Does the Fond du Lac location accept walk-ins?

Do I need to make a kids eye exam for my child entering kindergarten?
Yes, your child needs to get a comprehensive pediatric eye exam before starting kindergarten. You can schedule this through one of our Wisconsin Vision locations, or use our online scheduling tool. Contact us today if you have any questions.
Could my child’s eyesight be what’s affecting them in school?
Your child’s vision could be a factor in what is affecting them in school. Kids don’t always know or have the ability to explain if they are having a hard time seeing. Keeping up with routine eye exams is important in detecting vision problems and making treatments more effective.
Does Wisconsin Vision’s Fond du Lac location offer Telehealth services?
We are working on implementing Telehealth capabilities at all our Wisconsin Vision locations. Telehealth eye exams are coming soon to our Fond du Lac location.
