Understanding Vision

Pediatrics

Eye care for children is much different from that of an adult and even drastically different than that of a senior adult. A child’s ability to see develops rapidly in the first months of life.

Teens

If you are a teenager you will be experiencing your own unique visual issues. The teen years often bring about the first signs of inability to see at distances.

Adults

In your adult years you’ve most likely have learned to deal with your glasses or contact lenses in order to see. Eye care in adults is important in that as our eyes age or vision often worsens.

Seniors

By age 65, 1-in-3 Americans have some form of vision-impairing eye disease. It’s vital that seniors get regular eye exams to check for vision conditions that can lead to partial or permanent vision loss.

Very knowledgeable and detail oriented Eye doctors. Nice and courteous staff. Super glasses selection assistants. My only note would be that if you want to buy a second pair of eyeglasses, out of pocket, a significant discount for an identical pair would be a great buisness enhancement.

My kids and I have gone here since moving to Rapid City 6 years ago. We have seen multiple providers and have always felt the customer service is top notch. They have been above and beyond accommodating in emergency situations and are always prompt with responses. Hands down, best eye clinic we’ve ever been to.

I have 3 generations of women who visit this eye care centre. All the years we have been going there we have never had an issue, the staff and doctors are all kind and knowledgeable, great selection of glasses and my granddaughter loves the animal balloons. It would be nice if all businesses were ran as well as this one. Kudos to all who work there. Job very well done.

Got referred here by Custer Urgent Care while on vacation. We had no history and they know they won’t see me again. They worked me into their schedule within 3 hours of leaving the hospital. Received awesome care from Dr Holec and a first thing follow up to make sure the meds were working. Would refer my mother here if possible. Thanks for keeping my vacation rolling Dr. Holec! I appreciate everything!

I was diagnosed with Myopic macular degeneration 7 years ago. I can’t imagine navigating treatment plans and options without Dr. Tucker. He is more than just a good doctor, he is a good person. I trust my entire family’s eye health to him.

After my mother in law recommended I see who she would go to for eye exams I never went to anyone else. Dr. Tucker also now sees both my daughters aged 6 and 10 and they cooperate perfectly with him because he is great with kids and you should see his balloon animal talents too. As for the selection in frames and lenses I feel they cannot be beat in price and customer service.

Great office. Easy to schedule my appointment, appreciated the text reminder and kind courteous staff. Helped our 12 year old adjust to contacts and glasses as well as myself. Great selection of frames and very knowledgeable helpful staff.

As a college student, I didn't have my primary eye doctor available. I was so relieved when I found them and they took care of me like I've been their client forever! They did a great job and made me feel at home. I also loved their large selection of glasses making finding a new pair a piece of cake!
