If you have keratoconus, or any other corneal condition, we can fit scleral contact lenses or offer a wide range of treatment options.

Our optometric team is dedicated to ensuring that you enjoy healthy eyes and manage eye diseases with cutting-edge technology and the highest level of vision care.

Myopia significantly increases the risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and macular degeneration. The higher your child's myopia, the greater the risk. Although eyeglasses and standard contact lenses can correct a person's vision, they do not treat the underlying cause of myopia or slow its progression.

Atkinson Eye Care has been wonderful to work with. They worked with me until I was fully satisfied with my glasses and contacts. When I was not totally happy with the color of my new frames, they allowed me to change it to a different color at no extra charge. Brandy and Meg were so very helpful with everything, and Dr. Jay was super.

I went to Dr. Atkinson's office to get an eye exam and to get new frames for my glasses. Brandi took care of me and she was awesome. She was most helpful in picking out new frames for me. She was so kind and patient with me as well Love her! Dr. Bill is the best! I have been going to him for many years. Always a wonderful visit. He is always so kind and caring. Cannot say enough good things about their office.

Our low vision specialist was unavailable and Meg at Atkinson Eyecare encourage my disabled brother to come in and see what couldn't be done in the absence of his regular care! It was amazing! Meg was able to hear him and create solid solutions! Thanks for caring for everyone! I have been using Atkinson Eyecare for about 10 years and my brother still needs his separate care, but WOW! Thanks again so very much! Every staff with or without the doctors knows their trade and work for solutions! #1 They just care!

Cindy was so very helpful in picking out just the right frames that would be best for my prescription. My new glasses look great and I'm very happy with the results! Just picked up my new prescription sunglasses. Once again, Cindy helped me pick out a great frame and I took advantage of the discount price for my second pair. I've been going to Atkinson for many, many years and this current experience was one of the best!

Everyone was so wonderful and helpful for my exam and glasses. Brandy was especially helpful when it came to picking the right frames for my face, the add ins for the lenses (especially the color and mirroring on my sunglasses, I had no idea there were so many types). I love love love all 3 pairs I got!

Ive been coming to Atkinson Eye Care since I was little. As a healthcare provider who focuses on detail, my eyesight is paramount. Dr. Atkinson and her husband have always be amazing. Dr. Patel was also great. They know how to run an eyecare center! Brandy and Meg were pretty good too. I guess. Just kidding, they were fantastic and entertaining!

Atkinson Eye Care is a special place, you immediately feel the kindness and caring of their staff from the front desk and throughout your eye exam. Their level of expertise gives you confidence that you are receiving the best care possible. I had the best experience ever with the staff that helped me select my glasses. I highly recommend!

I have been wearing my new computer glasses and they have been life-changing! My eyes are no longer strained and tired after a long day of staring at computer monitors! Everything is so clear including my laptop monitor, my large monitors and I can read printed documents clearly. It was a struggle to wear progressives while on my computer but these new lenses have changed everything! I highly recommend them! Thank you Dr. Atkinson for suggesting these lenses!

Dr. Patel and his assistant Ola we're amazing during my eye exam. Very thorough and really took the time to understand my vision experience to then provide me with the proper lens and contacts. Best exam experience I've ever had! Brandy was also amazing in helping me select my frames! She selected options that she felt would look good with my face shape and the look I was going for and I was able to find two pairs to fit my work life and personal life!

This was the fasted frame selection process I've ever had as well! All in all, I truly recommend Atkinson Eye Care if you want efficient, friendly service and expertise in optometry! Amazing job to the entire crew there!

Dr. Jay was awesome at explaining our vision issues/needs. He answered all questions and we never felt rushed. Brandy helped us pick out amazing frames (with help from Jen too for a 2nd opinion on frame styles!) and we are so happy. Thanks team!

I was recently fitted for a pair of reading/computer glasses. It is no exaggeration to say my eyes feel great and much less tired at the end of the day. Should have done this months ago. Special shout-out to Kira for being so helpful and friendly!

The staff and doctors and amazing! Cindy was a rockstar! She was very patient with me and calmed my nerves with having to get glasses for the first time. She really took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and got the right frames. She reviewed my insurance and out of pocket costs up front so there were no hidden costs. The doctors are very throughout and make sure all of your questions are answered. Highly recommend!

An EYE EXAM ONLY for two people was billed/paid at $641, that included a 10% "no insurance" cost reduction.so $700+ or $350 per person. It took 3 visits (2 Saturdays & Monday) to get my prescriptions, and my son still did not get his contact lens prescription. We won't be going back for a 4th, 5th or 6th visit to get what we are owed & already paid for.

For comparison, an eye exam at Costco with prescriptions for both glasses & contacts is $80 per person or $160 without insurance. A savings of $481, so you actually have money left over to buy glasses & contacts with the prescriptions obtained from the eye exam. If you have more money than sense and enjoy endless visits, the fine folks at Atkinson Eye Care are waiting for you!

Atkinson Eye Care is a top notch practice. The staff is extremely outgoing, pleasant, and professional. I first visited the practice after experiencing headaches, and eye fatigue. This was new for me, as I have had no vision problems for 30 + years. Dr. Patel explained my condition (astigmatism), with such a great bed side manner, and helped me understand the factors that were causing my eyes to strain, which was the cause of my headaches. Meg helped me pick out glasses that were comfortable, and looked good as well.

As this is my first time wearing eye glasses, I had a lot of questions, and Meg did a great job giving me options, and helping me avoid bad choices. Fast forward 6 months, I had a situation where my 2 yr old daughter hid my glasses on me in the morning, and I thought I lost my glasses. I had an upcoming business trip, and was in a tight spot, as not having my glasses would leave me unprotected from eye strain.

This was a sign that I need to order a second pair of glasses, so that I had a backup pair. The staff at Atkinson was so helpful, found an opening in the schedule for me to come in that day to get fitted for a new pair of glasses. The glasses were on order that day, and since I was still experiencing eye strain, we add the Preventia coating to help.

The customer service that Atkinson has demonstrated in all interactions, has been top notch. My wife and I are very grateful that Atkinson does pediatric opthamology, as our now 2.5 yr old has astigmatism, like her Dad. The last example that I would like to share, was several weeks ago, when I had gotten something in my left eye. It felt like there was sand in there, and I thought that maybe I had gotten pink eye.

I was in a lot of pain, and since it was Sunday, I toughed it out til Monday AM, when the Atkinson office opened. The staff was great, they fit me in that morning with an appt with Dr. Patel. TL;DR, I had gotten something stuck under my eye lid, that was gently scratching my eye, and Dr. Patel was able to reduce the swelling with drops, and then clean the eye out a few days later.

As I mentioned, every interaction that I have had at Atkinson Eye care, has been fantastic. My family and I will continue to trust the Atkinson team with our eyes, and I would recommend Atkinson to anyone, without reservation. Oh and one last thing.we found the first pair of glasses. Since my second pair of glasses had the Preventia coating, when wearing them, I was no longer experiencing eye strain.

I followed up with Brandi about this difference between the two pairs, as I was confused why the Preventia coating (in addition to bluelight blocking Sapphire coating). Brandi offered to have the lenses for my first pair, remade, to include the Preventia coating, at no cost to me. This gesture went a long way with me, and solidified my loyalty to Atkinson Eye Care, as the whole team really sets the bar high when it comes to feeling like the most important client. Signed, A grateful client

I wish there were 6 stars I could give to the Atkinson Eye Care Team. From start to finish everyone here was friendly and accommodating. My husband and I came in as new patients looking for a more specialized and personable experience than the average low price vision chain stores could provide. This visit was worth every penny. Dr. Patel took the time to thoroughly examine and explain our current situations, and recommend quality products to assist us with all of our vision needs.

I also want to give a special shout out to Brandy and Meg. These ladies are the dream team of helping you find new frames. We have never been to any other eye care office where employees have been so knowledgeable (and excited) about the specifics of the inventory, as well as the best styles to recommend for your face type. These ladies made my day. They absolutely love their job and it makes such a big difference. Thank you to all of the staff at Atkinson Eye Care. We are so excited that we found you!
