Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams for all ages detect vision issues and eye diseases early. Our exams include assessments for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and amblyopia. We use advanced diagnostics to ensure accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses.
Neurolens Technology
Neurolens devices diagnose eye misalignment causing headaches and neck pain. Custom lenses alleviate symptoms through precision engineering. This innovative solution addresses trigeminal dysphoria linked to digital eye strain.

Free consultations evaluate candidacy for LASIK and other corrective surgeries. We guide patients through options like wavefront LASIK and intraocular lenses. Pre- and post-operative care ensures optimal outcomes.

Early eye exams prevent lifelong vision issues like amblyopia. We assess eye development in children under 6, critical for depth perception and learning readiness. Services include detection of lazy eye and developmental delays.

I've been coming to Dr Vinson for about 20 years he has done such a good job on my eye prescription that it has barely changed in the 20 years that I've been seeing him I think it's actually gotten a little better. I won't ever go anywhere else cause he really takes care of his patients. Even during these tough times they are taking precautions to still see his patients and make sure they are safe.

For anyone looking for a pediatric optometrist. I do NOT recommend Dr. Vinson Carl. We were there for almost an hour and a half for my 2 year old and there is nothing there to distract kids like most offices (puzzels, blocks, etc.). The worst part of the appointment was when he was talking to me, my 4 year old Autistic child was talking to himself. Dr. Vinson told my kid to stop talking so he could talk to me!
My Autistic child who did so well and was just sitting in his chair talking about random stuff. I could hear the doctor just fine even with my son talking so for him to say anything to him was unnecessary. He didn't need to know he was Autistic either. The fact that he sees kids as young as 2 should mean that he should know how to talk and interact with young kids. Updated my review from 1 star to 3 because I did receive an apology from Dr. Vinson.

I've been going to Dr. Vinson for years. He provides friendly and excellent service for your eye care. They are a smaller practice and they work well with my insurance. Phyllis the receptionist is very accommodating and personable. I will continue to trust my awful eyesight to the kind folks at this office.

We needed a same day appointment, and due to a cancellation he was able to get my son in. He was less expensive than other eye doctors (we're cash patients). He was incredibly patient with my son. I was very impressed with how well he did with a 4 year old. He took his time and was very thorough with the exam. He did a great job of explaining everything to my son. Overall, I was so impressed with how he handled a wiggly 4 yr old. We will definitely be back!
