Eye Associates

On April 3, 2025 I ordered reading glasses with a progressive lens. The progressive lens were new to me. When I picked up the glasses and tried them on they did not feel right. I couldn’t read anything with them unless I held the item I was reading up in the air and lifted my chin up. The Eye Associate representative suggested I try them for a couple of weeks and then decide if they worked for me. He told me that if they did not work that it would be no problem to bring them back and get rid of the progressive lens and simply stick to the reading glasses. After two weeks I knew that the progressive lens was not working for me. I still had to raise up items to read and still lift my chin up. And when I tried to simply look straight out the lens it was a blur vision at any distance. I decide

The new Coralville location is beautiful and conveniently located. The staff is friendly and helpful- Matt is great at helping you pick out frames. Dr Nickolas J. Huisman is a great addition to Eye Associates!

I’ve never written a google review before, but I thought this would be a good place to start. I have a somewhat complicated eye health history, and in previous experiences, I haven’t felt heard or like I was receiving appropriate care. I had an appointment today and I cannot recommend them enough. The secretary, nurse, and Dr. Huisman were all so attentive, kind and diligent! It was an easy process, and they answered all of my questions. As long as I live in the Iowa City area, I will be seeking care from this team.

For years they had a receptionist that should not be doing receptionist work. She is no longer there. Hopefully she found work more appropriate to her personality. Overall, over the last several years, I have had more positive experiences than negative. Good optometrist care. Frames and lenses are pricey but this is not unusual.

I’ve been going to this eye doctor for 30+ years now & I couldn’t imagine having any other eye doctor. Dr. Weihe is very attentive & easy to talk to. He remembers your medical history & has helpful input & recommendations. His staff is great too! They are friendly & their attention to detail helps the process go smooth
