Our Medical Approach to Eye Care
At Bard Optical, we take a comprehensive look at your whole eye health. By using both their optometry expertise and advanced equipment, our doctors can screen for, diagnose, and even help manage various eye conditions. Many eye conditions develop and worsen before you start to experience symptoms. We believe that it’s our job to find these problems before you do, because early diagnosis leads to the best outcomes for your eyes.
Eye Care Services in East Peoria

Thorough Eye
Health Exams
Our mission is to ensure that you can experience great eye health throughout your entire life, and that begins with regular, comprehensive eye health exams. During an eye health exam, our East Peoria doctors will use advanced screening and imaging technology to make sure your eyes are healthy. If you wear eyewear, we’ll update your prescription so that your glasses or contacts continue to give you the clearest vision possible.

Large Frame
Selection
We believe that everyone who wears glasses should feel great about how they look. We carry a large variety of frames so that you can find the perfect eyewear to match your style, no matter if you have more designer or functional tastes. Once you’ve decided on a pair (or two!) of frames, we’ll fit them with custom lenses in our optical lab in Peoria.

Contacts for
Everyone
Poorly fitting contact lenses are uncomfortable and don’t provide effective vision correction. At Bard Optical, we take special care to evaluate your eyes and prescribe you with the right contact lens product for great vision and a comfortable fit. With us, you’ll also benefit from 24/7 access to your preferred lenses — you can order and reorder your lenses at any time by visiting our online contact lens store.
