Rural healthcare access means having a trusted provider who can handle everything from routine checkups to urgent eye conditions. Our optometrists provide complete family eye care, examining patients from six months old through their senior years. Whether you need your annual eye exam, contact lens fitting, or treatment for an eye condition, our team delivers personalized care in a welcoming environment.

Emergency Eye Care When You Need It Most

Eye emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. When you experience sudden vision changes, eye pain, or injury, having access to same-day care can make the difference in protecting your sight. Vision Source Mandan provides urgent eye care for conditions that require immediate attention, helping Hebron residents avoid long waits at emergency rooms that often lack the specialized equipment needed to properly diagnose and treat eye conditions. Our doctors handle issues like foreign objects in the eye, sudden vision loss, eye infections, chemical exposures, and trauma from work or sports injuries.

Myopia management has become increasingly important as nearsightedness rates continue rising in children. Our practice offers evidence-based treatments to slow myopia progression, helping protect your child’s long-term vision health. Dr. Schauer and Dr. Dyke have extensive experience in pediatric eye care, making visits comfortable for even the youngest patients while ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.

Advanced Contact Lens Fittings

Finding the right contact lenses for Hebron patients requires expertise, especially for patients with astigmatism, dry eyes, or other conditions that make fitting more complex. Dr. Aberle specializes in contact lens care and can fit even challenging prescriptions. We work with all major lens manufacturers and insurance providers, including VSP and EyeMed, to help you access the vision correction you need at a price that works for your budget.

Many eye conditions require ongoing monitoring and treatment to preserve your vision. Our optometrists diagnose and manage:

• Glaucoma: Regular pressure checks and treatment to prevent vision loss

• Macular degeneration: Monitoring and management strategies to slow progression

• Diabetic retinopathy: Comprehensive diabetic eye exams to catch changes early

• Dry eye disease: Treatment options beyond simple artificial tears

• Cataracts: Evaluation and surgical referrals when needed

Our practice maintains relationships with retinal specialists throughout the region, ensuring you receive coordinated care when surgical intervention becomes necessary. We handle the initial diagnosis and ongoing monitoring while connecting you with the right specialists for procedures we don’t perform in-office.

Why Hebron Residents Choose Vision Source Mandan

Distance matters less when you’re working with a practice that respects your time and provides comprehensive care in one location. Hebron families choose our practice because we understand rural healthcare needs. Our patients routinely travel 30 miles or more because they value having all their eye care services available under one roof. We’ve built our reputation on quality care, advanced technology, and genuine relationships with the communities we serve.

​​​​​Convenient Location on Highway 1806

Our Mandan office sits easily accessible from Hebron via Highway 1806, making the 30-mile trip straightforward regardless of weather conditions. The drive takes approximately 30 minutes under normal conditions, and our flexible scheduling helps accommodate your travel time. Many Hebron families combine their eye appointments with other errands in the Mandan-Bismarck area, making efficient use of their trip.

Eye care needs to change throughout your lifetime. Children require different assessments than teenagers, and adults face different challenges than seniors. Our three-doctor team ensures we can address every stage of vision care:

Dr. Danielle Dyke brings specialized training in pediatric vision care and comprehensive family services. As a Bismarck native and University of North Dakota graduate, she understands the unique needs of North Dakota families and maintains active involvement in the North Dakota Optometric Association.

Dr. Wayne Aberle focuses on contact lenses, urgent care, and diabetic eye exams. Originally from Herreid, South Dakota, he returned to the region after gaining experience in larger metropolitan areas because he’s committed to serving rural communities that need comprehensive eye care close to home.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Dr. Brittany Schauer, our practice owner, specializes in glaucoma treatment and macular degeneration management. Raised near Streeter, North Dakota, she joined our practice in 2012 and now serves on the North Dakota Optometric Association board while co-administering the Vision Source Network for North Dakota.

Our membership in the Vision Source network means you benefit from connections with over 3,000 independent optometry practices across North America. This network gives us early access to the latest diagnostic equipment and treatment technologies. ​​​​​​​

Manufacturers introduce new instruments to Vision Source members first, ensuring our practice stays on the cutting edge of eye care technology. You receive big-city technology with small-town service and personal attention.
