Our local Mandan eye care practice prioritizes your eye health and visual clarity with compassionate, patient-centered care.

Before recommending any option, we conduct comprehensive eye examinations to assess your visual acuity, eye health, and specific correction needs. This detailed approach ensures you receive the most effective treatment plan for long-lasting results.
LASIK Eye Surgery: Your Path to Freedom from Glasses
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a revolutionary surgical procedure that reshapes your cornea using advanced laser technology. This popular vision correction option has helped millions of patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses, offering life-changing results for those with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
While LASIK has transformed countless lives, we recognize it is not suitable for everyone. Our Vision Source Mandan eye doctors conduct thorough evaluations to determine if you are an ideal candidate. Factors like corneal thickness, prescription stability, and overall eye health play crucial roles in this decision. During your consultation, we explain the procedure in detail, discuss potential outcomes, and address any questions or concerns you might have about LASIK.
If LASIK is right for you, we coordinate with trusted surgical partners while providing comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care. Our doctors monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal results. Many patients experience improved vision within 24 hours after surgery, with vision continuing to stabilize over the following weeks.
Cataract Surgery: Restoring Clarity to Cloudy Vision
Are cataracts affecting your quality of life? As we age, the natural lens in our eyes can become cloudy, causing blurred vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty with night driving. Cataract surgery is a remarkably effective solution that removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). With North Dakota’s aging population, cataract surgeries have become increasingly common, offering newfound visual clarity to many in our community.
The procedure itself typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and comfortable the process is. Your Vision Source Mandan optometrist helps determine when your eyes are ready for cataract surgery and which type of intraocular implant would best suit your vision needs and lifestyle. Today’s advanced IOL options can correct various vision issues simultaneously, potentially reducing your dependence on glasses after surgery.
Following cataract surgery, our eye doctors provide essential post-operative care to monitor healing and optimize your visual outcome. Many patients experience significantly improved distance vision without glasses after their procedure. We work closely with you throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final follow-up, ensuring you receive personalized attention every step of the way.
Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses
For many patients, eyeglasses and contact lenses remain the preferred vision correction method. Our optical department offers a wide selection of frames and lenses to match every style and budget. Whether you need single vision lenses, bifocals, progressives, or specialty lenses for computer work, we help you find the perfect solution.
Dr. Wayne Aberle has a particular focus on contact lens fittings, ensuring you receive lenses that provide optimal comfort and vision. We fit all types of contact lenses, including daily disposables, extended wear, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal contacts for presbyopia. Our team takes the time to ensure proper fit and teach you the best care practices for healthy contact lens wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vision Correction
What vision correction options are available for people who aren't candidates for LASIK?
How do I know if I need cataract surgery?
Will my insurance cover vision correction procedures?
Insurance coverage varies widely for different vision correction procedures. While LASIK is typically considered elective and not covered by insurance, cataract surgery is often covered when deemed medically necessary. Our staff can help verify your benefits and explain potential out-of-pocket costs before proceeding with any procedure.
How long is the recovery period after vision correction surgery?
Recovery times vary depending on the specific procedure. LASIK patients often experience improved vision within 24-48 hours, though complete healing takes several weeks. Cataract surgery patients typically notice better vision within a few days, with full recovery in about a month. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Can vision correction surgery eliminate my need for reading glasses as I age?
Vision correction surgeries like LASIK primarily correct distance vision but don’t prevent presbyopia—the age-related need for reading glasses. However, certain cataract lens implants (multifocal or accommodating IOLs) can provide both distance and near vision correction. Our doctors can discuss which options might help reduce your dependence on reading glasses.
