Comprehensive Vision and Eye Health Examinations
Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. The entire exam process can take an hour depending on the complexity of the problem. Each patient will be evaluated with a refraction, slit lamp, intraocular pressure and a retinal exam.
Pediatric Eye Care
We take pride in maintaining the vision of our younger patients in an environment that is lighthearted and fun. We want to insure the good sight, vision, and eye health for the rest of your child's life and take a preventative approach to his/her general health and eye health. We will work with your child's primary care physician to help keep his/her eyes healthy. It is important that all of our pediatric patients have healthy and efficient visual systems to help make visual demands of learning in school easier and fun.

What Our Patients Say
Real stories from patients who've seen the world more clearly with our care—experience the difference for yourself.
I have been going to North Central Eye for years. Dr. Sivesind does a great job helping me with far-sided contact prescription. He provides sound advice and education on how to keep my eyes healthy for the years to come.
Best experience we have had. They were so patient and kind. Brought my teen in to get contacts for the first time and she was having difficulty getting them in. They guided her through the whole process and took their time with her. Thanks for being so helpful and patient with us. You guys are the best.
Everyone was great with our two boys aged 3 and 5. They made it a fun experience, had a great approach, and explained everything very well to our children. 10/10 would recommend!
