Services
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Our detailed eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and functional vision skills. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we detect vision problems and eye diseases while evaluating how well your eyes work together. Ideal for patients of all ages seeking accurate prescriptions and preventive eye care.
Vision Therapy
Customized programs improve visual efficiency through targeted exercises and specialized equipment. We treat conditions like convergence insufficiency, eye tracking problems, and visual processing disorders using evidence-based techniques including Vivid Vision virtual reality therapy to enhance brain-eye coordination for better learning and performance.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced diagnostics identify dry eye causes through tear film analysis and gland function testing. Treatment options include specialized drops, lid hygiene protocols, and in-office procedures to improve tear production and ocular surface health, providing lasting relief from discomfort and visual disturbances.
Myopia Management
Proactive treatment plans slow childhood myopia progression using orthokeratology, multifocal contact lenses, and atropine therapy. Regular monitoring helps reduce long-term risks of severe eye diseases associated with high myopia while maintaining clear vision during critical developmental years.
Neuro-Optometry
Specialized rehabilitation addresses vision problems from neurological conditions or traumatic brain injuries. Custom treatment plans incorporate therapeutic lenses, prisms, and visual exercises to restore functional vision, alleviate symptoms like double vision, and improve spatial orientation and visual processing abilities.

I've been going to Coleman Vision Center for several years. The service is exemplary and professional and they practice something there I've yet to see much of elsewhere - And that's empathy. I highly recommend them for all of your vision needs.

We were on vacation from Kansas city and called Coleman Vision for an emergency visit because my wife was having some eye pain! They fit her in with an afternoon appointment. The staff there and the Doctor are very friendly and prompt and took care of my wife's issue! Also loved to find out that it is a Christian atmosphere. Prayer was answered!

It is the best place to go for eye care..All my children and myself have been seeing them for almost 5 years now. My Lil one ((4 1/2 months) was having issues with his eyes that his pediatrician wouldn't address and Dr. Coleman took care of it immediately and confirmed what I knew. Every single person in that office is awesome!! I highly recommend!!

We took our 8 year old daughter to Coleman when she was having issues in school. We knew she was smart, and couldnt understand why she was having so many problems. We learned she had a visual processing issue and had constricted peripheral vision. When she began Vision Therapy, she was reading at a zero level due to the errors her vision deficiencies were causing. Upon graduating from therapy, she was reading at a FOURTH grade level!! We have seen a huge improvement in her confidence, her school performance, interaction in the classroom, and especially in math. She also now loves to read!! Miss
