With our state-of-the-art technology, we are able to diagnose eye diseases faster, earlier, and more reliably than ever before, which helps maximize your sight and prevents vision loss.
Our doctors have met with and observed many surgeons and tracked the vision outcomes of surgery done on their patients by a number of laser models and surgeons/surgery centers in Minnesota. To help assist you through the maze of LASIK ads and information, we offer free refractive surgery seminars for you to learn more about the risks, benefits and costs.
Your overall health and the health of your eyes is very important to us. Comprehensive eye exams can detect eye conditions early so they can be treated or managed before they affect your vision. Many eye problems have no symptoms, so it is important to get regular eye care.
The American Optometric Association recommends having eye exams at the following times for those who do not have vision problems or who are not at risk of having vision problems.Cataracts are caused when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy and opaque. This limits the amount and clarity of light entering the eye.

Made appointment was told one time then arrived and was told I didn't have an appointment at that time, so I rescheduled for a week later. Called day before to confirm date and time. Show up for appointment and am told they no longer accept my insurance?!?! REALLY?? You couldn't of told me that the first time? Two days of wasted time. My business has been taken else where now.

Visiting from out-of-town a few weeks ago and I woke up with horrible pain in my eye. I called Eye Clinic North and Dr. Sipola squeezed me into his busy schedule. Dr. Sipola was thorough and diagnosed me with a corneal abrasion. He prescribed some drops and put a special contact lens on my eye which made me instantly feel better. I highly recommend this office. Very professional, courteous, and accommodating when I had an emergency. I can’t thank Dr. Sipola enough.
