Did You Know We Treat Eye Infections?

Do you have an immediate problem with your eye(s)?

The optometrists at Vision Source Mandan can help! We routinely see urgent and emergency eye problems every day, and we can see you the same day you call.
 

Why call your eye doctor?

If you had chest pains, would you call a neurologist? Of course not! You’d want to see a heart specialist (cardiologist) who can effectively deal with your emergency issue.

So if you have an eye problem, call the specialist who deals with eyes = your optometrist!

Many times it is not the best choice to go to the general walk-in clinic or the emergency room with your eye issue. Usually, there is not an optometrist on staff at these locations nor do they have the proper instrumentation to view the ocular structures in detail. And let’s face it: Your primary care doctor is not specialized in eyes.
 

What can my optometrist treat?

We routinely deal with many different urgent issues such as, but not limited to:

  • Eye infections, such as pink eye

  • Corneal abrasions (a scratch on your eye)

  • Removing foreign bodies, such as a piece of metal in your eye

  • Itchy allergy eyes

  • Diagnose retinal detachments

  • Painful red eyes due to iritis or uveitis

  • And more!
     

Big or small, we can take care of just about any eye problem.

If there is something serious that warrants a referral, such as retinal detachment surgery, we have a system in place to get you to the right ophthalmologist quickly.
 

What do I do if I need an appointment?

Simply call our office 701-963-5202 and we will work you into the schedule to see one of our optometrists. We can take care of you right away!

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
