Permeable lenses and Scleral Lenses for Kerataconus and other corneal diseases.
She has a true passion for these patients and seeks the best technology for
them.
Dr. Dave provides comprehensive eye exams for adults and
pediatrics. She completed the Pediatric Advance Track at The Eye Institute in
Philadelphia, which allows her to diagnose, treat and manage patients with
amblyopia, strabismus (eye turns) and binocular vision issues. She is certified

(nearsightedness) as they grow. This is an option to save the
children’s vision and help keep it stable as the growing number of
patients are now mostly myopic.

of ocular diseases such as glaucoma, age related macular degeneration (AMD),
diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy.
