Welcome to Shippee Family Eye Care

When you’re looking for quality eye care and optometry services in Montpelier, VT, Lancaster, NH, St. Johnsbury, VT, or the surrounding areas, Shippee Family Eye Care is here for you and your family.

As a qualified team of optometrist professionals with four locations, we proudly serve several communities and aim to make eye care as convenient and easy to access for our patients as possible. 

Who We Are

At Shippee Family Eye Care, we are a dedicated team of optometrist professionals working in four convenient locations in New England with one single vision: to get our patients’ eyes back in top condition. 

How Do We Help Our Patients?

At our clinics, we cover a wide range of services to suit your individual needs. From standard eye health checkups to comprehensive optical exams, we can delve as deep as we need into your eye health to resolve your vision problems. If you have an existing eye condition or we discover a new eye condition such as dry eye, we are happy to help prescribe a proper course of treatment to meet your needs. 

When you come to one of our four offices for a comprehensive eye exam, you will be able to receive testing for clarity of vision. This way, we can determine whether your sight is as clear as it ought to be. During the exam, we may discover refractive vision errors. Common refractive vision errors include nearsightedness, astigmatism, and farsightedness. If you have any of these conditions, we’ll be able to help your vision get better by prescribing the proper corrective contact lenses or glasses. 

With plenty of experience, our eye doctors are qualified to detect early warning signs of eye diseases so we can catch eye conditions before they become worse. From routine eye exams to vision therapy to pediatric eye care and beyond, we are a full-service optometry office that can get your vision back to where you want it to be. Once you’ve had your exam and prescription, you don’t have to go somewhere else to get your glasses. We have an expansive array of top-notch eyewear in-house that fits all sorts of prescriptions and styles.
