New Office Space
As of March 2008, we now have two suites in the Edmonds Professional Center. Our existing suite number changed from 205 to 200, and our new medical/surgical suite directly across the hall is suite number 208.
New Technology
Marco EPIC-2100 Digital Refraction System :
The EPIC-2100 has the capability of allowing us to make an immediate comparison between your current refractive error, your old prescription, and your new prescription. The end result is a very precise diagnosis of your vision. Best of all, this technology allows our doctors to focus on you, discussing all of your eye care concerns, needs, and wants.
PreView PHP (Preferential Hyperacuity Primetry):
The PreView PHP is a visual field analyzer designed specifically for early detection and monitoring of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). PreView PHP technology provides an unsurpassed level of sensitivity and specificity for early detection of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) caused by the progression of early and intermediate AMD.
The PreView PHP identifies CNV lesions when they are very small and often before the patient notices any symptoms. Since early detection is crucial to successful treatment outcomes, frequent testing with the PreView PHP provides an improved way to monitor AMD patients who are at risk for the development of CNV.
PHP testing has rapid testing times of approximately 5 minutes per eye, with maximum patient comfort, and a non-invasive simple touch screen operation, and automatic analysis of test results.
This technology is yet another of the example of the level of care you will come to expect from Edmonds Eyecare Associates.

New Contact Lenses:
Cooper Vision's Biomedic EP:
At a glance
- Great Vision at every distance

- Outstanding comfort that lasts all day
- Patented PC technology
Biomedics EP is the first and only contact lens designed specifically for those who are just beginning to have difficulty reading small type and seeing objects up close.
While everyone wants to enjoy the best vision possible, not everyone wants to wear bifocals or reading glasses. Fortunately, Biomedics EP’s unique optical design ensures you’ll see clearly near, far and everywhere in between–all with the comfort and convenience of soft contact lenses.
The comfort of both Biomedics EP and Proclear 1-day's is made possible by PC Technology™, which creates a unique material containing molecules of phosphorylcholine (PC), a substance found naturally in human cell membranes. These molecules attract and surround themselves with water, keeping both types of lenses moist and comfortable all day long.

Orgreen - www.orgreen.dk
Danish eyewear design goes its own way. In 1997 three young friends decided to conquer the world from a back yard in downtown Copenhagen. Despite limited funds, ambitions were high. The goal was, and remains, to become a leader in eyewear design. The way to do it: Unconventional design without compromises and focus on the simple details.
When designing, the model is viewed upon as a sculpture from the beginning, and respect for the simple features and high quality material is always kept throughout the process. Inspired by anything from American cars to the wingspan of an eagle
By merging innovative ideas with the unconventional material use Orgreen Optics challenges your expectations to eyewear design. It's a flee from the past into a future with no limitations.
Lenses:
DriveWear – www.drivewearlens.com
In the past, clear eyewear was enough. In bright light conditions, polarized sunwear was enough. This is no longer true. Today our lives are strongly influenced by the automobile, which has changed the way we experience the outdoors. We need a third category of lenses in our modern, automobile-centered world. Drivewear.
Drivewear lenses are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of the car. From bright sunlight accompanied by intense, blinding glare, to overcast inclement conditions, Drivewear lenses provide the wearer with the appropriate visual solution.
Drivewear lenses provide glare protection through polarization and enhance and protect vision through photochromics which respond to both visible and UV light. By combining the strengths of two of the most important technologies in eyewear today we have developed the lens of tomorrow, Drivewear.
