What We Offer
Eye Care Services in San Mateo
At Laurelwood Optometry, we provide comprehensive optometric care for patients of all ages in San Mateo and the surrounding Peninsula area. Our services range from routine eye exams and contact lens fittings to the diagnosis and management of ocular disease, myopia control, and more.
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations evaluate both your vision and the overall health of your eyes. Regular eye exams are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your sight and detect disease early.
In addition to evaluating refractive error and prescribing corrective lenses, our exams include screening and diagnosis for a wide range of ocular conditions, including:
- Conjunctivitis
- Dry eye disease
- Keratitis
- Keratoconus
- Uveitis
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
Ocular Disease Diagnosis & Management
We diagnose and manage a broad range of ocular diseases using advanced diagnostic technology. Early detection is critical for conditions like glaucoma and cataracts, where timely intervention can preserve vision.
Our team works closely with each patient to develop an ongoing management plan tailored to their condition and overall health.
Diagnostic Equipment
To support accurate diagnosis and monitoring, we utilize the following technology in our San Mateo office:
Contact Lens Fittings & Management
We provide general and specialty contact lens fittings for patients with a wide range of prescriptions and eye conditions. Whether you are a first-time contact lens wearer or require a specialty fit due to irregular corneas or other conditions, we will work with you to find the right lenses.
Contact Lens Ordering: Patients with a valid contact lens prescription can order their lenses at any time through yourlens.com/laurelwoodoptometry.
Myopia Control
Myopia (nearsightedness) is increasing in prevalence among children and young adults. Left unmanaged, progressive myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. We offer evidence-based myopia control treatment options to help slow its progression.
If your child has been diagnosed with myopia or you are concerned about progression, we encourage you to contact our office to discuss management options.
Laser Refractive Surgery Co-Management
If you are considering LASIK or another laser refractive procedure, we provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative co-management. We work with trusted surgical centers to ensure you receive thorough care before and after your procedure — from initial candidacy evaluation through your full recovery.
Eyeglass Frame Styling
Finding the right frames is about more than aesthetics — it is about finding eyewear that suits your prescription, daily lifestyle, and personal style. Our team provides personalized frame styling guidance to help you make a choice you will be happy with every day.
Lens Guidance
Understanding all the lens options available — from coatings and materials to photochromic technology — can be overwhelming. The EyeGlass Guide, brought to you by Transitions, walks you through a series of questions about your lifestyle and needs to suggest eyewear options tailored to you.
Photochromic Lenses
Transitions photochromic lenses automatically darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors, providing continuous visual comfort and UV protection. You can explore how they work through these interactive demonstrations:
