Welcome to Shadyside Eye Associates
Eyes are important indicators of overall health, and comprehensive eye care goes beyond a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. At Shadyside Eye Associates, we take the time to get to know you, your eye care history, and your vision needs. Dr. Telega provides the expert care, advice, options, and follow up you need whether you are a new patient or an existing one.
We are also doing our part to be environmentally responsible by running a nearly completely paperless office, using sustainable products in our office design and build out, and offering a complete line of very cool eco-sustainable eye wear. These glasses are made from either 100% biodegradable, recycled or sustainable materials and with excellent quality and amazing style.

Focus On Eye Care Services
During a complete eye exam, Dr. Telegawill not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.
A number of new studies suggest that it is possible to slow the progression of myopia (also known as nearsightedness) in young children and teenagers. Slowing the progression of myopia may keep your child from developing high levels of nearsightedness.
Scleral lenses are large diameter gas permeable lenses that are designed for patients with corneal irregularities such as keratoconus, post corneal transplants, injury, severe dry eye, among others.
Our staff will help you find the best fit for your needs and explain how different lenses and frames will impact your vision. We carry a large variety of top designer frames for both eyeglasses and sunglasses.
