Services
We also accept Care Credit - the simple way to pay for your healthcare needs. With many special financing options, you can avoid paying interest by making minimum monthly payments and paying the full amount due by the end of the promotional period. If you have any questions, please call and discuss your insurance coverage with someone on our staff.
Come in for a set of trials in your prescription - we can do one day lenses for single vision, multi-focal use, and even astigmatism! They are made of a high-tech material which allows up to six times the level of oxygen to reach your eyes, compared to the other popular lenses! This is a great way to minimize the impact of wear schedules in your life.
Dr Thieme is certified to fit the new MiSight contact lenses which have been shown to reduce progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. This is a revolutionary lens which has been shown to be a safe and effective way to reduce the amount of myopia in growing youth.
After three years, the study concluded the lens effectively slowed myopia progression by an average of 59% and slowed the rate at which the eye lengthens by an average of 52% compared to children in the control group wearing a single-vision 1-day lens.If you recall going to the eye doctor as a youth, and your eyes getting worse every year, you can help your child have a better future by the time they reach adulthood.

Cataract Surgery is necessary for many patients who develop this "clouding of the lens" within the eye. Your cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a new lens. Lasik is the most accurate, advanced procedure to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. Dr Thieme has been involved in the care of eye surgery patients since 1994, and has the experience and training to help you make the right decision.
Coordinated care between your family eye doctor and your LASIK surgeon ensures the best result for your eyes. You have probably heard about wavefront technology, and bladeless LASIK. Come in and talk to Dr. Thieme about whether that is a good choice for you. Know your options and what the outcome is likely to be before you commit to a laser eye procedure.

This is the second eye doctor I’ve tried in this valley and was so very pleased with absolutely everything that I will call it my permanent optometrist office. The assistant was professional, knowledgeable, kind and kept the appointment moving along. The optometrist did his own exam and prescription for my eyes rather than having a tech do it. I appreciated that so very much. The other place I went to had a tech do my prescription and it was way off resulting in unusable glasses.
Another plus for Meridian Family Eyecare is their large selection of frames. I was able to easily find ones that

My son and I couldn't be happier with this practice and the people that work there. We had a wonderful experience with great staff, a cozy atmosphere that was clean and had really exciting Star wars decor and Legos that my son enjoyed. We were in and out of there within half an hour with eye exams, meeting with the doctor to get the prescription as well as the perfect pair of glasses picked out from there selection. Great eye Care all around. Thank you guys! See you soon for the glasses pick up :-) -Chahalis and Hunter

Always pleasant atmosphere, a family business that really cares about people. Last year my family was visiting and needed help with their glasses, they looked after my son in law with no charge. My visit today was my annual check, all was well, but the Dr. was very thorough and advised me of how to care for my dry eyes.
Everyone is so pleasant there.

I have been going here for 4 years now and this is by far the best eye establishment I've ever been to. It's family friendly with a homey relaxing atmosphere. The staff are absolutely phenomenal, kind and efficient. If I ever move, they will be hard to beat. Thank you MFE for all the care you've shown.

I took my 5 year old son here for his very first eye exam. He was super nervous leading up to the experience. They made his experience so easy. He was calm and seemed to be at ease. What could have been a difficult visit for him ended so well because of the amazing, kind, patient team at Meridian Family Eyecare!
