Comprehensive Eye Care FAQs
Your Comprehensive Eye Care Questions, Answered
Whether you're overdue for an eye exam, managing a chronic condition, or simply trying to understand what good eye care looks like at your stage of life, this page brings together the questions we hear most often from adult and senior guests at Boling Vision Center's Comprehensive Eye Care & Wellness Center. If your question isn't covered here, our team is always glad to help. Schedule an appointment at any of our four Northern Indiana locations and let's talk through whatever is on your mind.
Eye Exams and Preventive Care
How often do adults need a comprehensive eye exam?
For adults without known eye conditions, a comprehensive eye exam every two years is a reasonable minimum through the thirties. From age forty onward, annual exams are recommended as the risk of age-related conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, begins to increase meaningfully. For adults with diabetes, a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration, or other risk factors, annual exams are recommended regardless of age. Your provider will advise on the most appropriate schedule for your individual situation.
Do I need an eye exam if my vision seems fine?
Yes. Many serious eye conditions, including glaucoma, early macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, develop without any noticeable change in vision until significant and sometimes irreversible damage has already occurred. A comprehensive eye exam detects these conditions in their earliest, most treatable stages, regardless of whether vision seems normal. The absence of symptoms is not the same as the absence of disease.
What is the difference between a comprehensive eye exam and a vision screening?
A vision screening is a brief test of distance visual acuity that identifies some obvious refractive problems but misses the majority of what a comprehensive eye exam evaluates. A comprehensive exam assesses eye health, intraocular pressure, retinal health, binocular function, and early signs of disease, none of which a standard screening addresses. It is significantly more thorough and is the only reliable way to fully evaluate both vision and eye health.
Can an eye exam detect health conditions beyond the eyes?
Yes. The blood vessels, optic nerve, and other structures visible during a dilated eye exam can show signs of diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, neurological conditions, and other systemic diseases. In some cases, an eye exam is where these conditions are first detected, prompting referrals that lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment. This whole-person diagnostic perspective is one of the things that sets Boling Vision Center apart.
Is dilation necessary at every exam?
Not necessarily at every visit, though it is an important part of a comprehensive exam and is particularly important for older adults and anyone with risk factors for retinal or optic nerve disease. Your provider will advise whether dilation is needed based on your age, history, and the findings of the exam. Because dilation temporarily affects near vision and light sensitivity, arranging a driver for the trip home is a good idea if you're being dilated.

LASIK surgery truly changed my life. Fighting my glasses while fighting fires just wasn't working. Unfortunately, there is no way to ‘test-drive' LASIK so, for my part, there was an element of faith involved. But I did my research and chose Boling. They are a first class operation and the real experts when it comes to LASIK surgery. Their professionalism and friendliness gave me the confidence I had made the right choice. Next to becoming a firefighter, it was the best decision of my life.

You have to wear many hats as a coach and need to be ready for anything. On the court, things happen quickly and you need to see what is going on at all times so you can be your best for your players. Since I had the LASIK treatment at Boling, my vision is sharper than ever. You can't underestimate the importance of good vision and what it does for your confidence. Thanks to Boling, I'm not missing a thing.

The LASIK Procedure was so much easier than I thought it would be. It was quick. I was in and out of the room in about 10 minutes. It’s a miracle. I feel like what has happened to my eyes, and what it has done for me, has been something that I can’t even explain. It has been the best thing that I’ve ever done.

Your vision after the surgery is even better than it is with corrective lenses or glasses, so I’m out there, out on the court seeing better than 20/20 which is a tremendous benefit for me. Dr. Boling came very highly recommended by Coach McGraw. I could not be happier with my ability to see after my LASIK!

Aches and pains are a part of all college athletes’ every day lives; however, I didn’t realize that painful and annoying contact lenses didn’t have to be! I used to fight the constant irritation of contacts every day, worrying that they might fall out or tear … especially during allergy season. This is no longer a worry for me now that I’ve had my LASIK by Dr. Boling! Although track seasons are a thing of the past for me, I’m now running in challenges called ” Tough Mudders” – 10-12 mile hardcore obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie while tackling obstacles such as 12 foot walls, underground mud tunnels, fire, ice-water, and 10,000 volts of electricity! Talk about aches and pains! I would have never even dreamed of getting through a race like that without my contacts posing a major problem … but now I don’t even give it a second thought! And the best part was how easy the entire LASIK process was for me. The procedure was completely painless, the staff was so nice and helpful, and they answered every question I could think of before I even had the chance to ask! If you want the definition for amazing customer service, look in the dictionary under Boling Vision Center!

It’s easy “to see a big defensive lineman trying to slip by you, but seeing safeties or cornerbacks at a distance without contacts or glasses was a real challenge for me. That’s why I decided to have LASIK at Boling Vision Center. The experience was truly amazing. The surgery only took a couple of minutes and the recovery was fast and painless. Now I can see more clearly than I ever imagined would be possible. And that’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”

We had a very positive experience with Dr.Steven Sorenson. About a week ago, he removed a tiny metal piece from my son’s eye. My son was very scared, crying, and constantly trying to pull away, but the doctor was extremely patient and calm with him throughout the entire procedure.
He showed not only a high level of professionalism but also genuine care and kindness. He truly wanted to help and did everything he possibly could to make the procedure as safe and comfortable as possible.
Thanks to his skill and patience, we were able to avoid general anesthesia, which was a huge relief for us as parents. We are very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him.

Great experience. I arrived fairly early to my appointment time. Staff was able to take me back and start their rooming process. Madison,I believe, was the technician who took great care of me. She explained everything well before she proceeded with her exam/testing. Dr. Reilly was quick to enter the room. She took her time with me and gave a thorough exam. I didn't feel I was rushed through.

My daughter and I were at the Elkhart location last week and Gil helped us. My daughter has extreme anxiety and was pretty nervous. Gil was amazing. He is so good with kids! He was funny and really patient. I appreciate places not rushing us. It took several tries to dilate her eyes and he was very positive with her and did great calming her down. I don’t often leave reviews but knew I needed to after we left. We really felt taken care of! Alyssa helped us as well and her recommendations were so appreciated.

Madison checked me out. She was wonderful and filled with a lot of information to help me go forward with my next step.
Thank you to the amazing Boling staff. You are awesome!

Prompt, professional, and positive responses from the time I entered the building. Every single staff member appeared to truly love what they were doing and it was reflected in their patient care. Noel at the front desk and Jackie, my personal care provider, were so pleasant and intentional. They are a great asset to the practice. Dr. Boling, as always, was personable, skilled, and affirming. We can always be assured that we will receive the best care available…and we are grateful.

After being totally dissatisfied with my service from Boling center will use them again and so will my husband Dr. Egan did my exam set my eyes and got better. Give me a trial contacts which I could not see out of that left me with no contacts at all I had to call and desperately get some contacts so I could see Then I went back to my prior prescription and explains and paid for contacts which I’m still waiting on a refund that this has been since November of this year they still owe me $160 terribly terribly dissatisfied. The lady who initially saw me was very nice the young girl, however, the contact assistant Very confrontational I had to bite my lips, especially with my name being Karen I didn’t wanna be a Karen but I felt like I got nowhere. Made an Appointment with a new optician at the beginning of the year since I’ve used this year services to no avail at Boling center I will keep you posted on what they find out right now. I’m still using my prescription from two years ago and I see perfectly but not with their ones Dr. Kevin Egan gave Terrible terrible service can I say? Rhonda who is the team executive assistance for Customer service reached out to me the other day we had a nice conversation she more than made me satisfied so I’m changing my review to a five been in Customer service over 40 years. This lady who’s been in Customer service over 12 is what Customer service is all about. She made edit sure that I was taken care of both financially and with contacts and because of this, I will resume going there however I will go back to my original doctor Sorensonand that is noted on my chart and I just want to say Boling Vision team. Rhonda is amazing. definitely deserves a raise. Thank you Rhonda from the bottom of my heart.💜 5 stars for sure

I has a call in experience with Ronisha on Tuesday 9-2-25.
My eye was red on Saturday and I began to use Visine.) Holiday weekend). I called Boling on Tuesday morning and Ronisha took my call and advised me to stop using the Visine because it would make it worse, which it had - to use my regular eye drops that I had been using. She was professional, caring, and very right.
(2 days later) I had ordered glasses that I went to pick up glasses at Boling and to thank Ronisha for her work and personal effort but I could not talk to her directly.
Thank you Ronisha!
And the young lady that took care of my glasses and fitting!
I am pleased with Boling.

When I first got there the front desk was quick at getting my information.

Then got me back into see the eye doctor's Assistant quickly, did all the exams for her. MS. Boling was in like 5 minutes later did what she had to do and I was done.

We were first timers at Boling Eye Center and what a great experience! My husband is experiencing a rather sudden decline in sight which is very scary. We were so impressed with the professionalism and caring attitude of all the staff. Would like to highlight Gilbert who went above and beyond making us feel comfortable even getting my husband a wheelchair and helping him out to the car. Finally, thank you to Dr. Walker for making us feel like we were in the right hands. All of the staff from the front desk, coffee shop, and Dr Walker and crew gave us 5 star plus service. We will be back and will recommend others.

I went to another Lasik eye center and it was a horrible experience. A close friend referred me to Boling Vision Center and I was nervous to schedule a free consultation, but I did. It was the best decision! Not only was my phone call a wonderful experience, but going in and meeting the experience coordinator Cindy was out of this world. She made me feel like a person and was so genuine in her concern of me and my previous experience. She took me through the whole process and explained everything. She was an amazing person to work with and I COULD NOT recommend them more!!

Dr. Walker then came and did his exam. He is wonderful and always explains things very well. I can’t say enough good things about him and all of the Boling staff.
Boling eye care is always busy but they get you in on time and are out within an hour. Not sure how they it.

I went in today for a LASIK consultation and Cindy was the most helpful person ever. She really helps educate on the eye so you know exactly what they’re looking for in a candidate and also just gives you a little eye anatomy which I thought was super cool. She was the sweetest and most kind soul. She really loves her job and you can feel the passion when she educates you. 10/10 would recommend getting a consultation with Cindy!

Always excellent care at Boling Vision Center. Every member of the team is kind and professional. I appreciate Dr Boling's time. He does a very thorough exam that is not rushed. Do expect to have your appointment run longer then other places, but that is understandable when you consider that they are not rushing. It makes me feel confident that nothing is overlooked.

Even though I know they made an exception in their day to see me, I never once felt like I was being rushed through! I would highly recommend Boling Vision Center!!

From the first person I encountered at Boling vision I could tell this was a purpose driven culture focused organization. Everyone there is amazing kind and helpful. Lasik was what brought me to Boling and I can image anyone doing it better. The pre-operation visits were insightful and left me feeling at ease. The day of my procedure I started feeling nervous but that quickly when away when I arrived. Everyone did an amazing job making me feel calm and comfortable. The procedure truly is quick and painless. My appointment was at noon and I was at home in south bend eating pizza at 1:45. Today is my first day since my procedure and my vision is amazing. No pain or discomfort at all. My one day follow up was at the south bend south side location and they had me in and out in no time. They even help me fix my sunglasses that I had sat on a few weeks prior. Thank you to everyone!

My mother and I visited this facility and the experience was top notch from the minute we entered the building. Maggie greeted us with a smile. Chelsea and Kate were so kind, patience, and very compassionate with my mother. Dr. Heil was very comforting while explaining the procedure. After the speedy procedure we stopped at the cafe for beverages and Zee was warm and welcoming.
We truly did experience an AMAZING place.
Thanks everyone!!!

When I got there for my eye doctor appointment, I was greeted with smiles. We went through the on boarding process and within minutes I was getting my eyes checked out, had a wonderful conversation with my eye doctor, and then the gentleman that helped me with my glasses was totally awesome. Very very happy experience.

I had my cataract implants performed last summer 2023 by Dr. R. C. Boling. I was apprehensive at first but my fears and apprehensive feelings were quickly squashed and dissipated by the very professionalism, congeniality, and caring of Dr. Boling and his surgical staff and preparation team. I have been always treated like family and made to feel comfortable and informed during the process and the follow-up visits and examinations by my other doctors and technicians. I always recommend Boling Vision Center to anyone needing any type of optometry advice or treatment. One of the best decisions I had ever made in my 67 years was to choose Boling Vision Center for my cataract surgery and optometry needs and continue to be a patient at Boling Vision Center and never will consider any other place.

Today: fantastic service. Everyone was so understanding about my physical issues and had sincere patience with me.
Also, DeAshton in the frame dept was awesome. Extremely, helpful and assisted me in locating a replacement frame they don't carry, for a pair of my broken Marchon glasses' lenses that they had serviced in the past. Now that is excellent costumer service.
From 2 years ago: I really appreciate the excellent customer service and fantastic doctors and staff. Today's visit was made even better because Michele at the checkout desk was so helpful and patient with me.

When they say ‘Amazing happens here’ they are not scamming you!!! I had the pleasure of knowing them from them treating my mother & they were able to keep her vision until she passed, which was not what we got elsewhere. Now my hubby had a retinal hemorrhage & they have went out of their way to try & find what will work to fix it. He hasn’t been an easy treatment, but they have been doing everything possible. They are personable & the doctors & staff are the sweetest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The staff is very professional and friendly. I am treated like a human with a problem that needs to be fixed. When we talk about options the doctor doesn’t use technical terms he talks to me like a person who is concerned and is willing to figure out what needs to be done. Whatever test he suggests to have done, I do it, and they set those tests up to have done. I love that they keep up on new technology to help, not just myself, but people with problems. I always tell people at work about Boling Vision Center and will continue to tell people that I strongly recommend them.

Cindy is the sole reason I ended up deciding to get lasik done for myself! She is a true asset to the company, and definitely deserves more money than she's currently getting! No doubt about that!
We showed up for a consultation for my wife to recieve lasik, and by the end, I had decided it sounded perfect for me too! Cindy explained the entire process so in depth to us, and also in such a way that we were able to understand fully. She made us feel at ease during the whole process from start to finish. She even stood with both my wife and myself during our respective procedures to help guide us through it mentally! She took pictures and videos for us both times. She really is an absolute asset to your company! I can't say enough nice things about her. She made everything so easy and painless for us. 10/10 would recommend anyone to come to Boling Vision Center!
Please give Cindy our regards from myself and my wife. We both just adore her. Tell her 'thank you' one more time from us!

I'll start with this place changed my life. I never thought I could possibly have vision this good without glasses or contacts. The entire staff is always great to work with, they act like they genuinely care about you and your well being. Dr Boling is an extremely impressive person, he is so talented at what he does. Thank you to everyone who has helped me I will be eternally grateful!

When I came in for my consultation, Cindy greeted me, did my consultation and informed me I was not a candidate for lasik, but explained, in depth, the ICL surgery that I did qualify for. I was absolutely EXCITED, and wanted to hear all about it. Cindy blew me away with how much knowledge she had on the procedure. I left my consultation with happy tears in my eyes that FINALLY I could get my vision corrected. I was nervous, but so excited at the same time. When I came in for my final appointment before surgery for my lens fitting, I got to meet Dr. Richard Boling. From the moment Dr. Boling walked in, and greeted me, it really sealed the deal that I made the right decision. Dr. Boling answered every question I had, and did not rush my visit at all. Surgery day, I was nervous, but so excited. I knew that after all my research, if i was going to go anywhere, it was to Boling. The reviews and testimonies speak for themselves. Each and every staff member on the surgery team treated me like I was family. From beginning to end of my surgery they were right by my side. As soon as I heard Dr. Bolings voice as he came in to start my surgery I was so excited knowing in just a couple hours, I'd be seeing like I've never saw my whole life. I could barely contain my excitement. He checked each eye after surgery to make sure the lens placement was perfect, and after surgery I was offered an array of snacks and drinks to hold me over until I was discharged. I came in for my 1 day post op appointment, to be told I AM ALREADY SEEING 20/20 less than 24 hours after surgery! I was a -7.50 in my left eye, and a -2.50 in my right. I've never in my life seen even close to 20/20 with my glasses or contacts.
I want to say THANK YOU to Taylor, an employee who originally told me about there being more options than just lasik here at Boling.
I'd also like to thank Cindy, for being one of the best humans I've ever met. Cindy is the whole reason I even had this life changing surgery. Her compassion and TRUE LOVE for everyone she meets is so beautiful. She knows every detail of all of the surgeries, and really cares about each person she meets with. She doesnt read off of a paper to tell you, it is a real conversation, of her explaining everything offered in detail. I felt like family sitting with her, sharing emotional moments, and the pure JOY when she saw my eyes light up over the ICL surgery. I actually saw her at my post op appointment, and was able to hug her and thank her for being the reason I felt so comfortable moving foward with the surgery and to tell her I'm seeing 20/20 ALREADY!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH CINDY! You are SUCH a vital part of the Boling Family, and I hope everyone knows what a special place you hold in the hearts of the everyone after consultations. It was important to me, to see you in person, and SHOW YOU, you changed my life. Thank you so much again.
The biggest THANK YOU to you, Dr. Boling! Never in a million years did I think I'd ever see 20/20 in any way, shape, or form. The ICL surgery has already blown me away, and it's only been 48 hours since surgery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for improving my quality of life, and showing me a whole new world with my new eyes. I will forever be grateful for this procedure. The whole staff at Boling is amazing. It's just an amazing experience from start to finish with everyone in the building.
If you are on the fence about a consultation, or doing a corrective vision surgery, this is your sign to DO IT. Dr. Boling and the rest of the team are top in the nation ( trust me after reading their reviews I would of traveled across the country for Dr. Richard Boling to complete my surgery. I just got lucky that he was only 30 min from my home. ) I couldn't be happier with this procedure, from consultation to surgery day. Thank you to the whole Boling team! I am excited to move my whole family to Boling to see Dr. Walker for their annual eye exams. #BolingEyes

The eye Doc and front desk staff are 6 stars. The eye techs get docked a star for foolin around.
First, they take away half your vision and ask you to read big ol letters, get you all confident.
Then, they make the letters smaller and smaller and keep asking you to read it w your BAD eye! What a joke.
Didnt help that all the letters looked the same and were out of focus more for my bad eye. Prolly on purpose. I suspect some were in Spanish too. Yeah, i know.
Id go back, i guess, but im gonna ask them to use easier, bigger letters next time. Or maybe colors or shapes, instead.
All i have to say is we ARE lucky boling vision isnt in charge of street signs. Wed ALL have to stop, get out the car, go read the street sign in 1/4 inch font, get BACK in the car, and turn. Every time. Yeah, i KNOW, right?!?!

Dr. King went to great lengths explaining my situation and the treatment it required.

I cannot recommend too highly both Boling Vision Center and Dr. King.

A+++ review here! I needed cataract surgery and had heard great things about this place. Dr. Richard Boling performed the surgery with the newest multi-focal lens on both eyes a week apart. It has been 3 months since the surgery, and my vision kept getting better and better (you need to be patient), and NOW my vision is crystal clear for distance and reading. I am extremely happy with the result. The experience was pleasant because everyone there was so caring and professional. Dr. Richard Boling performed a miracle for me. I had worn glasses since I was 9 years old...thick glasses. Ha!
WONDERFUL PLACE. Do not hesitate to go to them if you need eye surgery. Thank you to Dr. Boling and your great staff of helpers!

My 8 yr. old son and I visited Boling Vision Center for his first eye exam and we were well taken care of. My son needed an extensive exam and they were very good about keeping us informed throughout. I was also impressed with all the in-house technology. Generally I leave the doctors office feeling cheated and disrespected but not the case here . Each and every person we delt with had a big smile on their face and they were all so friendly. Other doctors offices should model their practices after Boling and pay more attention to how they treat their patients / customers. I would recommend Boling Vision Center to anyone.

I really cannot say anything negative about my experiences at Boling Vision Center. Dr. Walker has been my doctor, and I trust his judgment completely. He has now recommended that I have laser surgery. I do not dread this, because I know the Boling team is the best!

The person my daughter met with for LASIK surgery took great care and time explaining what would happen and why. She also, because I was there and a patient of Boling Eye Care answered questions about my possible cataract surgery and got a telehealth appointment set up. I am so excited to have Bolings take care of my eye health surgery in the future.

Words cannot express how I feel about being able to be your patient. I know there are allot of people with serious problems but you/your personnel makes me feel like I'm more that just a number. After experiencing injections at another office, and the emotional toll, not to mention the irritation to my eyes, CHANGING to Boling was THE BEST. Before it would take up to 4 hours, but with you guys, I'm out in less than an hour and besides being dilated, would never know I had just had an injection. Thank you

I just had the opportunity to have the absolute best experience with John Follmer of the optical department at the Elkhart location today! He was friendly, funny, and fantastic. I was able to be sassy and find a pair of glasses and sunglasses that fit my style and personality. And! I totally was able to talk Broadway! I have never had this type of experience shopping for glasses in the past, it’s only John, forevermore!

Where do I start with this review? I called the Elkhart office earlier than their normal hours, but close enough that someone answered the phone. I was in absolute excruciating pain, so much so, I was bawling. The woman on the other end of the phone immediately knew something was very wrong. Her empathy, kindness, and extreme care immediately kicked in. She immediately asked me what facility I was closest to, if I had someone to drive me, and let me know that she set up an immediate appointment. She calmed me down, and was able to let me know that I would be in the best of hands. I showed up to the Goshen location, and was immediately taken back to a room. A virus was attacking my eye. Medication drops & gel were immediately given to me, and a plan of attack was set in place.
The next day, I received a phone call from the woman that answered the phone, when I was so desperate for help. She wanted to check to see how I was doing, and that I had been heavy on her heart since my call. She said she prayed for me, and just wanted to make sure I was feeling better. She was an ANGEL! She did not have to call me the next day, and check on me, but she did. She far exceeded my expectations with her care, love and compassion for me. Tylar Lochmandy was her name, and she exemplifies the beauty of what love, compassion, and care truly is. She has restored my faith in humanity! She deserves to know how truly wonderful she is, and how appreciative I am for her. Keep up the wonderful work, Tylar! You are amazing!

Dr. Walker does an excellent job of anticipating areas of question or concern and educates accordingly. Best of all, I never leave feeling my questions were unanswered. So glad I had my Lasix performed through Boling Vision.

I called Boling and they were able to get me in the next day! Cindy was so kind and patient and has a wealth of knowledge which she eagerly shared making me feel so comfortable and excited to schedule my Lasik surgery. Cindy is so good at her job that my husband now is also interested in Lasik.
Thank you Boling Vision Center for being so caring, compassionate and for making me feel at ease while starting this journey to Lasik.

I have been having issues with my eyes for the past 20 years. In all of those years I have never felt like I have to launched coming to Boling Vision Center. I have met so many people that have not only helped me, but have genuinely cared about me and my eye care. First, Leanne. If she wouldn’t of advocated for BVC I wouldn’t of found my home and be where I am today. Dr. Layman has been amazing and advocated for me. Dr. Whitney Boling has also been amazing. Her guidance was so helpful and for that I am so thankful. And lastly, Katie. Although shes sometimes the person we dread because we know we’re going to have to talk money, I instantly loved her. She was so happy for me and I enjoyed talking with her so much! Though I don’t know everyone’s names who I have been ncountered they’ve all been amazing. So thank you so much BVC! You have changed my life and I will forever be grateful!

I would like to thank Dr. Layman, who saw me the same morning without an appointment so that I could update my prescription and order new glasses the same day. Also, Alesha at the front desk went out of her way to help me set up the appointment.

Absolutely amazing from beginning to end. All staff are amazingly friendly and will spend as much time as needed answering any and all questions. My Lasik surgery was expertly performed and I had no discomfort during the entire process before, during, and after the operation. From the free initial consultation to my most recent 3 month post op, I have had the best experience and would recommend anyone with glasses or contacts to get a free consultation.

Recently got Lasik done & it was the BEST investment I’ve ever made! Its only been little over a week since I got it done & my vision has been better than it ever has been, even when I would wear contacts or glasses! If your interested in better vision for the rest of your life, I recommend getting this procedure done 1000/10. Will be returning soon so my mother can get it done as well. Thank you so much to Whitney Boling & her amazing team for making my dream come true!! ❤️

Curious, the email came to me (John), while the link supplied my wife's name. Would be nice if they fixed this issue.
In any event, it was my first time with Dr. Reilly. She was excellent- knowledgeable, knew my history, and was very thorough with my exam. Will definitely go back to her.
It is 2025; I have continued to go to Dr. Reilly and she continues to impress. After the last exam, my prescription changed and I decided to get new glasses. I ordered 2 pairs of top of the line progressive lens glasses- one through insurance which used a lab in their network, and one from Boling's lab. The outside lab made Shamir Auto intel fixed IS lenses while Boling made IOT Camber lenses. The difference was stark. The IOT was so much better I couldn't believe it. I had the optical tech recheck the Shamir lenses to make sure the prescription was correct because they were so inferior. The prescription was correct. I decided to spend extra money and have the second pair remade in IOT Camber even though it had been covered by insurance initially. If anyone has the option to get IOT Camber, I highly recommend it. Having had the luxury of being able to do a direct comparison of identical glasses including frames made by both types of methods, I can assure you that the IOT Camber is far superior.

Your eyes are too precious to go to cut rate optical clinics. At Boling I know I’m in the best state of the art eye care facility’. Dr Boling also has a very professional but friendly staff. We drive a bit of a distance to go to Boling but it’s well worth the drive. It’s not possible in my opinion to find a better more qualified eye care center anywhere. I’m very thankful we found them.

My husband and I both had our checkups with Dr Egan & Jackie. Jackie took us together thru the different “stations” which I appreciated so I could hear what was going on with my husband's eyes & vice versa. Jackie was delightful & didn’t hesitate with answers to our questions & she wrote down the questions I had for Dr Egan. She was efficient, once we were placed in a room, when going thru the eye chart for each eye, including close & far away and the “puff test.” Jackie explained everything she was doing before it happened & why. The thing I most appreciated was that Jackie took the time to review each of our med lists & took out those that were obsolete & added new ones that took their place. When Dr Egan
joined us he was as professional as always & took the time, for each of us, to compare & explain our exam for that day to those before, especially our eye pressure issues. I love the fact that Dr Egan is soft spoken, approachable & patient when going thru each step of the eye exams. Overall, our
appointments went great & we plan to keep returning to see Dr Egan. We would also be happy to have Jackie again!

Common Eye Conditions
What are the early signs of glaucoma?
Glaucoma typically produces no noticeable symptoms in its early stages, which is what makes it so dangerous. By the time peripheral vision loss becomes apparent to the affected person, significant and irreversible damage has often already occurred. Regular comprehensive eye exams, including intraocular pressure measurement and optic nerve evaluation, are the primary means of detecting glaucoma early enough for treatment to make a meaningful difference.
How do I know if I have macular degeneration?
Early age-related macular degeneration produces no symptoms in most people, which is why regular retinal evaluation is so important. As the condition progresses, symptoms can include blurry or distorted central vision, difficulty recognizing faces, and a dark or blank spot in the center of the visual field. If you notice any of these changes, seek evaluation promptly. Advanced imaging at Boling Vision Center can detect subtle changes associated with AMD well before they produce noticeable symptoms.
What causes cataracts, and how do I know if I have them?
Cataracts are caused by the gradual clouding of the eye's natural lens, most commonly as a result of aging. Virtually everyone will develop cataracts to some degree if they live long enough. Common symptoms include gradually blurring vision, increased glare and halos around lights, fading of colors, and more frequent changes in glasses prescription. Cataracts are identified during a comprehensive eye exam and treated with surgery when they begin to meaningfully affect daily function.
I have diabetes. How does that affect my eye health?
Diabetes is one of the most significant risk factors for serious eye disease. Diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, glaucoma, and cataracts all occur at higher rates in people with diabetes. Annual dilated eye exams are a standard of care for anyone with diabetes, as early detection and treatment dramatically reduce the risk of vision loss. Keeping blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol well controlled is equally important for protecting long-term eye health.
What is presbyopia, and is it treatable?
Presbyopia is the age-related loss of near focusing ability that typically becomes noticeable in the mid-forties. It occurs as the eye's natural lens gradually loses its flexibility, making it harder to focus on close objects. Presbyopia is a normal part of aging and affects virtually everyone. It is managed with reading glasses, progressive lenses, multifocal contact lenses, or, for appropriate candidates, refractive procedures designed to address near vision.
Vision Correction and Eyewear
How do I know if my prescription has changed?
Gradual prescription changes are common and often subtle. Signs that a prescription may have changed include increased difficulty seeing clearly at distance or near, more frequent squinting, headaches during visual tasks, or a sense that your current glasses or contacts don't provide the clarity they used to. An annual comprehensive exam is the most reliable way to stay on top of prescription changes and ensure your optical correction remains accurate.
What is the difference between single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses?
Single-vision lenses correct for one distance, either distance or near. Bifocal lenses have two distinct optical zones, one for distance and one for near, with a visible line between them. Progressive lenses provide a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near correction without a visible line. Most adults who need correction at multiple distances prefer progressive lenses for their versatility and cosmetic appearance. Our optical team at INFOCUS Optical Lab helps guests select the lens design best suited to their prescription and visual demands.
Are more expensive lenses worth it?
Lens quality does matter, particularly for higher prescriptions and for guests with demanding visual needs. Higher-quality progressive lenses offer wider, more comfortable zones of clear vision and adapt more easily to the prescription than entry-level designs. Anti-reflective coatings, scratch-resistant treatments, and blue light filtering add meaningful value for most wearers. Our optical team discusses the options that are genuinely relevant to each guest's situation rather than recommending upgrades for their own sake.
When should I consider contact lenses instead of glasses?
Contact lenses are a practical and versatile option for many adults, offering a wider field of unobstructed vision and freedom from frames during sport, physical activity, or other situations where glasses are inconvenient. They require a separate contact lens evaluation and fitting, consistent care and hygiene, and a commitment to appropriate wear schedules. For guests interested in contacts, we're happy to discuss whether they're a good fit and guide the fitting process.
Digital Eye Strain and Lifestyle
Why do my eyes feel tired after a day of computer work?
Computer use reduces blink rate, places sustained demands on the focusing muscles, and often involves viewing conditions, including glare and suboptimal screen positioning, that increase visual effort. The result is digital eye strain: a combination of eye fatigue, dryness, headaches, and blurry vision that accumulates over a day of screen use. An up-to-date prescription, appropriate lens treatments for screen use, dry eye management if indicated, and practical ergonomic adjustments can all contribute to meaningful improvement.
Can I damage my eyes by reading in dim light?
No. Reading in low light may cause eye fatigue and temporary discomfort, but it does not cause permanent damage to the eyes or accelerate any eye disease. That said, adequate lighting makes sustained reading more comfortable and less fatiguing, so it's worth optimizing for comfort even if damage isn't a concern.
Does wearing glasses make your eyes weaker over time?
No. Glasses correct vision optically without changing the underlying structure of the eye. A person whose vision changes over time does so because of natural changes in the eye itself, not because of glasses wear. Wearing the correct prescription is always preferable to going without.
Finding the Right Care
Do I need a referral to be seen at Boling Vision Center?
No referral is required. You're welcome to schedule a comprehensive eye exam directly at any of our four Northern Indiana locations.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your current glasses and contact lenses, a list of any medications you take, your insurance information, and any prior eye care records if available. If you have a family history of glaucoma, macular degeneration, or other eye conditions, let us know when you schedule so we can ensure appropriate screening is included.
I haven't had an eye exam in several years. Is it too late to start?
It's never too late. Many conditions detected at a first exam after a long gap are still very manageable with appropriate treatment. The most important thing is to get started, establish a baseline, and commit to regular care going forward. If it's been a while since your last exam, we'd encourage you not to wait any longer.
Why Choose Boling Vision Center?
Boling Vision Center's Comprehensive Eye Care & Wellness Center combines thorough diagnostic evaluation, advanced imaging technology, and providers who take the time to understand each guest's complete picture. With four Northern Indiana locations, an on-site optical lab and surgery center, and over 65 years of trusted community care, we're the practice adults and seniors throughout Michiana rely on for the eye care they deserve. Amazing happens here.
