Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams analyze eye health and vision function through patient history review, vision tests, and eye health evaluation. Doctors assess focusing ability and recommend additional testing when needed. Annual exams help detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration while ensuring optimal vision correction.
Contact Lenses
We offer various contact lens options including daily disposables, rigid gas permeable, and multifocal lenses. Our doctors help determine the best type for your vision needs and lifestyle. The fitting process includes precise measurements and trial lenses to ensure proper fit and comfort for clear, healthy vision.
LASIK
LASIK consultations evaluate candidacy for laser vision correction to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. We provide pre- and post-operative care at all locations. Our doctors guide patients through the procedure benefits, risks, and recovery expectations to help achieve reduced dependence on corrective lenses.
Computer Vision Treatment
Specialized treatment addresses eye fatigue and discomfort from prolonged screen use. Our approach includes customized eyewear solutions, ergonomic adjustments, and vision therapy techniques. This service helps patients maintain comfortable vision during computer, tablet, and smartphone use for work or leisure activities.
Sunglasses
We offer sunglasses with UV protection to safeguard eye health and enhance outdoor vision. Our selection includes prescription and non-prescription options with various lens tints and frame styles. Proper sunglasses help prevent photokeratitis while improving visual comfort in bright conditions for all ages.

Report
The doctors and staff at Newton Vision Center are friendly, courteous and very respectful. The doctors, Dr. Rick Davis, Dr Kulesia, Dr. Matthew Davis and Dr. Hefner are top notch in their field. They are always on top of what is going on and they have a genuine concern for their patients and are a good Christian group of people. I think you will agree that we all have occasionally found problems or issues with various businesses or products that we purchase at one time or another, however, I think that if you should happen to encounter any problems as a patient or have issues with glasses or contacts, that you will find that Newton Vision Center will correct the problem and make it right. They will always treat you with dignity and respect that you deserve. You will find that the doctors and staff there are always professional in all that they do.

I brought a client for an appointment today and was met by the rudest receptionist I've ever experienced. She made my client nervous because she was late for an appointment, that she had already call ahead about. My client has mental health issues and a professional receptionist would have handled patients more appropriately. You never know what someone is going through so you should always be mindful when dealing with the public. I would recommend sensitivity training for your employees.

I spent over $500 on a pair of eyeglasses here and over the course of about 10 months had to take them back 5 times because the lenses kept popping out. I asked if I was to get a different frame if they would credit me for the obviously defective frames that I have and I was told that they would not give me any kind of credit. I think they should honor the products they sell. I will spend my money somewhere else next time.

Report
A lot of "required" upcharges. After routine exam, was told that contact fitting would cost almost $100 outside of insurance because of unnecessary upcharges that are specific to this office. Employees and Dr Davis were very rude when I expressed concern over the cost of all the additional"procedures". After wasting an hour and a half I walked out.
