By actively pursuing continuing education Dr. Sohmer ensures that she stays current in ophthalmology. She provides thorough, comprehensive eye exams including the diagnosis, management, and treatment of eye disease as well as some in office surgical procedures and lasers. In addition, she has performed thousands of cataract surgeries using the most advanced techniques.

The office also holds a beautiful optical shop filled with over 1000 frames and hundreds of styles so patients are sure to find the perfect frame that will compliment their look.

Jessica Patane, a full-time licensed optician, joined the practice in 2007. “I love the one-on-one attention I can give patients in a private practice,” says Pantane. “We only use top quality lenses along with the best treatments available. So once I’ve helped a patient select the lenses and frames that suit their lifestyle and appearance, I know they will have a pair of eyeglasses that are not only functional but compliment worthy too!”
