wearing contacts a difficult proposition. However, it does not rule out wearing contact lenses altogether. It just means patients need to discuss options with their eye care provider and obtain specialized hard to fit contacts for their specific vision problems. Our patients enjoy our expertise with hard to fit contacts and personalizing each prescription to each patient. 

Sceleral Lens Evaluation - Sceleral lenses are larger than most contact lenses and have a unique fluid filled reservoir which enables the contact to “vault” above the scelera rather than resting on the cornea. The lens does not correct the cornea shape; however some people who are classified as legally blind can achieve almost perfect vision with these unique lens options.
