Complete EyeCare Center

Our once-a-year eyewear event is something patients don’t want to miss. Maybe it’s because of the $50 savings, the greatly expanded selection of ultra-fashionable frames, or it could be the door prizes & refreshments!

Stop in  Saturday, March 6th, between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to save $50 on the full line of Kliik “eyewear with an edge,” Fysh “urban cool eyewear,” or Takumi “luxury eyewear with magnetic sunclips”purchased with prescription lenses.

We look forward to seeing you then! (Need an eye exam? Give us a call.)

All summer until RAGBRAI, buy a Rudy Project Sunglass Kit and get a free backpack or duffel, free cycling helmet, free spare lenses, free hat & free T-shirt.  The value of the free gear alone is $250, but you get it all for only $220.  On Fridays we’ll pay the shipping when you wear your official Mt.

“Have a Blast” in Mt. Pleasant when we host RAGBRAI July 24, 2009!

Koali, Oga, Lightec…these frame lines were featured at our annual Fashion EyeWear Event, but are available in our eyewear gallery throughout the year.  By stopping in our office both men and women will find unique, fashionable frame designs inspired by the natural world.  Some even feature real wood components.  (You can view these collections from our Products tab.)

Once again, the Fashion EyeWear Event was held in conjuction with the Mt. Pleasant High School Interact Club’s See-Saw for Sight on May 9, 2009.  Not only did they have fun, students were motivated by the knowledge that their efforts will help restore sight to the blind in India. The volunteers raised over $850 that will be matched several times by Rotary International.  With the matching funds it is projected that their efforts will help another 270 of India’s afflicted, who will regain functional vision for work and daily life after having cataract surgery at a subsidized outreach clinic.

After learning of Rotary’s sight-saving clinic Dr. Olson and his family suggested the first Interact Club See-Saw for Sight event and have helped organize it each year.   Complete EyeCare Center donated food, equipment, and radio time for the See-Saw for Sight event, and HyVee provided hot dogs.  This local event, held annually at Complete EyeCare Center since 2006, has already helped over 1000 people.

Visitors to the dual events in May were offered free hot dogs, popcorn, beverages, and cookies, and twelve were door prize winners.  Be watching for our next special event, to enjoy special savings, prizes and refreshments for yourself!

It’s a sunny day in Mt. Pleasant, at least for now!  During this spring’s activities I’ve been thankful for a good pair of sunglasses, whether I’m driving, doing yard work, or watching a high school tennis match.  What a difference it makes in my comfort and enjoyment!  If you are a contact lens wearer you especially know what I mean.  We keep hearing more and more about the necessity of proper sun protection, for your skin and your eyes.

I’ll let you in on a little known fact.  We have an expanded selection of great sunwear right here in Mt. Pleasant, in our eyewear gallery.  Why not stop in and try some on during your lunch break today?  If you’re interested in prescription sunwear, we have that too.  (In fact, this Saturday you can save $50 on a pair of prescription sunglasses, during our annual Fashion & Eyewear Event!)

Hope you can get outside and enjoy the weather!

You’re invited to help protect your baby’s eyes with a no-cost eye assessment.

Governor Chet Culver has declared InfantSEE Week as Monday, March 23 - Friday, March 27, 2009.  If your infant is six to twelve months old, this is the perfect time to schedule an InfantSEE eye assessment with Dr. Olson–at no cost.  

“I encourage parents across Iowa to take advantage of the InfantSEE® program,” said Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-IA).  “… I applaud our local optometrists for providing free InfantSEE® assessments, and encourage families to take advantage of this useful service.”

Thanks to all of you, our patients and friends who have placed their confidence in us.  We consider it a privilege to serve you and help with all of your eye health care needs.  We know we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you!  Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Mount Pleasant High School students recently paired up in a relay to keep two see-saws active for five hours, motivated by the knowledge that their efforts will help restore sight to the blind in India.  A MPCHS Interact Club service event, See-Saw for Sight was held May 17, 2008, at Complete EyeCare Center, in downtown Mt. Pleasant.  Cataracts are a severe problem in India, where Rotary Club International is working to assist the needy.  Cataract surgery can be done for $50 at a subsidized outreach clinic there, so each participant was challenged to raise at least that amount before the Saturday event.  Rotary, Interact’s parent organization, matches the funds students raise at the local to international level, multiplying its impact as much as eight times.  This local event, held annually since 2006, has already resulted in assistance to over 500 people.

See-Saw for Sight was held in conjunction with Complete EyeCare Center’s annual Fashion Eyewear Event.  Visitors to the dual events were offered free hot dogs, popcorn, beverages, cookies, and were eligible for an array of door prizes.  Local optometrist, Dr. Christopher Olson, and his daughters, Ashley and Nicole, have spearheaded the Interact Club’s See-Saw for Sight event each year after learning of Rotary’s sight-saving efforts from the Interact Club’s advisor, Mr. Cal Litwiller.  In 2005, Litwiller traveled to India and was impressed by the needs there, as well as the impact cataract surgery could make on an individual’s life and livelihood.  Olson’s practice, Complete EyeCare Center, and Dave’s Foods, donated food and equipment for the club’s 2008 event.  The participation of Interact members and friends, along with the support of this year’s contributors, is projected to aid more than 100 of India’s afflicted, who will regain functional vision for work and daily life.
