Uptown Eye Care is a full service optometry office. We serve patients as young as 6 months of age through the InfantSee public health initiative. We provide routine eye exams for children and adults. We perform contact lens fittings, monitor ocular disease conditions and do low vision evaluations. We have an optical boutique on site with a large selection of eyewear. In the near future, we will even be able to edge many of your single vision lenses in house, providing same day service and for your glasses and the ultimate convenience for you!
Many offices schedule patients every 10-15 minutes. You come in and out with unanswered questions, and feel like you didn't get the care you deserve. We are different at Uptown Eye Care. We schedule plenty of time for your visit with us. When you are in our office, you are the most important person at that moment and we focus completely on your needs. We have taken every measure to make sure the office is appealing, and comfortable while you are there. We have updated to state of the art technology to allow us to give you the best exam possible.
Dr. Bauder has a passion for helping all people see better, including those with low vision. Nothing is as rewarding as giving someone the ability to see and function when they were hopeless. Low vision examinations are for those with moderate to severe vision impairments that cannot be improved by traditional methods of glasses and contact lenses. The exam focuses on the patient's activities of daily living and struggles that their vision loss brings. After a short vision assessment, Dr. Bauder demonstrates many different optical devices and allows the patient to find the style that best suits his or her unique needs.
You find the perfect stylish frame, and the prescription is crisp. But, after wearing your glasses for a few months, you find they have loosened up....Or perhaps your toddler got ahold of them and they are no longer straight. Don't fret--Simply drop in any time during our regular business hours and our optician will be happy to assist you to make sure your glasses are comfortably fitted to your face, or make any necessary repairs. If we cannot repair them due to the extent of damage, we are often able to replace your glasses under warranty.
Contact lenses are a modern luxury that so many of our patients are able to experience. We fit both soft and gas permeable lenses in a range of modalities including single use and multiple use lenses, daily wear and extended wear. Did you try contacts in the past but couldn't adapt? There are new materials and brands of lenses every year as technology continues to improve. Ask us about improvements since your last fitting and consider giving it another try. You may be surprised! We will also soon offer convenient online ordering with competitive pricing through our website.

Our optical boutique is fully stocked with a wide range of frames for every style and every budget. We have over 750 frames in our inventory and it changes continuously. We will be continuing to add more unique and independent lines soon to offer you an even better selection. Our experienced, knowledgeable optician will complete a lifestyle questionnaire with you and find out what your specific needs are. You will be able to try on a wide variety of frames to find the pair that complements your face shape, is comfortable to wear and accents your personal style. There are so many lens designs, coatings and lens materials that it can be overwhelming. Our opticians are not commissioned and only want what is best for you. You will be educated on all the options available to you, but never pressured to make a purchase. That's not our style! The focus is always on YOU at Uptown Eye Care, and your happiness with your exam and materials are of the utmost importance to us.
