Dry Eye

Dry eye is a condition that’s very uncomfortable — but also very treatable. The eye doctors at Buffalo Optical diagnose and address the underlying causes while providing solutions for short-term relief.

Scleral Lenses

Many patients cannot wear standard contact lenses, and they need other options. Buffalo Optical offers custom solutions like scleral lenses, which accommodate a broader range of corneal shapes and conditions.

Contact Lenses

Making sure contact lenses fit properly is just as crucial to visual clarity as it is to comfort. At Buffalo Optical, eye doctors provide contact lens exams, fittings, and your choice from variety of top brands.
