Vision Exams
Our comprehensive vision exams use advanced technology to assess eye health and prescribe accurate corrective solutions. We prioritize patient education, explaining findings clearly and creating personalized plans to maintain optimal vision. This service caters to individuals seeking reliable eye health evaluations.
Scleral Lenses
Custom-fit scleral lenses address conditions like keratoconus and post-surgical vision challenges. Our expertise in corneal-scleral topography ensures precise lens design for maximum comfort and visual clarity. Patients benefit from our status as a scleral lens Center of Excellence.
Myopia Management
This program targets childhood myopia progression through education, treatment, and follow-ups. Early intervention reduces risks of retinal complications later in life. We combine research-backed therapies with family-centered care to slow vision deterioration effectively.

We fit standard and specialty contact lenses, including astigmatism, bifocal, and rigid gas permeable options. Each fitting includes a glasses prescription for backup use. Our approach ensures comfortable, accurate vision correction tailored to individual eye shapes.
Pediatric Exams
Designed to make children comfortable, these exams use playful techniques for accurate results. We assess visual development and prescribe corrective solutions while creating a welcoming environment that reduces pediatric anxiety during eye care visits.

Dr. Shin is very thorough. Takes time to tell you all that is going on with your eyes. He doesn't seem rushed at all. The staff aren't pushy about selling things either. Great experience all around

My eye doctor retired and referred me to Gig Harbor Eye Care. I was able to get in the same day that I called on a cancellation, and they were very professional and efficient.
Dr. Gosnell performed a thorough exam after her staff did baseline tests. Dr G answered all my questions and gave me some excellent recommendations. I am very impressed with the level of excellence at their facility and would highly recommend them.

The facility is very friendly. I would have appreciated being notified prior to the visit that I would be seeing a different doctor than the one I booked with and more importantly, that you did not receive any images from my previous provider to be able to evaluate the changes. Without the ability to evaluate changes, I would have chosen to reschedule the visit and feel like it was not a good use of our time and money.

I cant say enough good things about this eye care practice. Both doctors and staff are kind, caring, and professional. Youll find they utilize the most state of the art equipment to test and evaluate your vision and any issues you might be experiencing. I would not go anywhere else and have referred everyone I know to Gig Harbor Eye Care!
