Optometrist in Brooklyn Center, MN

Whether the patient is five or seventy-five, the visit starts the same way: a look at your history and your vision, then a measurement of your prescription.

From there, your optometrist examines the health of the eye with retinal imaging and an optic nerve assessment, which is how we catch glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease, often well before you would notice anything is wrong.

Because the back of the eye gives a direct view of your blood vessels, a routine eye checkup can even flag early signs of diabetes or high blood pressure. You leave knowing what we found and what to do about it. Most adults are due every one to two years, while kids, contact lens wearers, and anyone with diabetes do better with a yearly visit.

Art of Optiks is an independent, doctor-owned eye clinic, founded in 2001 by Timothy Haupert, OD, and Stephanie Haenes, ABOC. For Brooklyn Center families, the appeal is simple: our optometrists, Dr. Timothy Haupert and Dr. Victoria Whitman, set their own pace, so a kid’s nervous first exam and a parent’s complicated prescription both get the time they need from the same eye doctor.

• Board-certified optometrists who manage real eye conditions, not just hand out prescriptions
• Retinal imaging in routine exams, so we can track a child’s developing eyes and an adult’s eye health year to year
• An in-house lab with on-site technicians for precise lenses and faster turnaround, which matters when a kid breaks their glasses
• A curated eyewear collection, including frames sized and styled for younger faces
• A 4.9-star rating across more than 200 Google reviews

We are in-network with VSP, EyeMed, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medica, HealthPartners, and UnitedHealthcare, and offer open access for most plans, including Davis and Spectera. Call, and we will check your benefits before you come in.
