FAMILY EYE EXAMS IN FARGO
One eye doctor for the whole family. Lumen Vision is a family optometry practice in Fargo, North Dakota, where every member of your household — from six-month-old infants through grandparents — can be seen by the same trusted team. We accept most medical and vision insurance plans, schedule back-to-back family appointments, and provide care that grows with your family for decades.
Our practice is anchored by Dr. Ryan Capouch, FOVDR, a fellowship-trained pediatric and developmental optometrist, alongside Dr. Joy Quitberg. Together, we offer the rare combination of true pediatric specialty expertise and full-spectrum adult eye care in a single location.
Why families choose Lumen Vision
-
Most "family" eye clinics are general optometry offices that happen to see kids. Lumen Vision is the other way around — a pediatric specialty practice that also serves adults beautifully. Dr. Ryan Capouch holds the FOVDR fellowship from the international certifying body for pediatric and developmental optometry, a credential held by fewer than 1% of optometrists nationwide.
-
Babies start with us at six months through the free InfantSEE program. School-age kids get comprehensive exams that catch the vision-related learning issues a school screening misses. Teens who need contact lenses are fit by the same doctor who watched them grow up. Parents get thorough adult exams between work meetings. Grandparents get continuity of care for cataracts, dry eye, and age-related eye health. All in one office.
-
We schedule back-to-back family appointments so you're in and out in one or two trips. Online booking takes 60 seconds. Insurance estimates take five minutes. Our office at 5120 Prosperity Way South is easy to find with plenty of parking, and our kid-friendly waiting area means siblings actually want to come along.
Eye care for every stage of life
Babies and toddlers (birth - 4 years)
1
The first eye exam happens earlier than most parents realize — six months old. We participate in InfantSEE, the program that provides free comprehensive eye assessments for babies regardless of insurance. Learn more on our pediatric eye exams page.
School-age children (5 - 17 years)
2
Reading struggles, headaches, and "behavior issues" at school often have a vision root cause that a school screening will miss. Our pediatric eye exams evaluate the visual skills required for learning. For kids whose nearsightedness keeps getting worse, our myopia management program can slow progression by up to 60%.
Adults (18 - 64 years)
3
A comprehensive adult eye exam is more than a vision check. We evaluate eye health, screen for glaucoma and macular degeneration, check the retina with Optomap imaging (no dilation in most cases), and assess for dry eye and digital eye strain. See our adult eye exams page for what to expect.
Seniors (65+)
4
Annual eye exams become essential after 65 — the years when cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma most commonly emerge. We co-manage cataract surgery and ongoing care with the region's top ophthalmology surgeons.
Specialty Services
Here are a few specialty services families come to us for.
-
A treatment program for kids and adults whose eyes don't work together properly. Often the missing piece for kids labeled "lazy" or "distracted" at school.
-
FDA-approved treatments — including MiSight contact lenses, Stellest Lenses, orthokeratology, and atropine therapy — that slow childhood nearsightedness from getting worse.
-
For adults whose eyes burn, water, or feel gritty, especially after screen time.
-
For patients who have been told they "can't wear contacts" — often, they actually can.
-
Pre- and post-operative care for LASIK, cataract surgery, and other eye procedures, in coordination with the surgeon.

Continuity of care across generations.

Chain opticals are optimized for transactions; a family practice is optimized for relationships and long-term eye health.
