Alas, our vision tends to change as we transition into our later years. That’s why it’s crucial to schedule an annual eye exam with a skilled licensed optometrist to check for threats to our vision.
Your WeCare partners will make sure you leave our offices with a comprehensive eyecare plan, so you can enjoy your golden years in optimal health and with peace of mind.

Our optometrists will conduct vision assessments using a standard lettered eye chart.
Our optometrists will check for refractive errors —like myopia and hyperopia — to determine the cause of blurry vision.
We’ll run an optical coherence tomography (OCT) test and take pictures of your eye and/or give you eye drops to assess for dry and wet AMD.

“I brought my mom here for an urgent visit. She had a vitreous detachment. They got us in within an hour, were super friendly, and the doctor was extremely thorough and explained everything really well. While we weren’t there for glasses, my whole family plans on making appointments for regular eye care here. They had a really unique stock of glasses and sunglasses.”

“Honestly, this was the single best eye appointment I’ve ever had. I wore glasses as a kid, hated it, and avoided the eye doc as an adult. At College Hill, I felt like I was the only human on earth that mattered to them. My doc explained the process along the way. I’d recommend him and the practice to everyone! It was a real “human” experience. I’m grateful for that.”

“They were simply the kindest. I had a friend who came over from overseas, and her glasses broke — it was missing a small screw. They were very efficient and kind, and we were very satisfied with the experience. I definitely recommended this place to my friends and neighbors. If you’re looking for a good optics place in PVD, this is it!:)”

“I have been going to this place since I was a child and returned as an adult. The experience was even better than I could remember. I enjoyed the new technology and fast service. The ladies are very helpful. I got my glasses in my fast and they were able to modify my fitting. I love my new glasses. I can see so much better. Thank you all for your help!”
