Vestal Eye Care

Vestal Eye Care Associates is an optometry practice in Vestal, NY, located on Front Street. Established over fifty years ago as the first eye care practice in Vestal, it serves patients of all ages with eye examinations, contact lens fitting, medical treatment of eye disease, and pre- and post-operative care. The practice is staffed by Dr. Ronald Meeker and Dr. Heidi Ying, and the optical is run by an experienced licensed optician who helps patients select from a wide variety of designer frames. CareCredit is accepted to help finance medical visits, eye examinations, glasses, and contact lenses, and most insurance plans are accepted. The practice holds a rating of 4.00 based on customer reviews.

The practice offers soft and gas permeable contact lenses, including astigmatic, aspheric, tinted, colored, bifocal, and monovision designs, and fits lenses from manufacturers such as Vistakon (Acuvue), Bausch and Lomb, Ciba, CooperVision, Hydrogel Vision, Paragon Vision, and Polymer Technology (Boston). Both optometrists are certified to detect and treat glaucoma to the fullest extent allowed in New York State, and Dr. Ying is a graduate of the State University of New York at Geneseo and the SUNY State College of Optometry, having practiced in the Southern Tier since 2000 and joined Vestal Eye Care Associates in the winter of 2004. InfantSEE exams are offered at no charge during a baby's first year of life, and the practice treats eye infections and emergencies while co-managing surgical procedures. Office hours run Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 to 6:00, Wednesday through Friday from 8:00 to 5:00, and the office is closed on Saturdays and daily from 12:00 to 1:00 for lunch.

The practice sits about a tenth of a mile from Memorial Park and roughly a fifth of a mile from the Southern Tier Expressway, with Vestal Parkway West and Vestal Parkway East both within a short walk and Vestal Fire Station #1 nearby.

As Vestal's first optometry practice, Vestal Eye Care Associates has served the community for over fifty years, building a reputation for thorough, personalized eye care for patients of every age.
