Kids & Family

Exam rooms kids actually ask to come back to.

Our pediatric care is led by Dr. Amy Keller, an InfantSEE provider who has taught eye health to more than 13,000 Ohio students. Every doctor here sees kids, and the rooms were designed for them on purpose.

  • First exams as young as 6 months
  • Myopia control that slows kids’ nearsightedness: ortho-k, MiSight, and atropine
  • Kids’ frames fitted, adjusted, and repaired in-office

Specialty Contact Lenses

Hard-to-fit eyes? That’s our favorite kind.

Keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, severe dry eye, high prescriptions: when standard contacts won’t work, Dr. Karres designs WAVE scleral and fully custom lenses around your eye’s exact shape. Patients travel from across Ohio for fits they couldn’t get anywhere else.

  • Scleral lenses for keratoconus and irregular corneas
  • Ortho-k lenses worn overnight, so you see clearly all day
  • Custom soft, gas permeable, and multifocal fits

The COVE difference

A neighborhood practice, not a chain.

1

The same doctors, every visit

Drs. Karres, Keller, and Dennis practice here, in one office, on purpose. You’ll be greeted by name.

2

Specialty lens depth you won’t find nearby

Dr. Karres personally designs WAVE scleral lenses for complex corneas, backed by a research history at OSU’s College of Optometry.

3

Your glasses may never leave the building

Our in-house lab cuts, edges, and inspects your lenses. Faster turnaround, quality we check ourselves.

4

Insurance, handled kindly

VSP and EyeMed in-network, major medical plans accepted, and our COVE Plus plan if you’re uninsured.
