Eye Care Services in Peoria
Comprehensive Eye Health Exams
During one of our comprehensive eye health exams, we’ll make sure that your eyes are healthy and your vision is crystal clear, whether you wear eyewear or not. Our Center of Excellence optometrists will update your vision prescription as well as test your visual clarity, color perception. We employ fundus photography to look inside your eyes. We’ll also perform a range of other customized screenings and tests that look at a few different aspects of your overall eye health.
Designer Eyewear
We believe that your glasses should help you see well while complementing your style. At Bard Optical, we carry a large collection, from simple, basic options to upscale, designer styles. Our opticians can help pair you with the perfect glasses that fit your personality and budget, and after you’ve found the right frames, we’ll fit them with high-tech lenses in our optical lab. Of course, we use an industry-leading contactless measuring system to take your measurements while also respecting social distancing.
One unique area within the Center of Excellence is THE EDGE, a separate space containing edgy, haute couture frames from several high-end designers. These frames can usually only be seen in practices in large cities like New York or Los Angeles. However, Bard Optical brought this unique ever evolving collection to Peoria! Stop in to see frames from Leon Max, Gwen Stefani and many more.
Large Selection of Contacts
The fit, style, and brand of your contacts can directly impact your comfort. This is why we take special care to measure and evaluate your eyes so that we can prescribe the best contacts for your specific needs. We want to make sure you understand the importance of healthy contact lens habits, and how to identify a problem if one arises.
We also want to make sure that you never run out of your contact lenses — we offer convenient ordering through our online contact lens store.
