Pauline Weichler, OD

  • One of my greatest  satisfactions is when patients are happy with how well they see with their new eyewear or contacts, and how well their eyes feel after being treated. I also enjoy helping pick out frames.
  •  I grew up in South Dakota, graduating from the University of South Dakota, and then receiving my doctorate from Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon. Between the two degrees I taught middle school science and math. I gained ten years of experience working at a clinic with several ophthalmologists. I have more respect for business owners after starting Eye Works, Inc., in 2002.  In 2019 we relocated to the freshly remodeled Freed's space at 3645 Sturgis Road Suite 500 and changed the name to Ideal Eyes.  
  •  After hours my pugs and Australian Shepherd keep me company.  (One of the pugs in the picture is in the pouch!)  You may get to meet one or more of them in the office.  I enjoy nature and crafts. I also have an interest in "energy medicine" which uses stretching, acupressure points, etc. to improve health.
