Columbia (Nifong) Eye Care Services

At our Columbia eye care center, we’re here to make incredible care accessible to the community, with all the eye care services you need for great vision. You can trust our years of experience and personal care to keep your eyes healthy and seeing great!

Comprehensive
Eye Exams

During our thorough eye exams, our doctors use advanced diagnostic imaging to gain a complete picture of your eye and its health — and then explain your eye health to you in straightforward language, so you can make informed decisions. We use that information to give you a precise vision prescription and to stay ahead of any potential issues with your eyesight.

Glasses &
Frames

Our office features a huge selection of eyeglasses from brands you know and trust, like Nike and TOM FORD®, and dependable frames that will keep you seeing clearly. Our opticians take the time to talk through how you use your eyes every day before they help you choose a pair for your lifestyle fashion, so you can trust you’ll love how well you see and how good you look.

Eye Disease
Management

Our eye doctors are trained and experienced in managing and treating a variety of conditions, including dry eye, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye diseases. Our team will craft a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific needs, and helps you maintain your vision uninterrupted for long-term clarity.

Cataract
Surgery

Cataracts are an extremely common condition where the eye’s lens gets cloudy with age, causing your vision to become blurry. The only way to correct your vision is by removing cataracts through surgery, and our trusted surgeons use their years in the field and advanced technology to restore — or even improve — your eyesight.

LASIK & Refractive Surgery Co-Management

If you’re interested in corrective vision surgery such as LASIK, our team is ready to empower your surgeon with all your information for a successful surgery. We’ll work with your surgery team so you can rest assured that they’ll know your eyes, and what they need, just as well as we do!
