Real Patient Stories
"I kid you not, my appointment this morning was the highlight of my day."
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.

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.

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!

When Was the Last Time an Eye Exam Didn't Feel Rushed?
Too often, patients leave an eye appointment with a new prescription but little understanding of what the doctor actually found during the exam.
That is the part we do differently. As optometrists serving Caldwell, Dr. Justin Mays and Dr. Megan White schedule longer appointments, giving them time to walk you through diagnostic images, explain changes since your previous exam, and answer your questions in straightforward terms.
You should understand your own eye health well enough to know what was found, what it means, and what happens next. That is the standard we aim for.
Caldwell is about 35 minutes up Highway 21. For many patients, that drive is worthwhile when it means having an eye exam where you have time to get clear answers.

Full-Scope Eye Care Under One Roof
Vision correction is only one part of the care your optometrist provides. Monitoring your eye health and watching for changes over time are just as important.
Comprehensive, Annual Eye Exams
We evaluate your eye health alongside your vision and compare your results with previous exams. Many serious eye conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms, making regular comprehensive eye exams an important part of protecting your long-term vision.
Dry Eye Treatment
Gritty, burning, irritated, or watery eyes can have different underlying causes. Our dry eye treatment focuses on identifying what is contributing to your symptoms before recommending treatment, so you understand what we found and why we recommend a particular approach.
Myopia Management
When a child’s prescription continues to increase year after year, it is worth looking beyond stronger glasses alone. Myopia management uses evidence-based approaches designed to help slow the progression of nearsightedness while a child’s eyes are still developing.
Glaucoma and Disease Management
Glaucoma and diabetic eye disease can progress without obvious changes in vision. We provide glaucoma treatment and diabetic eye exams, using diagnostic imaging to monitor changes over time. When cataract surgery becomes appropriate, we can refer you to a cataract surgeon for the next step in your care.
Pediatric Optometry
A child who is struggling to see may not realize there is a problem or know how to describe it. Our pediatric optometrist evaluates focusing, eye teaming, and visual clarity while explaining the findings to parents in clear, easy-to-understand terms.
Glasses, Contacts, and Lens Options for Caldwell Patients
The right eyewear depends on more than your prescription. It should also fit how you use your eyes throughout the day, which is why we consider both when recommending your lens options.

Custom Essilor Lenses Made for Your Eyes
We prescribe custom Essilor lenses based on your prescription, frame, and working distances. Dr. Mays will explain the reasoning behind a particular lens recommendation so you can make an informed decision about your eyewear.
2,000+ Frames to Fit Your Style
Our optical offers plenty of options without pressuring you to decide. See what we carry before your appointment, or allow extra time during your visit to compare frames and find an option that fits your face, style, and everyday needs.
Contact Lens Exams and Prescribed Fittings
A contact lens fitting evaluates your eye’s shape and confirms that your lenses fit, sit, and move properly. We fit daily, monthly, multifocal, and specialty contact lenses, including options for patients who have had difficulty with contacts in the past.
Neurolens for Eye Strain and Headaches
Afternoon headaches, neck tension, and tired eyes can sometimes be associated with how your eyes work together. Neurolens is designed to address certain eye alignment issues that may contribute to visual discomfort and eye strain.

At what age should my child have an eye exam?

Sometimes, depending on your prescription, lens selection, and product availability. Custom lenses may require additional time to manufacture. We will explain the expected timeline during your visit and can ship your completed eyewear when appropriate to help you avoid an unnecessary second trip.
