Hebron
When it’s difficult to find an eye doctor close to home, you shouldn’t have to wait weeks for an appointment or settle for limited services. Rural communities throughout southwestern North Dakota face these challenges regularly, making comprehensive, accessible eye care more important than ever.
Vision Source Mandan has proudly served Hebron residents and families from throughout Morton County since 1950. Located just 30 miles from Hebron in Mandan, our practice offers the full spectrum of eye care services you need without requiring travel to larger metropolitan areas. Dr. Brittany Schauer, Dr. Wayne Aberle, and Dr. Danielle Dyke combine decades of experience with advanced diagnostic technology to deliver exceptional vision care for patients of all ages.
Comprehensive Eye Care Services for Hebron Families
Rural healthcare access means having a trusted provider who can handle everything from routine checkups to urgent eye conditions. Our optometrists provide complete family eye care, examining patients from six months old through their senior years. Whether you need your annual eye exam, contact lens fitting, or treatment for an eye condition, our team delivers personalized care in a welcoming environment.
Emergency Eye Care When You Need It Most
Eye emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. When you experience sudden vision changes, eye pain, or injury, having access to same-day care can make the difference in protecting your sight. Vision Source Mandan provides urgent eye care for conditions that require immediate attention, helping Hebron residents avoid long waits at emergency rooms that often lack the specialized equipment needed to properly diagnose and treat eye conditions. Our doctors handle issues like foreign objects in the eye, sudden vision loss, eye infections, chemical exposures, and trauma from work or sports injuries.
Specialized Services for Growing Eyes
Myopia management has become increasingly important as nearsightedness rates continue rising in children. Our practice offers evidence-based treatments to slow myopia progression, helping protect your child’s long-term vision health. Dr. Schauer and Dr. Dyke have extensive experience in pediatric eye care, making visits comfortable for even the youngest patients while ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
Advanced Contact Lens Fittings
Finding the right contact lenses requires expertise, especially for patients with astigmatism, dry eyes, or other conditions that make fitting more complex. Dr. Aberle specializes in contact lens care and can fit even challenging prescriptions. We work with all major lens manufacturers and insurance providers, including VSP and EyeMed, to help you access the vision correction you need at a price that works for your budget.
Expert Diagnosis and Management of Eye Conditions
Many eye conditions require ongoing monitoring and treatment to preserve your vision. Our optometrists diagnose and manage:
- Glaucoma: Regular pressure checks and treatment to prevent vision loss
- Macular degeneration: Monitoring and management strategies to slow progression
- Diabetic retinopathy: Comprehensive diabetic eye exams to catch changes early
- Dry eye disease: Treatment options beyond simple artificial tears
- Cataracts: Evaluation and surgical referrals when needed
Our practice maintains relationships with retinal specialists throughout the region, ensuring you receive coordinated care when surgical intervention becomes necessary. We handle the initial diagnosis and ongoing monitoring while connecting you with the right specialists for procedures we don’t perform in-office.
Why Hebron Residents Choose Vision Source Mandan
Distance matters less when you’re working with a practice that respects your time and provides comprehensive care in one location. Hebron families choose our practice because we understand rural healthcare needs. Our patients routinely travel 30 miles or more because they value having all their eye care services available under one roof. We’ve built our reputation on quality care, advanced technology, and genuine relationships with the communities we serve.
Convenient Location on Highway 1806
Our Mandan office sits easily accessible from Hebron via Highway 1806, making the 30-mile trip straightforward regardless of weather conditions. The drive takes approximately 30 minutes under normal conditions, and our flexible scheduling helps accommodate your travel time. Many Hebron families combine their eye appointments with other errands in the Mandan-Bismarck area, making efficient use of their trip.
Comprehensive Care for Every Generation
Eye care needs to change throughout your lifetime. Children require different assessments than teenagers, and adults face different challenges than seniors. Our three-doctor team ensures we can address every stage of vision care:
Dr. Danielle Dyke brings specialized training in pediatric vision care and comprehensive family services. As a Bismarck native and University of North Dakota graduate, she understands the unique needs of North Dakota families and maintains active involvement in the North Dakota Optometric Association.
Dr. Wayne Aberle focuses on contact lenses, urgent care, and diabetic eye exams. Originally from Herreid, South Dakota, he returned to the region after gaining experience in larger metropolitan areas because he’s committed to serving rural communities that need comprehensive eye care close to home.

Raised near Streeter, North Dakota, she joined our practice in 2012 and now serves on the North Dakota Optometric Association board while co-administering the Vision Source Network for North Dakota.
