Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced diagnostic tools like Optomap imaging, we screen for eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration while providing personalized recommendations for corrective lenses. Doctors Dirk Beyer and Robert Wilkins lead this service with over 23 years of combined experience in preventive eye care.
Contact Lenses
We specialize in fitting hard-to-fit contact lenses including scleral, ortho-k, and toric designs for astigmatism. Our Guaranteed Contact Lens Success Program offers trial lenses and follow-up evaluations to ensure comfort and proper fit. Doctors Mariah Mittman and Chris Qualls provide expertise in extended-wear and specialty lenses for patients with complex vision needs.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our Envision dry eye treatment addresses symptoms like irritation and blurred vision using advanced therapy techniques. The service includes diagnostic testing to identify underlying causes such as tear film instability or meibomian gland dysfunction. We offer customized treatment plans incorporating prescription medications, lid hygiene products, and lifestyle modifications.
Pediatric Eye Care
We conduct comprehensive eye exams for children aged 6 months and older, including school vision screenings. Our optometrists specifically test for amblyopia, strabismus, and learning-related vision issues. The team employs child-friendly diagnostic tools and offers ortho-k lenses for myopia management to slow nearsightedness progression in young patients.
Emergency Eye Care
Available during standard business hours, our walk-in clinic addresses urgent eye issues like foreign body removal, chemical exposure, and sudden vision changes.

Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. Doctors fully explain what is going on with your eyes and vision. Optomitrist ladies very helpful in selecting frames, fitting them to your face and correctly aligning the bifocals. Friendly folks and very accomodating.

Thought the exam was expensive until they ran every test, spent lots of time checking to make sure I understood what each test was for. Oh and did I mention how nice they all were! From the tech to the doc. So glad I went. Very professional. I would recommend to anyone, even if you're trying to save a few bucks. Worth every penny. Thanks big sky eye care!
