5 Reasons why it is great to see an Eye Doctor located inside Walmart

1. Emergency Eye Care
Available when you need it.

2. The optometrist inside your local Walmart is a highly trained eye doctor.
Some people have the misconception that the eye doctor working in the Walmart Vision Center started  by unpacking boxes in the back of the store, may have been promoted to cashier, and then took the job as eye doctor in the Walmart Vision Center. This is not true. The eye doctors that work in the Walmart Vision Center are trained doctors of optometry. Your eye doctor inside of a Walmart Vision Center went to the same colleges of optometry, took the same classes, past the same state and national boards as private practice doctors.

3. The optometrist in you local Walmart Vision Center provides pure eye-care.
No one is going to try and sell you on glasses or lenses that you do not need. The optometrists inside of the Walmart Vision Center are independent of Walmart and receive no incentive or pressure to sell eyewear or contact lenses. This allows the doctor to recommend what’s best for you.

4. Top Technology
Doctors located within Walmart have less overhead costs so they can invest in the latest technology. Many, like Dr. Bourjolly, have equipment that doctors in private practice cannot invest in. This advanced equipment allows the doctors to detect conditions early to help prevent loss of vision.

5. Trained in the detection and management of eye diseases.
Your eye doctor located within a Walmart treats and manages diseases such as diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, dry eyes, as well as providing routine eye exams and contact lens fittings. They will keep your primary care doctor aware of any eye conditions you have.

Plus bonus!  Doctors located within Walmart accept both Medical and Vision Plans and will help you understand your benefits.
