Dr. Brett Balocca, OD, founded Eye On Health in 2013 and leads our clinic. He earned his Doctor of Optometry degree from Nova Southeastern University and is trained in diagnosing, treating, and managing many eye diseases. He was named “Best Eye Doctor” by Arizona Foothills Magazine in 2021.

We provide comprehensive eye exams for adults, pediatric eye exams, contact lens exams, and diabetic eye exams. We also offer emergency eye care, eye disease diagnosis and management, dry eye treatment, digital eye strain care, myopia control, and laser eye surgery consultations. Our optical team also fits glasses and sunglasses.

Your exam checks both your vision and your overall eye health. Depending on your age, symptoms, health history, and family history, testing may include iCare tonometry (an eye pressure test with no air puff), Optos ultra-widefield retinal imaging, OCT scans of the retina, visual field testing, and corneal pachymetry. Dr. Balocca recommends how often you should return based on your results, and our team is happy to explain each device before testing.

Yes we offer dry eye examination and treatment plans. Dry eye is common in our desert climate, and we evaluate the cause of your symptoms before recommending treatment. Options may include prescription eye drops, in-office meibomian gland expression, Thermal 1-Touch heat therapy, amniotic membrane therapy for moderate to severe cases, warm eye masks, and dietary changes or omega-3 supplements. Your plan is tailored to your symptoms and how severe they are.

Yes. Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in the retina, often before you notice any change in vision. Our diabetic eye exams include detailed retinal imaging and OCT scans to monitor for diabetic retinopathy and track changes over time. Dr. Balocca has a special interest in managing eye health for patients with diabetes and high blood pressure.

We recommend a first visual development check at 6 months of age, followed by exams around age 2 or 3, then yearly exams for all school-aged children. Pediatric exams check how well your child sees, how their eyes work together, and signs of conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes). These are often missed by school vision screenings.

Yes. Myopia (nearsightedness) can worsen quickly as children grow, and high myopia raises the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. We offer myopia control, including fitting Stellest lenses, which are glasses designed to correct vision while slowing myopia progression.

Yes. Dr. Balocca screens every patient for conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and provides ongoing monitoring and management for patients diagnosed with them. Catching these conditions early gives you the best chance of protecting your vision.

Yes. Our optical team helps you choose frames that suit your style, face shape, and prescription, with brands such as Gucci, Oakley, and Ray-Ban available. We also offer contact lens exams and fittings, and patients can order through our online store.
