Why generic eye care falls short

In large retail, high-volume commercial practices, the standard exam is built for speed—often lasting just 15 minutes. A quick prescription check, a rushed handoff, and you are out the door. For routine needs, that might suffice. But when you are dealing with chronic dry eye that won't resolve with standard drops, a child whose myopia is progressing rapidly, or monitoring for glaucoma risk, a rushed appointment leaves critical questions unanswered. 

Three Specialty Programs, Plus Comprehensive Care

Three named specialty programs run alongside comprehensive and medical eye care:

  • Dry Eye Program. In-office Envision IPL and iLux treatments for evaporative dry eye that artificial tears cannot fix.
  • Myopia Management. Ortho-K overnight lenses, MiSight® 1-Day soft lenses, and low-dose atropine to slow how fast a child's prescription worsens.
  • Specialty Contact Lenses. Scleral, hybrid, and fully custom fits for keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, irregular astigmatism, and other eyes other offices have turned away.

Routine and medical care runs alongside the three programs: comprehensive exams, pediatric care from age five, glaucoma management, diabetic eye exams, and an on-site optical lab with same-day turnaround on most prescriptions.

Dr. Sophia Malani, O.D. — Therapeutic Optometrist and Glaucoma Specialist

Dr. Sophia Malani O.D. completed her Doctor of Optometry training at Salus University in Philadelphia and holds a therapeutic optometry license, which means she can diagnose and medically treat ocular disease, not just check prescriptions. She focuses on myopia management, dry eye management, and specialized contact lens fittings. 

Have you been looking for a doctor who takes the time to listen and tailor a treatment plan specifically for you?

The right starting point in Frisco

If you are not sure where to begin, a comprehensive eye exam covers everything and the doctor will triage from there. If you already know you are dealing with dry eye, a worsening child's prescription, or a contact lens problem nobody has solved, call (972) 334-9095 and tell the front desk what is going on. They will route you to the right doctor and the right appointment type on the first call.

Patients who feel genuinely known and cared for are not an accident here. They are the outcome of a practice that gives the clinical work the time it needs.
