Our optical team can assist all patients in finding eyewear that meets vision and lifestyle needs. We offer eyeglass frames and sunglasses from an array of brands including, but not limited to: Ray Ban, Oakley, Tiffany, Coach, Michael Kors, Maui Jim, and Wiley X. Not only do we strive to provide impeccable patient care to everyone who walks in our doors, but all of our staff are trained in the Essilor Expert Program to ensure top-notch lens selection for all patients. We are also one of the only optometrists in the state of South Dakota who boast dry eye treatment and diagnosis through the latest technologies such as Lipiflow, Oculus Keratograph 5M, and more.

Our Rapid City eye doctors, Philip eye doctors, and staff are committed to helping our communities achieve and maintain clear and healthy vision for years to come.

Why are we different ?

What a great experience. Nice office staff and VERY thorough eye exam. They take complex subjects and make them understandable. They always take time explaining all the options and their effectiveness.

We have been patients of Dr Pearson’s for several years and today really reiterated why. Erin was my son’s tech and she immediately put him at ease and it felt like we have known each other our whole lives! She’s the most knowledgeable and patient tech we have had the pleasure of working with. Later, after picking out new frames Kendra offered to take the measurements saving us quite a bit of time.

The staff was professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Dawn Wattenhofer was especially helpful with overall health concerns. I had a special therapy for dry eyes and am very encouraged with the results. I highly recommend Vision Source, Dr. Wattenhofer, and her staff!

Dr Pearson and staff are AWESOME. Been a patient of his for at least 8 years and I seriously can't recommend Dr Pearson enough! Very efficient office, genuine concern for me as his patient, and he's a great listener that takes the time to make sure he understands my needs. His staff is the same way! Thanks for the great service!!

This is the best place to go if you have very bad eyes, like mine. They are very thoughtful and truly care about the way you see.

I had an eye issue over the weekend. Left a text Monday morning asking to see Dr. Wattenhofer ASAP. They called before they even opened to set up an early morning appointment. I was seen by their quick and efficient staff, and the explanations from Dr. Wattenhofer are ALWAYS so thorough, as was the examination. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Vision Source Specialists!!!!!
