We change lives through innovative vision care.
Although optometry has evolved significantly over its more than 121-year history in the United States, one essential truth remains: over 90% of optometric care still results in a well-designed pair of glasses. Even with his specialty in developmental and vision therapy, Dr. Henshaw has never lost sight of this foundation. He remains proud of a profession that improves lives every day through clear, comfortable vision.

Real Optometry means seeing the real you.
Everyone dislikes their driver’s license photo. At our office, we take a real, professional picture of you for your chart—so we recognize you, not just your name. During your pre-examination, our trained assistants gather the most important health and vision information, taking the time to listen and understand your concerns. Every piece of technology we use is carefully chosen to meet your real vision needs—not just to move you through an exam faster |
|
Many optometry offices choose automated instruments simply because they save the office time—not because they improve patient care. That’s not real optometry. At our practice, every piece of technology is chosen with one goal in mind: making your experience more comfortable and your results more accurate.
For example, we use the iCare® tonometer to measure eye pressure. It’s gentle, fast, and so comfortable that most patients barely feel it touch the eye. Real optometry means thoughtful technology, personal care, and tools selected for you—not the clock. |

Like all optometric offices, we evaluate and treat eye disease—and we take that responsibility seriously. Real optometry means knowing what you do best and putting patients first. Our real training and experience focus on real vision conditions, especially vision therapy and functional vision care. When advanced medical or surgical eye disease care is needed, we refer you to doctors with real expertise and specialized training in eye disease. That way, you always receive the proper care from the right professional.

|
Our doctor really listens to your concerns—and goes further by identifying real vision conditions that may be affecting your real, everyday life, even ones you may not realize are present. You’ll hear the solid, confident click of a real vision tester (phoropter), not just the hum of an automated device that guesses instead of measures. Your exam is relaxed, engaging, and designed around clear, easy choices in a comfortable environment. When your real eye exam is complete, you leave confident, not wondering whether you gave the “right” answers—because real optometry doesn’t rely on guesswork.

You are tested for more than just distance vision. We evaluate how your eyes work at the close working distances where your real world happens—reading, computer use, and digital screens—where you spend most of your real day.

You have real choices when it comes to vision care for the real world you live in. There isn’t just one menu or one solution. We focus on what works best for your everyday life. We care deeply about the quality of your eyeglasses and contact lenses—and how they look. The right fit and comfort matter, and yes, we want you to receive compliments too.
California is home to several exceptional optical laboratories, and we work with the best of them. This gives us access to high-quality materials, precision craftsmanship, and advanced lens technology. Before your glasses or contact lenses ever reach you, they are carefully selected, ordered, and verified to meet real standards—not shortcuts. The result is clear, efficient, and comfortable vision designed for how you actually live, work, and see in the real world. |

Yet, it doesn’t stop there. Many offices have lost the real art of dispensing eyeglasses, handing them to patients with little customization for how they actually live and see. That art is very much alive in our office. Every pair of glasses is carefully and individually customized to your real face and head shape—not forced to hang on your ears. Ouch, that really hurts. Properly fitted glasses don’t rely on your ears at all; they balance correctly, feel comfortable, and work in your real world.
Give us a call to schedule a real eye exam designed for your real world. We focus on practical, personalized vision care that fits how you actually live, work, and see every day.
