Maltavista Optometry: See a World of Difference in the Care for Your Eyes

Maltavista Optometry | 2715 Route 9

Ballston Spa, NY 12020 | maltavistaoptometry.com

There is a vast difference between an eyeglass/contact lens sales website—where a vision test is just a cursory requirement done on your smartphone—and a doctor’s eye care, which employs the most modern, professional examination techniques and technology to assure that you have the best possible healthy vision for life.

That’s the Maltavista Optometry difference. And you owe it to yourself to make professional eye care part of your regular routine.

Yes, Maltavista Optometry offers all the greatlooking, fashionable sets of glasses that will have you looking your best. They offer all the leading

contact lens brands, too. But excellent eye care means going above and beyond that.

Dr. Alison Halpin and her staff take great pride in giving very thorough eye exams in a friendly, non-rushed setting. And they do so utilizing the latest state-of-the-art technology that can detect potential issues in their earliest stages, and treat them before they become major concerns.

Dr. Halpin is a graduate of Siena College and SUNY College of Optometry, where she received the “MIRA-MED 20/20 Vision Award” for excellence in optometry. She acquired valuable experience in a number of positions in the Optometry field regionally, and then founded her own practice,

Maltavista Optometry, in 2018.

Among her many credentials, Dr. Halpin is an International Academy Certified Myopia Manager and a specialist in the progressive vision-correcting practice called Orthokeratology, or Ortho-k, which can slow down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness)—and thus lessen the risk of other eye diseases such as glaucoma and retinal detachments. “It is a corneal reshaping process done with a customized hard contact lens that is worn overnight to shape the eye while sleeping,” she says. “When removed in the morning, a person can see clearly without glasses or contacts. It can be thought of as ‘orthodontia for the eyes.’”

From now until November, Maltavista Optometry is collecting essential items (listed on its web site) to be sent to the 642 Battalion stationed in Kuwait, in partnership with the Malta Veterans Appreciation Program. In return for this support, Maltavista Optometry offers you a 10 percent discount on any frame purchase when you donate any of the listed items. “They really go above and beyond in every way,” says Laura Eggleston in one of 150 fivestar reviews for the optometry office. “I can’t imagine going anywhere else!”

Remember, you have only one pair of eyes, so make sure they receive the best possible care. That’s the Maltavista Optometry difference—their focus is on your eyes! SB
