Dr. Durocher’s Services
Vision Therapy
Vision therapy helps improve vision by strengthening the relationship between the eyes and the brain.
Low Vision Rehabilitation
Low vision is a visual impairment that worsens over time and cannot be improved using corrective eyewear or surgery.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye disease is caused by poor quality or quantity of tears, and can cause long-term corneal damage if left untreated.
Myopia Control
Corneal molding, or orthokeratology, is used to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), primarily in children.
Personal
“I have tremendous respect for people and thank them for putting their trust in me as a physician, seeking to enhance their quality of life,” says Dr. Durocher. He demonstrates this attitude through his community service efforts, including providing eye care to Special Olympic athletes and donating gift certificates for glasses and eye care to the homeless.
