About Us
At Pierce Vision Specialists, we strive to meet the needs of your entire family. We see all ages for eye examinations and a variety of other services, including:
• Ocular disease diagnosis and treatment including emergencies and infections
• Pediatric optometry-including exams on infants
• Diagnosis, treatment and management of learning-related vision problems
• Dry eye treatment
• Vision therapy
• Low vision examinations including special ophthalmic correction options

We are a family-friendly office with room for children to play in our fun and inviting kids' area. Our vision therapy room is spacious--large enough to offer a wide variety of vision training devices, but also perfect for the one-on-one attention our vision therapists provide our patients. We have an extensive optical showroom with a large selection of eyewear, including frames for all face shapes and sizes.
Our opticians have a vast knowledge of frame and lens options and technology to ensure our patient's vision needs are fully addressed.
We have recently moved to our brand-new building custom designed for efficiency, service and convenience at 3626 South Avenue in Springfield. We are located directly behind the Kickapoo Corners Shopping Center that is located on South Campbell.
