Apple Valley Eye Care

Apple Valley Eye Care - where it's nice to be seen! Apple Valley Eye Care has been a part of the Twin Cities landscape since 1978.

A practice opened on the philosophy of providing quality eye care services utilizing state of the art technology with a heavy dose of Minnesota nice. Doctors Wellik, Haverly and Ge**er are dedicated to providing excellence in comprehensive patient care, clinical education, diagnostic techniques, contact lens fittings and optical services. Our experienced optometric staff of seasoned professionals are available to assist you with your glasses, contact lenses and specialty eyewear needs. WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR NEXT EXAM

You will be greeted by a doctor’s assistant and your preliminary testing will begin. Our advanced technology allows us to establish a corneal measurement and topography image, automated refraction and tonometry (intraocular pressures), and a baseline peripheral vision measurement. The assistant will inquire about your vision needs and concerns, review your medical history, and measure your visual acuity. The doctor will then determine your subjective refraction which is the basis for your glasses and/or contact lens prescription. He will determine binocularity (eye teaming and alignment), assess pupilary reactions (a neurological component of your exam), and evaluate with a biomicroscope the anterior portions of your eyes for any ocular health concerns. A comprehensive eye exam also includes an in depth assessment of the internal layer of the eye called the retina. Your doctor may suggest dilating the pupils to more easily view the retina. An alternative way of viewing the peripheral retina is by utilizing the digital Optomap Retinal camera called the OPTOS. Patients will be offered this innovative technology for a nominal feeOF $40.00 during your appointment.. You will be advised of additional testing and services that are not part of your normal comprehensive exam. Some of these optional services such as contact lens exams, may not be covered by your insurance and can be reviewed in detail with an Apple Valley Eye Care staff member.

Halloween is almost here! 👻 Costumes and makeup can be fun, but those spooky colored contacts might not be as harmless as they look.

Did you know all contact lenses — even decorative ones — require a prescription in the U.S.?

Buying them from a costume shop or unverified online seller can expose you to serious risks like eye pain, infections, and even permanent vision loss.

Pro Tip: If you want to add contacts to your costume, talk to your eye doctor first. Safe eyes = a safe Halloween!

Dry eyes? You’re not alone!

Many of us experience dryness and irritation from everyday habits like blinking less while staring at screens, spending long hours on computers or phones, and even being in air-conditioned or heated environments. Over time, these factors can make your eyes uncomfortable, red, or blurry.

Staying hydrated, taking regular screen breaks, and using artificial tears can help, but persistent dry eye may signal an underlying issue that deserves attention. 👁️
Don’t wait — schedule an eye exam with us to find the cause and get relief for healthier, more comfortable eyes!
