Caring for the Eyes That Are Still Learning to See

A child's visual system is a work in progress. From birth through the teenage years, the eyes and brain are continuously building and refining the connections that make clear, comfortable, three-dimensional vision possible. Conditions that disrupt that process, whether caught early or missed entirely, can shape a child's vision for life. At Boling Vision Center's Pediatric Eye Center, we take children's eye health seriously at every stage, with the expertise, patience, and genuine care that young patients and their families deserve. Schedule a pediatric eye exam at any of our four Northern Indiana locations today.

Children's Vision: Why It Matters

Vision is involved in roughly eighty percent of everything a child learns, experiences, and interacts with in the world. It shapes how they read, how they play, how they connect with others, and how they engage in the classroom.

When vision problems go undetected, the consequences reach well beyond blurry eyesight. Children with uncorrected vision conditions often struggle academically, develop behavioral challenges that can be mistaken for attention or learning difficulties, and miss out on experiences that depend on clear, comfortable sight.

The encouraging reality is that most pediatric eye conditions are highly treatable, and early detection consistently produces the best outcomes. The earlier a problem is identified, the more the visual system can do with the right intervention.

When Should My Child See an Eye Doctor?

The American Optometric Association recommends the following schedule for comprehensive pediatric eye exams:

  • 6 months: A child's first comprehensive eye exam, evaluating early visual development and screening for conditions that can affect the developing visual system.
  • Age 3: A pre-school exam to assess visual acuity, eye alignment, and early signs of amblyopia or refractive error before the critical developmental window narrows.
  • Age 6 and annually thereafter: Annual exams throughout the school years to monitor vision, detect any emerging conditions, and ensure that glasses or contact lenses remain appropriately prescribed.

Earlier or more frequent exams are recommended when there is a family history of amblyopia, strabismus, or significant refractive error, when a pediatrician or school screening flags a concern, or when a parent notices any signs of a potential vision problem.

A note on school screenings: School vision screenings are not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam. They test a limited range of visual functions and frequently miss significant conditions, including farsightedness, astigmatism, and early amblyopia. If your child has only ever had a school screening, a comprehensive exam is the right next step.

Pediatric Eye Exams at Boling Vision Center

A pediatric eye exam at Boling Vision Center is thorough, age-appropriate, and designed to put young patients at ease from the moment they arrive. Our exams evaluate visual acuity in each eye individually, eye alignment and movement, binocular function and depth perception, refractive error, and the health of the eye structures from front to back. For children too young to read a chart or respond verbally, we use specialized testing techniques designed for every developmental stage, from preferential looking assessments for infants to picture-based testing for toddlers and preschoolers. Dilation is an important part of many pediatric exams, particularly for young children, as it allows accurate measurement of refractive error and a complete view of the internal eye structures. Our team explains every step of the process to children and parents alike, and we take whatever time is needed to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.

Vision & Learning

The connection between vision and learning is one of the most important and most underappreciated aspects of children's eye health.

How Vision Affects Learning

Approximately eighty percent of classroom learning relies on vision, and children with undetected vision problems can face significant challenges with reading, writing, and concentration that have nothing to do with intelligence or effort. These children are sometimes identified as having attention or behavioral difficulties when the real issue is a vision problem, making sustained visual work genuinely difficult or uncomfortable.

Signs That Vision May Be Affecting Your Child's Learning

Common vision-related learning challenges include difficulty tracking across a line of text, losing place while reading, skipping or repeating words, short attention span for close visual tasks, and complaints of headaches or eye fatigue after schoolwork.

When to Seek an Evaluation

A comprehensive eye exam is always the right first step when a child is struggling academically or when a teacher raises concerns. Correcting an underlying vision problem can transform a child's classroom experience, and it's always worth ruling out before pursuing other explanations.

Pediatric Specialty Care

Boling Vision Center's Pediatric Eye Center provides evaluation and management across the full range of conditions affecting children's eyes.

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

The most common cause of vision impairment in children, amblyopia occurs when the brain and one eye fail to develop a strong visual connection during the critical developmental period. It is very treatable when identified early, with outcomes that improve the sooner intervention begins.

Strabismus (Eye Alignment)

A condition in which the eyes don't point in the same direction, strabismus affects roughly four percent of children and carries a significant risk of amblyopia if left untreated. Treatment options range from glasses and patching to surgical correction of the eye muscles.

Refractive Errors

Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are the most common vision conditions in children. Many children with significant refractive errors show no obvious symptoms, making routine exams essential for detection and early correction.

Eye Infections and Irritations

From conjunctivitis and styes to allergic eye disease and blocked tear ducts, childhood eye infections and irritations are among the most common reasons families seek eye care. We evaluate and treat the full range of these conditions promptly and thoroughly.

Pediatric Eye Injuries

Eye injuries are a leading cause of vision loss in children. Our team is equipped to manage pediatric eye injuries across the full spectrum of severity, from minor corneal abrasions to urgent trauma requiring surgical intervention.

What to Expect as a Family

A child's experience at the eye doctor shapes how they feel about eye care for the rest of their lives. At Boling Vision Center, we work hard to make every pediatric visit calm, positive, and as enjoyable as possible.

A Child-First Experience

Our team takes extra time with young patients, explains every step of the exam before it happens, and approaches each child with the patience and warmth that builds real trust. We never rush, and we never make a child feel anxious about what's coming next. Our goal is for every young guest to leave feeling good about their visit.

Clear Communication for Parents

We communicate clearly and completely at every appointment, answering every question and making sure you leave with a full understanding of your child's vision health and any recommended next steps. We know that caring for a child's eyes means caring for the whole family, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Ongoing Support Through Every Stage

If a child needs ongoing treatment, whether for amblyopia, strabismus, myopia management, or any other condition, we stay closely engaged through every stage of the process. We celebrate progress, adjust the plan as the child grows, and remain a consistent, trusted resource for families through every chapter of their child's visual development.

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.

I didn't feel I was rushed through.

I was very impressed with Boling Vision Center and all the staff I worked with. It was a very pleasant and helpful experience. I felt confident that we received quality treatment for my son’s eye that had been injured. I am glad I was referred to Boling by a friend and I would definitely recommend Boling Vision Center to others.

I came for my post op exam following my cataract surgery. I was greeted by Travis first. He was very pleasant with just a touch of a sense of humor which was in addition to his knowledge.

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.

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!!

10 minutes after checking in I was greeted by Gilbert. He took me thru several procedures before I saw Dr. Walker. Gilbert was very detailed with each test and quire thorough. He took his time and I was very impressed with professional manner.

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.

Very impressed with Boling eye care.

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.

Dr Whitney Boling was fantastic! She not only gave me a very thorough exam, but explained so I could understand her findings, and made me feel very comfortable! 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.

We truly did experience an AMAZING place.

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.

The office is clean, the staff members are pleasant and efficient and Dr. Walker is wonderful. He has a great bedside manner and explains what and why he is doing the tests.

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

Absolutely love Boling Vision Center.

Everyone from the door greeter through the gentleman who helps you order your new glasses was amazing. You can tell they prioritize patient care every step of the way.

The technology they bring to bear in your care is superior.

They are very thorough and all the equipment is super modern. This is absolutely the best place in Michiana to get your optical needs met. You wont be disappointed.

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!

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?!?!

From check in to initial examination then my time with Dr.Walker and time spent picking out new glasses and the final check out it was an excellent experience.

I highly recommend them as your eye care provider.

As in all my other visits with Dr. King, I am positive I received the very best, professional treatment available. 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.

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

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!

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. The very nice optician helped me choose three pairs of glasses (two with prescriptions) and made it a fun experience! Thank you for the wonderful services you provide for your patients.

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!! ❤️

I highly recommend the office of Dr. walker, at Boiling Vision Center.

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.

Dr. Walker is very personable and gave the most complete eye exam I have ever had. Everyone there is nice and very professional. I have had some very bad experiences at one of the "quick" eye care stores, so I appreciate people who are educated and who care about the people they serve. BVC rates a 10!

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!

I can't say enough good about Dr. Boling and his staff. After a freak home remodeling accident that punctured my wife's eye, the Boling team got us in even though they had closed for the weekend. They performed emergency surgery and walked with us through the recovery. Dr. Boling is so very knowledgeable, competent, kind, and caring. Highly recommend them for any vision care.

I stopped in earlier this week to shop around for some glasses, I've never worn glasses before and all of the associates there were incredible especially Corinna she did a phenomenal job helping me find the perfect fit and going over all of my options.

Boling Vision Center took a lot of extra time to really answer my questions, return my phone calls, or take my phone calls right away. It just seemed like there was a lot of the personal touch that you don't find necessarily at other clinics. But I really did find it here at Boling.

I love it. My new vision is wonderful. It's so much fun to get out and wear sunglasses and do stuff that I couldn't have done before. Be in the wind with my convertible car, don't have to worry about my contacts drying out, I can see perfectly. It's wonderful.

My grandson and I were very pleased with our LASIK consultation. Our consultant answered all of our questions thoroughly. She was professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, made us feel that this procedure was the right choice. We had previously been to another facility and left unhappy. Our experience with Boling was the complete opposite.

They were absolutely amazing. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and most thorough eye exam I've ever had made it very clear why they are so popular. They addressed the reason for my very watery eyes, which I had always chalked up to allergies. I am so glad I decided to give them a try.

I have Fuchs' dystrophy, a condition that makes it harder to see at night or with bright lights. Dr. Richard Boling could not have been more graceful and patient in addressing my needs. When the time came for surgery, Dr. Boling performed the procedure expertly, and my vision is the best it has been in more than 40 years. He is also a very kind and ethical man with a great staff.

Pediatric Eye Center Frequently Asked Questions

Do you see infants and toddlers?

Yes. We see children from six months of age onward and are experienced in examining very young children using techniques specifically designed for their developmental stage. A child doesn't need to be able to read a chart or answer questions for us to get accurate, meaningful information about their vision.

What if my child is anxious about eye exams?

We hear this often, and our team is genuinely experienced with anxious young patients. We take extra time, explain every step before we do it, and create an environment that's as calm and welcoming as possible. If your child has particular anxieties about medical appointments, let us know when you schedule so we can prepare accordingly. Our goal is for every child to leave feeling good about their experience.

Can you detect amblyopia in a child who seems to see fine?

Yes, and this is exactly why comprehensive exams matter. Many children with amblyopia appear to see normally because they're using their stronger eye effectively. The weaker eye's reduced vision often goes unnoticed by the child and their parents until it's identified through testing that evaluates each eye individually.

My child was diagnosed with myopia. What can be done to slow its progression?

For children with progressing myopia, myopia management strategies, including orthokeratology, multifocal contact lenses, and low-dose atropine, can help slow the rate of progression and reduce the long-term risks associated with high myopia. This is worth discussing at your next appointment if your child's prescription is changing quickly or if they developed myopia at a young age.

Does Boling Vision Center have an optical shop for children's glasses?

Yes. Our INFOCUS Optical Lab offers a wide selection of frames and lenses suited to children of all ages, including durable materials and kid-friendly styles. Our optical team helps families find frames that fit well, hold up to an active child's lifestyle, and, just as importantly, that kids actually want to wear.
