Expert Eye Care From Lenscrafters Optometrists

Caring for the Vision of Blaine and Saint Cloud, MN

Conveniently located inside Lenscrafters in Blaine, MN, and Saint Cloud, MN, our optometrist at Dr. Krietlow & Associates believes getting the right prescription for your eyeglasses or contact lenses is an important part of good eye care. But seeing clearly is just one part of your overall eye exam. It’s also important to have regular eye exams to check your overall eye health whether or not you wear eyeglasses or contacts, and even if your vision seems sharp.

Dr. K: A very competent, knowledgeable and personable eye care professional. I have been seeing Dr. K for a few years now and can say without hesitation that he’s fantastic. I am very satisfied with the services he provides. During my last visit we talked a bit about my work and he recommended that I get glasses specially to wear when working with a Blue IQ coating (I sit in front of computer screens 8-10 hours a day). Based on Dr. K’s recommendation, I did buy a second set of glasses just for work. Since my eyesight had improved a bit over the last year, I felt like I might be wasting money on something that may not make much of a difference. My skepticism could not have been more misplaced. The lenses he recommended with the Blue IQ coating made a huge improvement for me. Since I use three screens with my computer, Dr. K also asked how I had them arranged. After hearing about my workspace, he made a recommendation on how I should place my screens to have the correct distance from my eyes. Following his suggestion I was able to rearrange and optimize my work space to further improve my work life. If you go to see Dr. K I am sure he’ll do a great job for you too!
