In Laurel Springs

Our comprehensive eye care services in Laurel Springs encompass everything from adult and children’s eye exams and hard-to-fit contact lenses to expert management of eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and dry eye.

At our modern private practice, we understand the importance of emergency eye care, especially with our proximity to numerous construction sites. Our clinic services the South Jersey area with state-of-the-art equipment to help diagnose and treat eye diseases, especially for our cherished older patients whom we cater to with specialized care. We are delighted to be your trusted family eye care provider, serving Camden County and Gloucester Township patients, including Laurel Springs, Runnemede, Somerdale, Stratford, Blackwood, and Deptford.

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Is it time to update your glasses—or just check your eye health? Our thorough eye exams go beyond vision testing to screen for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and more. Stay ahead of changes in your vision with expert care tailored to your needs.

Glaucoma Testing and Treatment

Our eye doctors conduct a non-invasive scan of your retina using cutting-edge technology to thoroughly evaluate your eye health and wellness and detect potential signs of glaucoma (the silent thief).

Cataract Surgery Co-Management

After reaching the age of 55, cataracts frequently lead to vision loss. When cataracts are detected, we refer you to a trusted surgeon, while we look after you with pre and post cataract surgery care.

Dry Eye
Treatment

Do you have a constant scratchy or burning feeling in your eyes? These typical signs indicate dry eye syndrome. Discover effective dry eye treatments we offer to alleviate your discomfort.

I had a very scary experience with sudden distortion in my vision and wasn't able to find anyone in the area to examine me same day until my parents recommended Prate Family Eye Care. They saw me right away even though I was a new patient, were able to determine that my issue was not at all an emergency, and gave me such peace of mind. They saved me what would have been hours and hours of waiting at an ER. The doctor and all of the staff were amazingly friendly and nice. They were efficient, but also took time to listen to me and were so understanding. Highly recommend.

I’ve been coming to Dr Prate for 27 years so hard to believe. Amazing doctors and staff, treat me like family. I use to live 3 minutes from their office and for the past 15 years I drive an hour just to see them for my eyes. All my other drs I have changed because of time/location but I won’t change eye drs🩷 Steph who is the office manager has always bent over backwards to make space for my appts and she can recall every pair of glasses I have lol. Nothing but love for this place
