Our Services

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Annual eye exams are key to maintaining overall health and clear vision. We encourage visiting the eye doctor every year to detect early signs of ocular disease such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts.

Contact Lens Exams

At Downtown Eyes, our doctors specialize in fitting soft lenses, RGP lenses, custom scleral lenses, and Paragon CRT® lenses. Advancements in contact lens technology now offer highly customized solutions for almost every vision need.

Pediatric Exams

Downtown Eyes provides personalized eye exams for children of all ages, detecting issues often missed in school screenings, like depth perception or vision processing problems. Our optometrists ensure tailored care to support your child’s learning and well-being.

Optical Boutique

Our Opticians hand pick our selection of frames, carefully choosing styles to complement every unique personality.

Ocular Disease Management

Our Optometrists use advanced diagnostics and technology to help diagnose and manage ocular and systemic conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eye, diabetes and more. They also provide pre- and post-operative surgical consultations and will co-manage your care with board-certified surgeons to ensure the best quality of care.

Urgent Eye Care Visits

Our Optometrists treat a range of eye conditions, including pink eye, dry eye, styes, eye pain, foreign body removal, infections, and symptoms like flashes and floaters. If you’re experiencing any sort of eye problem, or issue that could be connected to your eyes, let our doctors help.

Patient Testimonials

  • Just had a great experience with Downtown Eyes Crosstown. Besides great professional service at the time of my eye exam, the staff was so helpful when needing to bring my glasses in for adjustments. Always so willing to help no matter how big or small the issue might be….and always with a smile!

  • I love the service at Downtown Eyes! Everyone is kind and helpful, and my glasses are beautiful. They have all the newest in lens design and they really know and stand behind what they sell. The doctor was thorough and thoughtful in explaining everything about my exam. The exam itself is thorough and comprehensive. Nobody made me feel rushed in the picking out of my new glasses. I’ve bought three pairs of glasses here now, and have never been happier with my glasses! Thank you Robert and team for all the time spent and helping me find what I was looking for in glasses! I’ll be back for next pair of glasses when the time comes! I highly recommend Downtown Eyes Crosstown!

  • Service was great from the start to the end of my visit. Staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Zastrow took the time to listen to my questions and concerns during my eye exam and provided suggestions and next steps for me to take. Great experience.

  • In my 38 years I've never had an eye doctor that I've looked forward to seeing! I've been here quite a few times now. My husband & teenager got their eye tests done here & then picked out glasses. I had my eye test done in Ohio prior to moving here so I just got new glasses. (small but cute selection by the way) Come to find out, the Ohio doctor really messed up my script. So, back I went to get my eyes retested as well. I also went in one other time for an emergency appointment where she thoroughly checked my eyes and gave me an official ocular rosacea diagnosis and referral. They're so kind and helpful. They can get you in fast for emergencies and they really know what they're doing. I'm very fortunate to have them within walking distance from my apartment but they will give you a parking voucher if you need to park! 100% recommend!
