Hopkins has the feel of a small, walkable town inside a big metro, the kind of place where the dentist, the coffee shop, and the eye doctor all feel like they should be close by. We nearly are. If you are looking for an optometrist in Hopkins, Art of Optiks is about ten minutes east at our 50th & France office, an easy drive down Excelsior Boulevard or Highway 7. We see every age, we keep room for same-day eye problems, and we have done this since 2001. New patients are always welcome.

What to Expect From an Optometrist in Hopkins
A good exam takes a little time and looks at more than your prescription. Your optometrist reviews your history and your vision, measures your prescription, and then examines the eye itself with retinal imaging and an optic nerve assessment. That is where glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease usually turn up first, often before any symptoms.
And since the eye is the one spot a doctor can see your blood vessels directly, a routine eye checkup can flag early signs of diabetes or high blood pressure, too. You will leave knowing what we found, in plain terms.
Most adults are due every one to two years, and yearly for kids, contact lens wearers, and anyone with diabetes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I be seen for a sore or red eye?
Call us, and we will do our best to fit you in the same day. For most eye infections, irritations, and sudden changes, a quick visit to an eye doctor is better than waiting at a general urgent care.

Yes. We provide eye care for every age, from a child’s first exam around age three to ongoing care for adults, so the household can stay with one practice.
How far is your office from Hopkins?
About ten minutes east by way of Excelsior Boulevard or Highway 7 to France Avenue, with free parking when you arrive.
Can I get glasses and contacts from the same visit?
Yes. Your exam can cover both a glasses prescription and a contact lens fitting, and much of the lens work is done in our on-site lab. New contact wearers get hands-on training.

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.
