Valley Eyecare & Eyewear Gallery Celebrating Five Year Anniversary

Five years ago, Dr. Somer Lyons opened the doors of a small optometric practice with only a couple hundred patients.With the addition of the most incredible staff and the most advanced technology, Valley Eyecare & Eyewear Gallery now meets the eye health needs of more than three thousand patients.

“A lot has changed in five years, but our commitment to providing quality care has not. I’m proud that we have been successful in achieving and maintaining our mission: to help eliminate preventable vision loss and blindness,” notes Dr. Lyons. “As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, I’d like to thank the Carson Valley community for your support over the years.”

You’re invited to join Valley Eyecare & Eyewear Gallery’s tenth anniversary celebration on Thursday, December 5 from 4 - 6 p.m. There will be office tours, refreshments and door prizes. In addition, those attending will also receive a $20 savings certificate which can be used on any service or material purchase.



Can't make it to the party?  Swing on by in December anyway.  We are having a great frame sale.  And, as always, all of our eyewear is backed by our exclusive Two-Year Frame and Lens Warranty.

Thanks for making Valley Eyecare & Eyewear Gallery part of your family and we hope to see you at the celebration.

Kenya or Bust!

Eyecare has to be one of the best professions to be in.  We get to know that lives are improved by the care people receive in our office.  Our optician is about to take his skills in the profession to Kenya.  Terrance was among several candidates that applied for a grant provided by Eyes of Faith to serve on a Mission trip to Kenya this October and was selected as the winner.  We couldn't be more excited!  Eyes of Faith Optical, Fellowship of Christian Optometrists and Sight Ministries are putting together a team to head to Kenya to provide glasses to a population that would otherwise not be able to receive vision correction.  We can't wait to hear about his experiences helping people see and demonstrating Christ's love!  More details about the grant and trip are included in this article.
