Optometry Services in Pittsburgh
At Lappen Eye Care, we provide optometry services to support your vision and protect your long-term eye health.

Whether you need a routine eye exam or ongoing management for a condition, our team is here to deliver thorough, personalized, and easy-to-navigate care.
Routine eye exams are the foundation of healthy vision. Our exams evaluate your eyesight and check for early signs of eye disease and overall health concerns.
We diagnose, monitor, and manage conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease, with a focus on early detection and long-term stability.
Dry, irritated eyes can affect your comfort and daily life. We take a personalized approach, identifying the root cause of your symptoms and recommending treatments.
If cataracts begin to impact your vision, we guide you through every step of the process. From early detection to pre- and post-surgical care, we work closely with specialists.

Care for Growing Eyes
Support Your Child’s Vision
Your child’s vision plays an important role in how they learn, grow, and experience the world. At Lappen Eye Care, we provide pediatric eye care focused on early detection, ongoing monitoring, and age-appropriate solutions to support healthy visual development. Our team takes the time to create a comfortable experience for you and your child while ensuring their eyes are developing as they should.
Children’s eye exams help detect vision issues early. We evaluate visual development, eye coordination, and overall eye health to support success in school and daily activities.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, can progress quickly in children. We offer advanced myopia management options designed to slow progression and reduce the risk of future eye health complications.
Ortho-k lenses are worn overnight to reshape the cornea, allowing your child to see clearly during the day without glasses or contact lenses. This option can also help manage myopia progression.
