Advanced Family Eye Care has been serving the Cedar Valley with leading eye care since 1979. With convenient locations in Independence and Waterloo, we also service Cedar Falls and surrounding areas. In addition to fitting you with the right prescription, our eye doctors dig deep to assess your overall eye health.

Some common conditions that are found through an eye exam are glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts. We also look for signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart issues, clotting factors, cholesterol changes, and even cancers. If our optometrists notice any of those things, we communicate with your primary care provider so we can help treat them together.

Vision therapy is a type of physical therapy for the eyes and brain. It is a highly effective treatment for many common visual problems such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, convergence insufficiency and some reading and learning disabilities. When treating learning disabilities, vision therapy is specifically directed toward resolving visual problems which interfere with reading, learning and educational instruction.
Every year there are more and more contacts to choose from. The technology is always changing for the better. Here at Advanced Family Eye Care we fit contacts for people of all ages. We specialize each fit to the patient to give them the most comfort and best vision at the best price.

Dr. Boyle and staff are first class when it comes to patient care. Convenient locations in Independence and Cedar Falls. There is no better optometrist in the Greater Cedar Valley for families than Dr. Boyle!

From the moment I scheduled the appointment the staff was absolutely amazing. Paige and Brad took time to answer all my questions in great detail and work with us. This was our first visit and when we walked in the door the service was amazing. My son was nervous about his first visit and was quickly over those nerves due to the friendliness of the staff, they explained everything to us and helped us figure out what we needed to help. Advanced Family Eye Care made getting glasses fun for my son, he is excited for his glasses and can’t wait to return to the eye doctors!!

I’ve been wearing glasses since the age of 12. Dr. Boyle and his staff are hands down the best I have experienced. Everyone at the office greets you with a smile and makes your visit quick and pleasant! Ordering my contacts was painless and I received them in record time. Thanks Dr. Boyle and the rest of the Advanced Family Eye Care staff for being the best at what you do!

I was wondering if the 40 mile round-trip was going to be worth it to follow Dr. Boyle. It certainly was the staff was very friendly and professional and very helpful and fun picking out new frames I enjoyed my visit.
