VisionPoint Eye Center is a new practice created from the merging of 4 well-established eye care practices in Bloomington-Normal Illinois. We have 9 Optometrists and 3 General Ophthalmologists who together see 250 patients per day. Our highest volume is primary care, but we see a high volume of ocular disease and have a corneal specialist. We also do specialty contacts. We built a 28,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility to house our new clinic, eyewear boutique and have a billing department on site. In addition to comprehensive eye health exams and ocular disease treatment, we also do LASIK and minor surgeries on site.

Amtrak can provide transportation here and home. The station is a beautiful hub in the middle of Uptown Normal, just 3.5 miles from VisionPoint. https://www.normal.org/1102/Uptown-Station. With ISU located here, many students use it too. 

Learning Objectives:

1) To be real-world, private practice ready - both as a clinician and as a business person.

2) Allow the students to see a wide range of patients and learn how to manage their time, staff, and other resources to be profitable.

3) Learn how ODs and MDs can work together and benefit each other in this ever changing optometric world.
