Central Dakota Eyecare has been providing comprehensive eyecare and optical services in central South Dakota since 1980. We are currently a four doctor practice seeing 60-70 patients/day.

Our technology currently includes multiple auto-refractors and tonometers, Optos, Antares+ Multi-functional topographer, Cirrus 4000 OCT, Optilight IPL, and a virtual visual field.
