Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:00:18 +0000

Complete EyeCare Center was voted Best Vision Store in Henry County.

Thank you, neighbors, for honoring Complete EyeCare Center as the “Best Vision Store” in Henry County! This distinction is the result of a survey of Mt. Pleasant News readers done in November 2011. We are so thankful for the encouragement. It inspires us to keep improving so we can serve you even better in 2012!

Instant Savings on Glasses and Exams Here

A round trip from Mt. Pleasant to Coral Ridge Mall costs $58.17 in gas and vehicle wear-and-tear. This according to the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber Alliance and the “Look Local First” campaign.* I don’t know about you, but that makes me stop and think. And it should!

Complete EyeCare Center and Dr. Olson encourage you to Look Local First

There’s no need to travel to find a high level of eye health care teamed with cutting-edge products. They are right here in our local community. The expertise and selection that is often only available in a larger city has been brought to you, our neighbors. In fact, Mt. Pleasant’s Complete EyeCare Center has actually been ahead of the curve in many cases.

Mt. Pleasant had the first Optomap Retinal Imaging technology in the entire state of Iowa–at Complete EyeCare Center.

Mt. Pleasant had the first Z-view Corneal Aberrometer in the state of Iowa–at Complete EyeCare Center.

Mt. Pleasant led Iowa, being the first to offer patients iZon high definition lenses–at Complete EyeCare Center. (We have patients that travel from Waterloo, Muscatine, Des Moines, and cities in Illinois to come HERE for this unique, customized lens!)

Mt. Pleasant had a Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomographer before the University of Iowa–at Complete EyeCare Center!

Mt. Pleasant led our state as one of the first to quantify macular degeneration risk with its ZeaVision macular pigment optical density instrument–at Complete EyeCare Center!

Mt. Pleasant is home to one of only 50 eye doctors in United States that had initial access to a brand new hybrid multifocal contact lens–it’s Dr. Christopher Olson.

If you were considering traveling for your eyecare, glasses, contacts, or sunglasses, think again. By looking local you may be better off in many ways. Just foregoing the drive is like getting instant savings of $58.17 on your glasses and exams!

*According to the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber Alliance the “Look Local First” campaign was started ”to change buying habits and unite our community by merging our greatest resources: local customers and local small businesses.”

Thinking Bigger–World Sight Day Challenge

Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 02:29:22 +0000

Having visited our practice you know that we care about our patients and about protecting your vision. We are also concerned about people around the world who lack access to vision care. Because of this, Complete EyeCare Center is participating in the World Sight Day Challenge.

The World Sight Day Challenge is a campaign coordinated by Optometry Giving Sight to raise funds for projects that provide vision care, local training and infrastructure support for people who are blind or vision impaired due to uncorrected refractive error – simply the need for an eye exam and a pair of glasses.

Our practice will raise funds for the World Sight Day Challenge by matching the first $500 donated to this cause throughout the month of October.

Please join us in helping to give sight to people in need by making a donation of any amount. It’s easy to do. Just stop in our office, or donate online by clicking here. Sponsor Us

Together we can help transform lives. Here’s just one example:

Nlando was helped by Optometry Giving Sight

9 year old Nlando lives in a township in South Africa where the average family income is just $7 per day. Nlando struggled to see clearly until she received an eye exam and pair of glasses thanks to the support of Optometry Giving Sight. Having new glasses will enable her to learn at school. Because education can lead to freeedom from poverty, her future is likely to be much brighter.

Find out more about Optometry Giving Sight’s World Sight Day Challenge at www.givingsight.org. (You can see a video of a young man who had spent years in a school for the blind, and is now studying engineering in a regular school because his vision problem was corrected by a pair of glasses!)

Sports Eyewear Protects and Performs

Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:08:51 +0000

Did you know?

Eye protection should be a major concern to all athletes

Approximately 72 percent of sports-related eye injuries occur in people younger than 25 years and approximately 43 percent occur in children younger than 15 years. (Source American Optometric Association.)

Nearly all of these injuries could have been avoided with proper eye protection. At age 23 I learned this lesson first-hand during a game of racquetball. After a trip to the emergency room and several stitches, we purchased sport goggles and have been advocates for protective eyewear ever since.

In outdoor sports, a laceration or poke to the eye isn’t the only thing we need protection from. Ultraviolet light exposure can also cause damage.

When properly prescribed, protective sports eyewear can actually enhance your athletic performance! So if you or a family member would like to return that volley better, improve a golf score, bag illusive fish & game, and be protected whatever the sport, talk to Dr. Olson about sports eyewear. Spring is here, along with a host of sports activities, so call Complete EyeCare Center today to schedule an appointment (319.385.9534).

From Edgy Urban Cool to Luxury – Frame Event Savings Are For All

Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:00:39 +0000

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.)

How You Can Save 50% On Eyewear

Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:00:57 +0000

Most of us are trying to get the most value for our dollar these days. That’s why we want to make sure you know about our Second Pair Savings. You’re entitled to 50% off your second pair of prescription eyewear when it’s purchased on the same day. Not quite ready yet? We also offer 20% savings if the second pair is ordered within 90 days of your initial prescription eyewear purchase.

With all the great frame styles and lens options available, this gives you the option of having more than one pair of glasses–perhaps one for work and another for weekends, one more dressy and the other funky, one rimless with another in colorful plastic, one pair with Transitions changeable lenses and the other without, one for everyday use and the other for enjoying a special hobby, like sewing, reading, or playing piano, more comfortably. The options are endless. Patients also find this is a great way to get a pair of prescription sunglasses or computer glasses.

You may be wondering if this is a limited time offer. We’re happy to say we’ve given our patients this option for years, because we pass savings we receive from our optical lab on to you.

Save 50% on a second pair, every day, when you purchase your prescription eyewear at Complete EyeCare Center. Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase “think twice!” You can explore some of your options right now by going to our products page to see our frame collections.

The Buzz About Koali Frames

Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 11:00:51 +0000

A significant number of visitors to our website find us from across the country because they are interested in Koali frames. They recognize excellent quality and design when they see it! We are currently working on a way to help serve those people who cannot visit our southeast Iowa office in person.

Koali designers are inspired by nature and their frames reflect the same organic, attractive lines–with names like Ginkgo, Begonia, and Fern. If you haven’t seen this frame collection, stop in and try them on for yourself at our downtown Mt. Pleasant office. You can also view images of them here.

Koali fans, did you know that there is a men’s line made by the same company called Öga? Öga, designed in Sweden, is inspired by contemporary architectural design. The collection is described as modern, geometric, and aesthetic. Some feature synthetic glass or wooden temples with mahogany, ebony, and oak tones. (Dr. Olson has two Öga frames himself.)

For those of you looking for modern drill mount or rimless frames with the same quality and production standards as Koali and Öga, you owe it to yourself to check out the Lightec frame collection. Made of surgical grade stainless steel they feature Alpha spring and screw free hinge systems. Lightec has light, contemporary frames for both men and women.

Our Eyewear Consultant will be glad to answer any questions you have about frames and lenses. Call our office at 319.385.9534 or stop in at Complete EyeCare Center today.
