Walk-in emergency care is available during office hours, but please call ahead.
Over time, cataracts can progress to a point where operation is necessary for better sight. In order to perform necessary or desired activities, cataract surgery is necessary if you are no longer able to see clearly. In cases of impaired driving, reading, or recreation activities with cataracts, surgery is reasonable. The treatment of cataracts is not possible with medication.
Do you think that you might be suffering from cataracts?

A comprehensive eye examination does more than determine how clearly you see, and which lens prescription will give you the best possible vision. Your eye doctor will also carefully evaluate the health and function of your entire eye.
At Eye Care of Maine, we provide our patients with the most advanced lens designs and a full spectrum of lens materials to accommodate all your visual needs, occupation, and lifestyle! We also work hard to offer frames from over 30 quality designers, many of which you will not find elsewhere in Maine!
