Adult Eye Exams
Our comprehensive adult eye exams assess vision acuity, eye health, and potential diseases like glaucoma or cataracts. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of conditions that may impact long-term ocular health. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical interventions based on their lifestyle and visual demands.
Children's Eye Exams
Specialized exams for children ensure proper visual development and academic performance. We evaluate eye coordination, focusing ability, and screen for common childhood vision issues. Early intervention helps prevent learning difficulties related to undiagnosed vision problems.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer customized contact lens fittings for standard and specialty prescriptions, including astigmatism and multifocal needs. Our certified opticians ensure optimal comfort and vision correction through precise measurements and follow-up adjustments.
Emergency Eye Care
Our emergency eye care addresses sudden vision changes, eye injuries, or severe discomfort. With same-day availability, we provide immediate treatment for conditions like foreign body removal, chemical exposure, or acute infections.
In-House Eyewear Production
Our on-site lab expedites eyeglass manufacturing, often completing orders within 24 hours. This allows for faster turnaround on prescriptions while maintaining quality control over lens accuracy and frame adjustments.

This is hands down the best optometrist and staff I have ever encountered. They are professional, friendly, and thorough. Dr. Goodhue is incredible. I had questions for the doctor two different times and he called me back and helped me over the phone. I highly recommend this place

Optical Eyeland is great! I came in to receive an eye exam, and found out my eyes certainly needed some correction. Kevin Goodhue informed me that I had an astigmatism and so he prescribed me some lenses. Within a matter of one day they had my prescription lenses cut for the frames I brought in. When I put the glasses on, I could not believe how clear my distant vision was. The only issue I found out later was that I could not see well up close. This was my fault, seeing how this was a new experience for me. However, this became no issue at all, for I went back in for a follow up appointment and

I received the best customer service from Julie and Brian of Optical Eyeland and their staff. I asked for a silhouette frame that they didnt have in stock, they brought it in and worked with me to determine the best size and shape for the lenses. I needed their help as my previous glasses were very heavy and constantly sliding down. My new glasses are light as air and came in quickly
Julie and Brian are pure excellent customer service which as you know is no longer common anymore.
