About Us
It is our mission to provide the highest quality vision care to our patients and community. We pride ourselves on the training on our staff and the use of technology to help protect your vision. We know how much your eye health and appearance can mean to the quality of your life. We are committed to excellence in servicing your complete eye care needs.
We are not only concerned with what you see, but also how you efficiently process what you see. Vision is more than if you need glasses, contacts or if you see 20/20. In fact, most people with visual efficiency problems have 20/20 eyesight! That is why we treat the whole person, looking at how the visual system functions and emphasizing prevention, education and remediation.
We have a multidisciplinary philosophy and welcome collaboration with educators and other health professionals (school nurses, occupational, physical and speech/language therapists, physicians, pediatricians, etc.) in order to provide the best care your family deserves.
Bright Eyes Vision Clinic is a full service eye and vision care provider and will take both eye emergencies as well as scheduled appointments. Patients throughout Minnesota come to Bright Eyes Vision Clinic because they know they will receive the personal, professional attention and care.
All of our doctors have residency/fellowship training in pediatric optometry, vision therapy and neuro-rehabilitation.
