In Ocularistry, it gives us an immense sense of fulfillment to help someone gain back their sense of self-confidence in their daily lives without letting any obstacles get in their way. Our practice is a collective effort made by our team and the patient’s support network which includes family, friends and eye care professionals. We hope our patients feel our genuine care as they interact with our team through the phases of producing their new prosthesis. It is our mission and goal to be able to help patients throughout the Midwest.
