Our Medical Approach to Eye Care
Many eye diseases develop slowly without symptoms. These conditions may not be noticeable until your vision is at risk for permanent damage. We see the best results when the disease is diagnosed early, and treatment is begun as soon as possible. At Bard Optical, we take a more comprehensive, medical approach to eye care so we can do just that. As we look closely at your whole eye health, we can monitor for signs of disease, recommend treatments early in a disease’s progression, and in turn, provide the best possible outcomes.

Decatur Eye Care Services
Thorough Eye Health Exams
It’s our job to ensure that you can enjoy clear vision throughout your life, and that begins with scheduling regular comprehensive eye health exams. During one of our eye health exams, our Decatur optometrists will screen your eyes for disease, and, if they find any cause for concern, will help you manage your condition or refer you out to a trusted specialist. We’ll also evaluate your vision, updating your prescription if you need new glasses or contacts.
Glasses for Every Style
We understand that everyone who walks through our doors has unique fashion preferences. This is why we carry so many frames styles in our optical shop. Whether you’re interested in more classic frames or designer trends, you’re sure to leave our office with the perfect frames for your style and budget. After you’ve decided on your frames, we’ll outfit them with the latest lenses in our very own optical lab in Peoria.
Comfortable-Fitting Contacts
You don’t want your contacts to just correct your vision; you also want them to feel comfortable for everyday wear! Our optometrists in Decatur will precisely measure and evaluate your eyes so that they can prescribe you with the best size, style, and brand of contacts for your specific needs. Once we’ve ensured that your contacts fit comfortably and give you great vision, we’ll teach you how to properly care for your lenses. And, if you ever run out of contacts, just visit our online contact lens store to reorder your contacts and have them delivered directly to your door.
