Services Eye Examinations
We are trained to comprehensively examine the eyes and visual system of infants to the elderly. We recommend that infants have their eyes checked at 6 months (often done by your pediatrician or family physician), then children at age 3 and just before entering kindergarten or first grade. Children need not know the alphabet to have their eyes examined.
We evaluate the eyes for any refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism) and determine if glasses or contact lenses are needed.
We test how well the eyes work together and change focus from distance to near. This type of testing is especially important with children as early detection can prevent developing a lazy eye (amblyopia). Children also are using their visual system heavily to learn during school, so alleviating eyestrain with the proper prescription, or in some cases vision therapy, is crucial.
We carefully check for eye diseases including glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts. Many eye diseases are more prevalent as we age. Our practice has invested key equipment that provides valuable information in detection and evaluating progression in important diseases. We are able to treat and manage many of these conditions, so you don’t have to travel out of town unnecessarily.
Contact Lens Fitting
We have access to all types of contact lenses and can often help even if you have had difficulty in the past with contact lenses. Please let us know when you schedule an exam if you wear contacts or are interested in trying them. We will show you how to insert and remove your lenses properly, and can usually provide you with trial period with the contacts to make sure you like them before you buy them.
Diabetic Eye Examinations
Diabetes can affect the eyes in several ways. We carefully check for any diabetic-related changes and can communicate our findings with your diabetes doctor after discussing them with you. It is recommended diabetics have their eyes examined every year.
Urgent Eye Care
We do our best to help you as soon as possible for urgent situations like something in the eye, an eye infection or acute vision loss. Please call our office for immediate assistance. Chemical splashes in the eye should be irrigated with clean water for several minutes before calling, and metal in the eye should be taken care of quickly to minimize the amount of rust that can form in the eye tissue. Always wear safety glasses when appropriate, especially hammering metal. The doctors can often be reached after hours for emergency care if needed. Try Dr. Williams at 431-8289 or Dr. Slusser at 431-8189.


LASIK
We work with the best refractive surgery centers in our region and can tell you if you are a good candidate for LASIK. We are able to do the pre and post-operative care here in Rupert, minimizing your out- of-town time and expenses.
Cataract Surgery
We have developed a great working relationship with the cataract surgeons in our area and can tell you if you are a good candidate for surgery. We can arrange your consultation and send a report ahead of your visit with the surgeon. We can help with the post-operative care as well.

I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after visiting them. All my questions were answered, and I feel a lot more confident and hopeful about the future. They were by far one of the best I've ever seen in their field. It was obvious that they've been exceeding their clients' expectations for many years. They always dress so professionally here, the entire staff obviously makes an effort to look their best and maintain a very professional appearance. It was nice to see them treat their staff with so much respect. It was obvious that they had a good relationship with all of their staff members. Let me just say that this business is in one of the safest areas around and you will be pleasantly surprised at how lovely the surroundings are.

They do such a great job of never overbooking appointments, even though they are extremely popular. I know for a fact that they have lots of business, but I've never had to wait a long time in a crowded waiting room like other places I've been too. I am always so impressed with how quickly my calls are answered here. I am never put on hold for a long time and love knowing that if I have a quick question I won't have to wait a half hour through terrible music to get it answered. Whenever I make an appointment, I'm always confident that they're going to be ready for me at my scheduled time. At other places I've been to, it's always bothered me when they postpone my appointment, but they've never done that here. They always go above and beyond to help me with anything I need. They never complain about anything, and I know I can always count on them.
