Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess vision health and detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and presbyopia. Using advanced diagnostic tools, our optometrist evaluates visual acuity, eye coordination, and overall eye health. These exams ensure accurate prescriptions and early intervention for potential issues.
Contact Lenses
We offer custom contact lens fittings for standard and hard-to-fit prescriptions. Our optometrist determines the ideal lens type, including daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal options. Trial lenses and follow-up appointments ensure comfort and clarity.
Eyeglasses
Our optical boutique features designer frames from Ralph Lauren, Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Silhouette. Expert opticians help patients select frames based on face shape, lifestyle, and prescription needs. We provide high-quality lenses with anti-glare and blue light filtering options.

First and last time Thank you Sue for your awful customer service. My advice if you are black go somewhere else. The only thing good about this place was the eye exam.

We took our friend there, who is color blind, to get the Enchroma glasses and the service was phenomenal! Jessica took great care of us and the owner even came by to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend them!

I loved the doctor. He shared things about my eyes that no one has ever told me. He was very good. The other people have always been very good with anything I need. I have been going here ever since I have been wearing glasses. They are hard to beat. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Great staff and customer service. Went there for assistance with the fit of my Silhouette glasses. They took the time to get the glasses to fit properly and made sure I was happy. I highly recommend Wilkins Opticians. I will use them for my optical needs in the future.
