It’s easy to put off an eye exam, but regular visits to your optometrist are essential for maintaining lifelong eye health. Whether it’s your child’s first check-up or you’re managing diabetes-related vision changes, we offer complete eye exams for all ages—and we make it simple.

Our in-house optometrist, Dr. Shawn Ricker, uses computerized vision testing and in-depth evaluations to detect even the earliest signs of trouble. He’s been helping patients see clearly since graduating from the Southern College of Optometry in 1997.

    I had an eye exam at the Lavale Walmart and didn't trust that the optometrist there had any idea what he was doing. I scheduled another exam with Dr. Ricker and he performed a good and professional exam and got my prescription right (the Walmart optometrist had previously screwed that up). If you're around Cumberland-Frostburg, this is the place to go.

    I love unique lenses and this place has the MOST STYLISH glasses of any optical facility I’ve ever been. I just popped in to look around and the staff was so nice, and the office seemed really popular as there were plenty of folks inside. Hopefully I can make an appointment with them soon 🤓 …
