Sun & Safety For The Whole Family

On the job or at the beach, your eyes need protection. UV light increases your risk of cataracts, eye cancer, and age-related macular degeneration.

Lens color and degree of darkness have nothing to do with your eyewear’s ability to block out UV light. It is important to select something that blocks UV light.

The team at The Bixby Eye Center can provide guidance. Come and see our selection today.

Our Testimonials

			
							The staff are so friendly and nice.			

				Diana			

							All good. I have a good pair of glasses for the next year!			

				Edward			

							Dr Yu gives the most thorough and comprehensive eye exam I've ever had. She remembers my history from visit to visit, she's very personable and easy to talk with. It's family here! I don't feel like just another patient, another number. The staff at Bixby love their jobs and it shows in their attitudes. They are never too busy to allow you the time to pick out a new frame and give honest opinions about how it looks on your face. They have competitive pricing, a large selection of affordable frames and a big selection of sale frames too. Bixby is the best office for eye health.			

				Mary			

							Coming here is like coming home. They remember you, they know you, it is a comfortable atmosphere. My husband and I moved away from the area 20 years ago but refuse to move our visual care needs to any other office; we gladly take the day off work and drive 3 hours each way to Bixby Eye Center.			

				Jeanette			

							Very friendly from walking in the door until walking out of the door. Made certain that my glasses were fitting correctly, regardless how many trips to the back room it took. Did not pressure me to buy glasses, since my prescription had not changed.

							I am not a patient here ( YET). I called this morning needing help with a repair to my existing frames. My lense fell out and I lost the screws. On the phone was helpful and said they could help me any time. When I arrived Robin met with me to fix my glasses. She wasn't only helpful but helped me in ways I didn't ask! Friendly,and fun and rockin style! I will definitely be coming to then for future appointments!

				Thomas			

							From examination through choosing just the right lenses and frames there is no better place to be than Bixby. Customer service? Top shelf. Care for the client? First class. Amazing team to work with from the time you enter until you leave. I travel 40 minutes when it could be 15 because their selections are as unmatched as their care and service. I'll be back.			

				Marc			

							Everyone I encountered in the office was super friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I had been a patient there for years with how comfortable I was. They laid out all of my options for contacts and glasses with my insurance in a way that was easily understandable. Don was so helpful in picking out frames. I’m usually so indecisive but his input on my features and the different styles made the decision quick and easy. I would highly recommend Bixby Eye Center for all your optical needs.			

				Grace			

							I have been using Bixby for 4 years now. I always have a wonderful experience at Bixby on Knoxville in Peoria. The receptionist was very welcoming, and the technician (Sarah) who started my exam was super friendly and efficient. Dr. Jensen was incredibly thorough, took the time to explain my eye health in a way I could understand, and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. The office is very clean, and I felt well taken care of. I'll will continue to return for my future eye care needs and highly recommended.

👁️ Eye Dilation: Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy do you dilate eyes?Dilation allows our doctors to get a wide, clear view of the inside of your eye—especially the retina and optic nerve. This helps detect early signs of eye disease, diabetes-related changes, retinal issues, and other conditions that may not cause symptoms right away.Do you dilate at every annual exam?Not typically. At Bixby Eye Center, dilation is not routinely done at annual exams unless you are age 60 or older, or if the doctor feels it is medically necessary based on your eye health, symptoms, or medical history.What happens when my eyes are dilated?You may experience blurry near vision and light sensitivity. These effects usually last about 4–6 hours, though this can vary from person to person.Why can’t dilation always be done the same day?Most routine vision insurance plans do not allow a dilated exam to be performed on the same day as a medical eye exam, which may require scheduling dilation on a separate visit.Is dilation really necessary?When recommended, yes. While it may be inconvenient, dilation is one of the most important tools we have to thoroughly evaluate eye health and protect your vision long-term. #optometristlife #OptometryCare #optometrylife #optometry #optometrist #PatientSupport #patients #eyecenterboutique #eyecenter #eyecentershop #bixby #Bixby #bixbyeyecenter #eyes #thebixbyeyecenter #BixbyEyeCenter ...
