Dr. Manard is out of office!
He’s spending some time at the Vision Source Exchange conference learning about the latest and greatest in the eye care industry. We are always working hard to stay up to date to provide the best care possible for our patients!

Is your vision good enough to find our name on the wall?? 👀

Did you catch the Artemis II astronauts sporting their Silhouette glasses?

NASA has chosen Silhouette for astronauts since 2000 for their iconic light weight and durability.

We’re happy to offer the same high quality eyewear to our patients!

It is with heavy hearts we share the news of Dr. James A. Poland’s passing.

Dr. Jim was a pioneer in eye care. He dedicated 53 years to caring for patients. He volunteered much of his time serving on boards and leading organizations committed to advancing our profession, achieving many accolades along the way. He was truly a pillar of the community. We feel deeply privileged and honored to carry on a small piece of his legacy, and extend our deepest condolences to the Poland family.

If you were a previous patient of Dr. Jim’s, we would love for you to share your fondest memories with us!

View James A. Poland's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
