Eye Care
From reading important documents to safely navigating North Dakota’s changing weather conditions, clear, healthy vision shapes how you experience the world around you. When your eyesight begins to change or you notice concerning symptoms, finding trusted eye care professionals who understand both the latest advances in vision science and your personal needs becomes essential for protecting one of your most valuable senses.
Vision Source Mandan has been serving the Mandan, Bismarck, and surrounding North Dakota communities since 1950. Our experienced team of optometrists combines the latest technology with personalized care to help you achieve and maintain optimal vision throughout your life. Whether you need a routine eye exam, emergency eye care, or management of complex eye conditions, we provide a detailed range of services tailored to your unique needs.
Our Comprehensive Eye Care Services
According to the American Foundation for the Blind, approximately 52 million American adults currently experience some degree of vision loss, highlighting the widespread need for quality eye care services.
At Vision Source Mandan, our approach to vision care addresses every aspect of your eye health, from preventive care to the management of serious conditions. We perform thorough eye examinations that evaluate not just your vision, but also the overall health of your eyes.
During your comprehensive eye exam, we screen for various eye conditions, including:
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
Cataracts
Early detection of these conditions is crucial for preserving your vision and preventing complications. Our advanced diagnostic equipment allows us to identify problems in their earliest stages, when treatment is most effective.
We also offer specialized services to meet the diverse needs of our community. Our myopia management programs help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and adults. For patients who prefer alternatives to glasses, we offer comprehensive contact lens fittings and ongoing care to ensure optimal comfort and vision.
Emergency Eye Care When You Need It Most
Eye emergencies can crop up at any time, and prompt treatment is often critical for preserving your vision. We understand that conditions like sudden vision loss, foreign objects in the eye, severe pain, or eye injuries require immediate attention. Our team is qualified to manage a wide range of eye emergencies and provide the urgent care you need.
When you experience an eye emergency, time is of the essence. We work to accommodate urgent cases and provide timely care when every minute counts. While we diagnose and treat many eye conditions, we also maintain relationships with trusted ophthalmologists for cases requiring surgical intervention.
Common eye emergencies we treat include:
- Flash burns from welding or bright lights
- Chemical splashes
- Cuts or puncture wounds to the eye
- Sudden changes in vision
- Severe eye infections
- Retinal detachments
- Acute glaucoma attacks
Our team is here to help in any emergency and works to see urgent cases as quickly as possible.
Professional Eye Care Team You Can Trust
Our doctors bring years of experience and advanced training to every patient interaction. Dr. Brittany Schauer, who has served our community since 2012, leads our team with her commitment to excellence in eye care. She works alongside Dr. Wayne Aberle and Dr. Danielle Dyke to provide comprehensive services for patients of all ages.
Our team approach ensures you receive thorough, personalized care. We take time to understand your lifestyle, visual needs, and health concerns to develop treatment plans that work best for you. Many of our patients have trusted us with their eye care for generations, a testament to our devotion to building lasting relationships with the families we serve.
Dr. Schauer serves on the North Dakota Optometric Association board and as Co-Administrator for the Vision Source Network for North Dakota, bringing additional experience and professional connections to our practice. This involvement keeps our team current with the latest developments in eye care, ensuring that our patients benefit from the most innovative treatment options available.
Advanced Vision Correction and Treatment Options
Vision correction is a staple service we provide for our North Dakota patients. Before recommending any treatment, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best approach for your specific situation, whether you need glasses, contact lenses, or specialized treatments for eye conditions.
Our selection of lenses and frames includes options for every lifestyle and budget. We help you choose eyewear that not only corrects your vision effectively but also complements your personal style and meets your daily activity requirements. From progressive lenses for presbyopia to specialized computer glasses for digital eye strain, we have solutions for modern vision challenges.
For patients with specific eye conditions, we offer targeted treatments and management strategies. Our approach to treating conditions like dry eye, allergies, and infections focuses on both immediate relief and long-term management. We also provide pre- and post-operative care for patients who require surgical procedures, coordinating with trusted specialists to ensure optimal outcomes.
What to Expect During Your Visit
We suggest bringing a current list of medications, your insurance information, and any previous eye care records to your appointment. Our staff will assist you in completing the necessary paperwork and address any questions you may have about our services.
During your examination, we will conduct a range of tests to measure your vision and eye health. These may include visual acuity tests, refraction measurements, eye pressure checks, and dilated eye examinations.
