Hello! We appreciate your positive review and thank you for taking the time to rate us.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, friends and neighbors, i had cataract surgery on both eyes! I have worn glasses for almost 60 years. Do you know how it feels to go to Dollar Tree and pick out all the regular old sunglasses i want? I. CAN. SEE. It really hit hone when i was at Walmart. I looked up at tge sign that says whats on that aisle, and i can read it!I can drive down the highway or through Sioux Falls, and can read the signs! (I still cant type). If you are contemplating getting it done, dont hesitate! I put it off for TWO years! Call Dr. Ollerton or one of the fantastic doctors, and get your sight together! Maybe I'll SEE you there! 😍😍😍

I have severe cataracts and they are getting worse. I was very impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. On Thursday, I'm having surgery on my right eye! I'll try and give you updates! ########UPDATE####### I had the surgery on both eyes two weeks apart. I still have to go back for an eye exam, because i will still have to wear glasses for close up. For the first time in 66 years, I CAN SEE! (At a distance. Up close, i am using Dollar Tree glases. I bought about 7 or 8 pairs, so i have them all over the house! But. I can see to DRIVE. I was in Walmart and i was amazed that i could actually read what was on each aisle. When your vision is 20/200 in each eye, even with glasses, its difficult to see much. There was no pain, more intense itching than anything. They occasionally blur, but I'm ashamed to admit it, but i havent been back for my second follow-up. If you need it done, don't put it off. I did for almost 2 years. Why? I have no idea. Dr. Ollerton is great!

I had LASIK surgery apprx. 6 months ago with Dr. Ollerton. Surgery was one up front cost with all follow up appts. included. Dr. Ollerton was very thorough in getting my prescriptions dialed in prior to surgery. During surgery he explained everything as it was happening and kept me informed throughout which made the whole procedure stress free. Entire process has been great and really love the results. Highly recommend to anyone looking into LASIK. Wish I had done this surgery years ago.

The receptionist was very helpful and polite. And she must have been in a good mood because she was smiling the whole time. Dr. Vanden Bosch was very nice & explained everything to me. He will be doing my left eye first in about 2 wks I'm scared but excited. I hope this will make me see better cuz I'm tired of the blurriness. Right eye is done. I can see better. I still have to wear glasses. Eyes lot better than what they were. My regular eye Dr. in Sisseton said I can get another pair of glasses 🤓. Hooray!!! It's nice to be able to see again. I'm upset that Dr. Vanden Bosch is leaving Sanford in Sioux Falls. I'm sure everyone will miss him. I'm glad that I got both of my eyes done.

Had LASIK done with Dr. Andrew Ollerton. Great experience! He went above and beyond to ensure the preparation and procedure went smoothly--literally had extra appointments to ensure my measurements were as exact as possible. Appreciated his attention to detail and commitment to patient outcomes. I have fantastic eyesight now and am so happy with the results!

Always a great experience. Dr. Byrd is a true professional and fantastic. Optical Center staff are always helpful and great to work with!

I had a great experience. From the receptionist and the nurses to the doctor, everyone was very attentive, kind, and professional. Dr. Vanden Bosch performed eyelid surgery to remove some xanthelasma, and he has the hands of an angel. Nurse Patty was very attentive and provided excellent care, along with the other nurse. I definitely recommend it!

Everytime I go get my glasses adjusted I am back there not long after!! Never had to get glasses adjusted so often either!!

The every one was great and I think doctor for going above and beyond his job thank you

Wonderful customer service, she was very friendly and helpful to my needs. Thank you for having a fantastic team!

I had to get an eye examination for DMV, cause have weak.eyes, and having no insuarence doc didn't charge me for that paper. Great reception, great doctors! I do recommend this place
