Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced diagnostics like retinal photography, we detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical referrals.

We specialize in precision contact lens fittings for standard, astigmatism, and specialty lenses. Our process includes corneal topography mapping and trial lens evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction tailored to individual eye anatomy.
Medical Eye Care
Our practice diagnoses and manages conditions like diabetic retinopathy, dry eye syndrome, and glaucoma. Treatment plans may include pharmaceutical agents, lifestyle modifications, or co-management with ophthalmologists for surgical interventions.

We conduct pre-operative LASIK assessments using corneal topography and pupilometry to determine candidacy. Post-operative care includes monitoring healing progress and addressing any complications following refractive surgery.

Report
I've gone to the Poulsbo Eyecare Center for 2 eye exams, in 2020 and 2021. Neither was a positive experience in terms of friendliness and thoroughness. During both visits, the front desk staff acted as if I was bothering them while checking in. But more importantly, the exams felt incomplete, especially compared to my previous exams at Virginia Mason in Seattle. I have a family history of glaucoma, so take these exams very seriously.
During both exams, the doctor (female) seemed rushed to get me in and out and was not the least bit friendly. During my 2021 exam, the she didn't even bother to dilate my eyes! Overall, this was so disappointing since the clinic is close to my home, but I will not be going back.

Dr. Hedahl and his team earned our trust when the first exams we ever had identified issues no other had (like an occlusion in my right eye). We've been faithful patients ever since.

Dr Hedahl and his staff were all very friendly, helpful, and professional. They walked me through all the choices I had for my particular situation, explaining each procedure they were doing, what they were looking for, and what they found. They spoke in plain language without condescension. I have recommended them to two friends already and would recommend them to everyone.

Fifty years of purchasing eye glasses, and this business managed to be the first to produce a defective pair of glasses. I mistakenly was expecting that they would correct error/problem with eyewear, but found they are unable or unwilling to do so. This was a very expensive and time consuming lesson for me! I would not recommend this business.

The clinic is clean and the technology is up to date in many aspects. I found the doctor to be super nice and informative but the staff to be lacking at the front desk and more involved their personal drama. Lastly I asked if they took the insurance that my cousins I care for have and they looked at me like I crawled out of the gutter. So I am not sure I will go back but I definitely will not not purchase glasses from them. It felt discriminatory
