Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision disorders using advanced diagnostic technology. These evaluations include glaucoma screening, retinal imaging, and personalized vision correction recommendations. Our optometrists perform detailed assessments of eye coordination, focusing ability, and overall ocular health to ensure accurate prescriptions and early detection of potential eye conditions.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide specialized contact lens fittings for various vision needs including astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia management. Our optometrists conduct detailed corneal measurements and tear film evaluations to ensure optimal lens comfort and vision correction. We offer trial lenses and follow-up assessments to guarantee proper adaptation to contact lens wear.
Myopia Management
Our evidence-based myopia control program combines specialized contact lenses, atropine therapy, and regular progress monitoring. This comprehensive approach aims to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and young adults through customized treatment plans. We utilize MiSight lenses and orthokeratology techniques backed by clinical research demonstrating 50% reduction in myopia progression.
Diagnostic Imaging
Advanced diagnostic imaging services include Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optomap retinal scans for detailed eye health assessments. These non-invasive technologies enable early detection of retinal conditions, glaucoma, and other ocular diseases through high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of eye structures.
Eyeglass Selection
Our optical centers offer comprehensive eyeglass services featuring frame selection assistance based on facial geometry and lifestyle needs. We provide guidance on lens materials, coatings, and design options to optimize visual clarity and comfort. Our opticians help patients choose frames that complement their features while ensuring proper fit and long-term wearability.

Overall the staff is nice. However, they nickel and dime you for so many things. PD measurement is another $30. Also, when you mention that you are also going to order additional glasses from an online provider they get snippy. I am about to spend over $300 for 1 pair when I can get 4 for that price online. They were still getting my money. Well so-and-so doesnt measure for this like we do

If you are looking for a new optometrist or wanting to change doctors, Family Eye Clinic & Contact Lens Center-Wayzata is the place for you. Dr. Blaschke is most knowledgeable and thorough and explains everything completely. Our whole family trusts him implicitly with the health of our eyes.

I managed to get in the same day, they called me to schedule within 30 minutes of requesting an appointment online, and I got new contact lenses. Great service, friendly staff, short wait times. The facility is really nice inside, too!
