Contact Lens Fitting
We specialize in custom contact lens fittings, including scleral lenses for keratoconus, dry eye, and post-surgical patients. Our expertise extends to gas permeable and soft lenses for astigmatism, myopia control, and bifocal needs. Advanced designs ensure comfort and clarity for even the most complex prescriptions.
Optomap Retinal Exam
Our Optomap Retinal Exam provides a comprehensive digital image of the retina without dilation. This non-invasive technology detects early signs of diabetes, hypertension, macular degeneration, and neurological conditions, enabling proactive management of ocular and systemic health through longitudinal tracking.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer advanced therapies for dry eye disease, including prescription medications (Restasis, Xiidra), punctal plugs, and lid treatments. Tailored solutions address environmental, systemic, and medication-related causes, improving comfort and visual stability for patients with chronic symptoms.
Keratoconus Management
Dr. Plank specializes in keratoconus treatment with customized scleral lenses and collaboration on cross-linking surgery. Our approach combines specialized contact lenses, corneal reshaping, and surgical referrals to preserve vision and slow disease progression for long-term eye health.
Pediatric Eye Care
We provide comprehensive exams for children as young as six months, utilizing computerized equipment to assess developmental vision needs. Services include myopia control strategies and early detection of amblyopia, ensuring optimal visual development for academic and athletic performance.

I am very pleased with the professionalism of Dr. Plank. He takes the time to perform a thorough examination and answer all the questions you may have. I've been to Optometrists that seem courteous, but leave you with the impression that they just want to sell you new glasses or contacts. Dr. Plank will sell you glasses if you need them, but his focus is the health of your eyes and making sure you understand any changes your eyes may be going through. I have only been going to Dr. Plank for a few years now, but my wife and kids have been going there for twenty plus years and they too have been very pleased with the care.

Do not go here. The staff was judgemental and unkind. I had issues with my prescription, and was told that they couldn't measure a higher power than the one I was given, even though a friend of mine goes there and their prescription is 2x as strong as mine. That just doesn't make sense. Lots of back and forth, confusing communication when there should have been no confusion at all. Save your money and go somewhere else.

If you use rigid gas permeable (RGP or hard) contact lenses - this is your very best place in town! Dr. Plank is an expert! I've been wearing RGP for close to 40 years and he got me set up VERY well in bifocal ones (it took me a couple of years to find someone!). He's been doing RGP since optometry school. He and his staff are friendly and helpful - always a pleasure to be in the office.

I have not been to the eye Dr. in 30 years, the office staff was so nice and funny. Dr. Plank explained everything to me! I did have to wait because they had an emergency, but they explained it and I was completely fine waiting.

I had a serious eye infection and my eye doctor wouldn't see me. Dr. Plank got me right in and took excellent care of me. Everyone in this office is extremely helpful and very kind. Needless to say, I switched doctors. I just wish I found Dr. Plank sooner!

This was my first trip to an optometrist and it was fantastic! Yes; Fantastic! From the beginning the staff made me feel comfortable. Cheryl, Brook and Devon in the office are knowledgeable and sassy (in the best way.) They charmed me from the beginning. Dr. Plank took his time with me and explained everything in the process. Did not feel rushed at all. Jen was AMAZING in helping find frames that matched my face shape, complexion, etc. If you need an Optometrist with a great staff, look no further! With service like this, I'll be a patient for life.
