Real Patient Stories
"The entire staff was amazing, friendly, and professional from start to finish."
This was the best experience I have ever had at an eye doctor's office!
The entire staff was amazing, friendly, and professional from start to finish. I have already recommended this establishment and Dr. Mays to multiple friends and family members.
● JR
I absolutely love this office.
I kid you not, my appointment this morning was the highlight of my day. All the staff are so kind, patient, and personable. For something so difficult to decide, like buying glasses, and intense eye exams, they make it so enjoyable and comfortable.
● VI
I was very happy this time with my grandsons visit.
They were wonderful with him. He is 9 years old very good with kids. Explained everything in detail about his exam everyone was super friendly and his glasses were ordered!

Tired of Being Another Name on the Schedule?
When you live in a rural community, an eye appointment can take most of the day. An optometrist serving Iola should make that drive worthwhile by taking the time to fully answer your questions, not simply hand you a prescription.
Dr. Justin Mays and Dr. Megan White schedule longer appointments, giving you time to discuss your vision, understand your eye health, and get clear answers before deciding on treatment.
Your eye exam, treatment, and eyewear can all be handled in the same building. One visit means less time on the road and more time focused on your eyes.

A Prescription Is Only the Starting Point
Clear vision today is only one part of your long-term eye health. Our optometrists also look for changes and conditions that could affect your vision years from now.
Thorough Annual Eye Exams
We evaluate your eye health as well as your vision and compare your results with your previous exams. Because many eye diseases can develop without noticeable symptoms, regular comprehensive eye exams can help identify changes early.
Dry Eye Evaluation and Treatment
Dust, wind, outdoor work, and long days in front of screens can contribute to dry, irritated eyes. Our dry eye treatment begins by identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms so we can recommend treatment based on what your eyes actually need.
Myopia Management for Growing Eyes
If your child’s prescription continues to increase, it may be time to look beyond stronger glasses. Myopia management is designed to help slow the progression of nearsightedness while your child’s eyes are still developing.
Disease Management
Conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease can progress without obvious changes to your vision. We provide glaucoma treatment and diabetic eye exams in our office and can coordinate a referral to a cataract surgeon when specialized surgical care is needed.
Pediatric Optometry
Children may not realize their vision is different because they assume everyone sees the way they do. Our pediatric optometrist evaluates vision, focusing, and eye tracking while keeping the experience comfortable and easy for children.
Glasses, Contacts, and Lens Options in One Visit
Your eye care should not require an extra trip just to handle your eyewear. We make it convenient to complete your eye exam and explore your glasses or contact lens options in the same location.

Custom Eyeglass Lenses Made for Your Eyes
We prescribe custom Essilor lenses based on your prescription and how you use your vision every day—whether you spend your time behind a truck windshield, working on a computer, or doing a little of both.
2,000+ Frames to Choose From
You do not have to settle for the first frame that fits. With more than 2,000 options, you can find eyewear that fits comfortably and matches your style. Browse the selection before your visit or explore the full collection in our optical.
Contact Lens Exams and Fittings
A contact lens fitting evaluates the shape and fit of the lens on your eye to make sure it sits and moves properly. We offer fittings for daily, monthly, multifocal, and specialty contact lenses.
Neurolens for Eye Strain and Headaches
If you experience eye strain or headaches after reading, working on screens, or focusing throughout the day, your symptoms may be related to how your eyes work together. Neurolens uses specialized lens technology designed to address certain binocular vision issues that can contribute to these symptoms.
