Holly A.Patient

I feel confident imposing change on myself. It's a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That's why I need to throw curve balls.

Tori M.Patient

This was my first time going to Vision Boutique and they were great! Great selection of eyewear. They have contacts in stock so I was able to get my prescription contacts same day, and they did a great job going through my benefits. The exam was quick, but thorough! Thanks again!
