For over 80 years... we’ve been caring for the vision of our community
At Collin & Kirk Optometrists we pride ourselves on providing quality eye care, delivering quality service and establishing quality relationships.
Our patients have come to appreciate our use of up to date technology and diagnostic tools to ensure precise and comprehensive eye care.
This tradition has continued under the leadership of our Principal Optometrist, Richard Vojlay.
Every patient walks out of Collin & Kirk knowing that they have had the best of service and a positive experience.
