Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams assess vision health and detect early signs of disease. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate eye function, prescription needs, and overall ocular health. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans tailored to their lifestyle and medical history.
Contact Lens Fitting
We specialize in precise contact lens fittings for comfort and clarity. Our optometrist evaluates corneal shape, tear film, and vision needs to recommend optimal lens types. Patients receive training on proper insertion, removal, and care for safe, effective wear.
Diabetic Eye Care
Regular monitoring for diabetic patients prevents vision-threatening complications. We conduct dilated eye exams to detect retinopathy, macular edema, and other diabetes-related changes. Treatment plans may include referrals to specialists or lifestyle adjustments to preserve eye health.
Optical Dispensary
Our full-service optical offers designer frames, prescription lenses, and sunglasses. Licensed opticians assist with frame selection, lens customization, and insurance processing. We prioritize quality materials and styles suited to individual vision needs and facial features.

We diagnose and treat ocular allergies causing redness, itching, and irritation. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, environmental controls, and contact lens adjustments. Patients receive education on allergen avoidance and long-term symptom relief strategies.

Really great optometrist and friendly staff. Been here a few times over the last year or so and Dr. Peirce really takes his time to discuss eye care with his patients and makes sure they're informed and get the best treatment options. I moved a little farther away recently and still drive out of my way to come here.

Everyone at South Hills Eyecare is so helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. I had a wonderful experience here and the staff helped me pick the perfect pair of glasses- on the first try! I highly recommend them and am weirdly excited for my glasses to come so I can go in and see them all again!;-

I had a bad experience here. We have been going here for 2 years and both years we've had problems with the glasses. The first year my daughter went and selected new glasses but they were way too strong and they had gotten the frame wrong. We went again a few months ago and we had the same problem.

This was the second time I have seen Dr. Peirce and I only go to the eye doctor once a year. Despite my last visit being over a year ago, he remembered that I'm an avid skier and made sure to ask me how my job at snowbird is going. He's a very goofy dude but it fits his character well and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. On top of being so friendly, he also seems to know what he's talking about and he wants to make sure you see what he sees and that you understand what he's looking at when he reviews your eyes. Overall it was a great experience and I loved that I got to look at all of the pictures of my strange little eyeballs, Dr. Peirce made going to the eye doctor a fun experience.

Dr. Peirce and his staff are awesome. They really take their time with patients, you don't feel rushed like at other offices. In the past with other doctors I've had problems getting my prescription right, not the case here. Dr. Peirce is very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for being so excellent at your jobs :
