Patients will be seen by appointment only unless there is an emergency. A complete eye exam will last about one hour and includes dilation of the pupil with eye drops(these drops work in approximately 20 minutes). These drops blur your vision and make you sensitive to bright lights as your dilated pupil lets more light into the eye; this effect wears off in about four hours. Dilation may make driving difficult.

Please bring your current glasses with you to your eye exam. It is also helpful for you to bring a list of your current medications and any information regarding your medical problems or previous surgery.

Children are welcome. Both Dr.’s John and Patrick Costello spent a significant portion of their ophthalmology training treating medical and surgical eye diseases in children.

Testimonials

Testi "I wore glasses and contacts since I was in fifth grade. Life without glasses is so wonderful. I can swim, exercise, take naps, and best of all sleep an extra 10 minutes because I don't have to deal with contacts."
R.L.
Testi "Really amazing to be able to see without glasses after 30 years with them. Makes snowmobiling and other sports so much easier. Would recommend it to everyone. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Costello's."

Testi "After having LASIK performed on my eyes I can now read print that I was unable to see even with my glasses on. I wish it was available years ago."
R.S.
Testi "Before my LASIK eye surgery with Dr. John Costello Jr. I was wearing glasses and contacts for over 25 years. Now I have 20/20 vision without anything. I can see my alarm clock; that may not sound like a big deal, but it is amazing. The procedure was painless and well explained and even easier than it sounded, and it only took seconds to change my life forever! The staff was very helpful and pleasant through the whole procedure. Thanks again for everything."
