Eden Prairie is a working city. With C.H. Robinson and Optum headquartered here, and UnitedHealth Group moving in, a huge share of the day is spent in front of a screen, and tired, dry, strained eyes come with the territory. If you are looking for an optometrist in Eden Prairie who treats that seriously and does the rest of your eye care thoroughly, Art of Optiks is about fifteen to twenty minutes northeast at our 50th & France office, an easy run up I-494 to France Avenue. We have been doing this since 2001, and we are taking new patients.

Eye Care Services for Eden Prairie Patients
From a routine eye exam to specialty work, we cover the full range:
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
For vision and eye health.
Pediatric Eye Care
For infants, children, and teens.
Vision Therapy
For eye teaming, tracking, and focus.
Contact Lens Fittings
Including toric, multifocal, scleral, hybrid, RGP, and Ortho-K.
Corneal Refractive Therapy
For non-surgical vision correction during sleep.
LASIK Consultations
To review whether you are a good candidate.
Pre and Post-Surgical Eye Care
Before and after surgery.
Ocular Disease Management
For glaucoma, dry eye, and macular degeneration.
Urgent Care Services
For eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes.
Two reasons people make the drive in particular: dry eye and screen-related strain, which we actually work up rather than wave off, and contact lenses for eyes that have been called hard to fit. A second opinion before LASIK is also a common reason to come see a fresh eye doctor.
What to Expect From an Optometrist in Eden Prairie
The thing that sets a careful exam apart is time. Your optometrist starts with your history and your vision, measures your prescription, then examines the eye itself with retinal imaging and an optic nerve assessment, which is how we screen for glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease before symptoms appear.
Because the eye is the one place a doctor can see your blood vessels directly, the exam can also reveal early signs of diabetes or high blood pressure. You leave understanding what we found and what, if anything, to do next.
Most adults are due for an eye checkup every one to two years, and yearly if you wear contacts, have diabetes, or have a family history of eye disease.
Why Choose Art of Optiks
Art of Optiks is an independent, doctor-owned eye clinic, founded in 2001 by Timothy Haupert, OD, and Stephanie Haenes, ABOC. Because our optometrists, Dr. Timothy Haupert and Dr. Victoria Whitman, answer to patients rather than a corporate schedule, the visit moves at the pace your eyes need, with an eye doctor who explains what they see in plain language. For people coming from Eden Prairie, that is usually the point: it is worth choosing one practice for the harder things.
- Board-certified optometrists who diagnose and manage eye conditions, not just run a screening
- Retinal imaging in routine exams to track your eye health year over year
- An in-house lab and on-site technicians for precise lenses and faster turnaround on many orders

Frequently Asked Questions
My eyes are dry and tired from screens all day. Is that something you treat?
Yes. Digital eye strain and dry eye are among the most common reasons people come in, and we look at the underlying cause rather than just suggesting drops. You will leave with an actual plan.
Is it worth driving past closer options?
For a quick prescription check, your nearest counter is fine. The fifteen to twenty-minute trip tends to pay off when you want an unhurried exam, a specialty contact lens fit, ongoing eye disease care, or a second opinion.
Can you fit contacts if I have been told I am hard to fit?
Often, yes. Astigmatism, presbyopia, dry eyes, and irregular corneas all have lens options now, including toric, multifocal, scleral, hybrid, and RGP designs, and we train new wearers before they leave.
Can I book just a second opinion before LASIK?
Yes. You are welcome to come in for a fresh, thorough look and an honest read on your options, with no pressure either way.
Do you accept vision insurance?
Yes. We are in network with VSP, EyeMed, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medica, HealthPartners, and UnitedHealthcare, and open access for most plans, including Davis and Spectera. Call (612) 440-2020 to confirm your benefits.
