What Our Patients Are Saying...

Excellent service and fantastic selection for my daughter with Down Syndrome. We suffered with selection at other eyewear locations around town until we finally ran into Bright Eyes. Not only was the service from them terrific but from then on, our daughter has been able to get eyewear that not only fits her unique personality, but helps her see the world as she should despite her special needs.

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Nate and his staff! They do a wonderful job at catering to children, including those who are less than social. Everything was sanitized after use and we felt extremely comfortable with the measures they took to ensure cleanliness. I highly recommend this office and wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for my children’s eye care needs.

Took my 4 year old daughter to get an eye exam because her pediatrician found that she had astigmatism. The staff at Bright Eyes was very patient with my daughter, she was very nervous but everyone was very nice and made her feel relaxed. Very happy I decided to take her there. Great customer service and just overall an awesome experience! Dr. Nate and Lex ( I think that was his name) were amazing and my little one can be a handful!

My 7 year old son saw Dr. Nate today and I will never take him anywhere else! He is ADHD and VERY busy but Dr. Nate and his staff were so kind and patient with him, taking the time to listen to him and explain every step of the appointment process. The office was clean and and they were very prompt (was seen within a few minutes of checking in). They were very thorough and had a lot of frame options for my little guy to try on! We drive over 30 minutes to get to this office but I would drive double that! Thank you, Dr. Nate & Bright Eyes Kids!

My daughter is 2.5 years old, and this was her second eye exam in her small life. It was the best experience! The doctor sang songs with her, made games out of the vision test and even included her stuffed animal on the fun. It was ok for my daughter to keep her eyes closed for the drops so the drops seep in. And she never cried! Last year at our previous eye doctor, she was screaming like crazy. I could tell my daughter was starting to bond with the doctor and was having fun. Selecting glasses there was so easy as well, it felt great to see them measuring the frames to her face. Really excited to have found this place! Very kid friendly, bright colors and decorated with cartoons, plus they kept the place clear of people by spacing out appointments during the pandemic. Definitely recommend!

After potentially getting glass in my eye well after most optometrists had gone home for the day I started calling any offices in the hopes of finding someone willing to examine me that evening - this is when I found Dr. Nate. Calm, caring, and generous with his time is how I would describe the experience. Dr. Nate was not only thorough but also seemed to genuinely care about me and set my worries at ease during and after my exam. He opened his doors after hours to accommodate me and I could not be more thankful. We need more Dr. Nates in the world and I appreciate his expertise in a stressful time!
