Say hello to Ashlyn! 👋✨

Ashlyn is one of the new friendly faces you’ll see in both the clinic and at the front desk! She’s funny, optimistic, and already fitting right in with our team. She loves getting to joke around with everyone and help make your visit a great one.

She’s brand new and already doing a great job—we’re so excited to have her on the team! 💙

When she’s not at work, you’ll find her chasing sunsets 🌅 or watching Yellowstone. And at home, she’s busy spoiling her 5-year-old pup, Addie 🐶💕

Speaking of home, she’s a recent transplant from Colorado and is really loving Illinois life so far!

Welcome to the team, Ashlyn!

We’re excited to introduce Becky, one of our wonderful clinicians here at Bixby Eye Center! Becky recently joined our team and we’re so happy to have her friendly face, compassion, and fun energy in the clinic.

Becky was previously part of Dr. Gysin’s office, so many of his patients may already know and love her! She’s been a fantastic addition to our team and is fitting in so well already.

When she’s not helping patients, Becky enjoys walking, working out, and spending time with her Australian Shepherd, Levi. 🐶 And a fun fact — she even has a daughter living in England!

We’re so happy she’s part of the Bixby family!

✨ Stay tuned… we’ll be sharing a Meet the Team post for Dr. Gysin soon!

Myth vs. Fact

Myth: If I can see fine, I don’t need an eye exam.

Fact: Many eye conditions develop quietly — without noticeable vision changes at first. A comprehensive eye exam looks at the overall health of your eyes, not just how clearly you can read the chart.

At The Bixby Eye Center, we believe prevention and early detection are key to protecting your vision for the long term. Even if everything seems “fine,” routine exams help catch concerns early and keep your eyes healthy.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, this is your sign ✔️
📞 Call us at (309) 692-0000 or visit www.bixbyeyecenter.com to schedule your comprehensive exam.

Your future vision will thank you

Because nothing says “I love you” like seeing clearly ❤️👀
