Established in 1972.

Dr. Smith & Associates provide state of the art, full-scope optometric services, utilizing a wide range of products and skills — some exclusive — to all who are in need of professional eye care.
Our vision examination will determine your best vision correction. We will screen for significant systemic and ocular diseases such as glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, cataracts, eye infections and other treatable and preventable visual conditions.
