Services
Eye and Vision Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision disorders. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect early signs of eye diseases and determine optimal corrective lens prescriptions. The exam includes detailed analysis of eye coordination, depth perception, and intraocular pressure to ensure complete vision health assessment.
Medical Eye Care
We diagnose and manage ocular diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our doctors provide ongoing treatment for chronic eye conditions and monitor patients for medication side effects. The service includes specialized testing for dry eye syndrome and laser treatments for glaucoma management.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Early detection of vision problems in children ensures proper development. We conduct age-appropriate assessments for infants and school-age children, checking for amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors. Our exams follow American Optometric Association guidelines for developmental vision screening and include participation in the InfantSEE program.
Contact Lens Exams
We offer specialized contact lens evaluations for patients with unique vision needs. Our optometrists determine optimal lens materials and prescriptions while assessing eye health for contact wear suitability. The service includes fittings for specialty lenses and guidance for patients with dry eye or astigmatism.
Lasik Eye Surgery
We provide pre-operative screenings and post-operative care for LASIK patients. Our doctors evaluate candidacy for refractive surgery and coordinate care with surgical specialists. The service includes comprehensive corneal mapping and follow-up monitoring to ensure optimal visual outcomes after laser eye surgery.

So I have been waiting for this moment. A few weeks ago I was told I had optic neuritis by these people. Well, let's just say 1 MRI and 2 eye specialist later, I in fact do NOT have optic neuritis. They also didn't even get my eye prescription right. I was walking around with my eye prescription to STRONG for over a month. I have went through so much emotionally because of this wrong diagnosis. I will NEVER refer anyone to this place!

Do not recommend. I took an eye exam and PAID for the glasses I received almost 2 weeks later. The prescription wasnt strong enough. I went up there to get a stronger prescription for glasses and was told "give it a couple days to see if it gets better" even after one of the nurses KNEW the prescription wasnt strong enough. I have called a few times being told I would get a call back and never received one. On top of that they ran uneccisary tests on my eyes trying to play Sherlock Holmes after I told them I had an eye condition. They only did that so they could charge me more money when I only

I would not recommend Heber springs eye Care to anyone!! They are unorganized first of all and they are not helpful whatsoever. Everytime we want to get something done seems like they are too lazy to do anything. I will take my money and business elsewhere and will definitely not be going back.
