This rating is for my first visit at this location, which occurred 11/15/2021. I thought all staff I... encountered were pleasant, helpful, and courteous. In addition, Dr. Lauermann was professional and knowledgeable, two important things for any doctor. Thank you Dr. Lauermann and the CG Eye Clinic team!

The staff was amazing and friendly. I worked in particular with Alissa, the first time I came in I a... lways had trouble finding glasses that look good on me. Alissa was very understanding and did an amazing job at finding the perfect pair for me. The two other times I have been there since then Alissa has given amazing service as with the rest of the staff. I highly recommend going here!!

I had my eyes evaluated (first time in 4 years). I could afford the frames that I liked. Amber wrote... down the name of the frames and the dimensions for me to take home. I ended up purchasing my glasses online. Once I received them my eyes could not focus. I did not know if I received the wrong prescription, I entered the Rx wrong, or if they manufactured my lenses incorrectly. I called Cottage Grove Eye Care Clinic to ask some questions. I thought that I would get some "shame" for not getting my lenses/frames with them. Amber was AMAZING! She offered some advice then offered for me to come in. She checked what I ordered, chechecked my Rx, and she checked my lenses. She was so incredibly helpful! I will continue with that clinic just because of her!

I saw Dr Herde today! He and his staff are very friendly, personable, professional, and efficient. ... My husband also sees him and likes all of the staff especially in the Woodbury location.

My daughters and I see Dr. Cole for our vision exams. When we walk through the doors we are greeted... with smiles and addressed by name. Dr. Cole is very nice and friendly. He is compassionate, caring, listens well, along with being dedicated and determined to help improve our vision. Additionally, Dr. Cole cares about the people in the community and about Cottage Grove, by being involved and giving back. He has served on committees, given his time and resources to organizations within the community as well. Thank you Dr. Cole and wonderful staff for taking care of us.

I've been seeing Dr. Cole since I was 13, I'm 28 now, and he's been awesome. He knows about my weird... eyeballs and takes good care of them. I would recommend Dr. Cole, he's awesome and very cool and kind.

I am a dentist working at the same building. I get my eye care at this eye clinic and see Dr. Cole.... I lost a screw on my loupes eyeglasses and I needed to start seeing patients! The nice lady that helped me was very understanding and fixed it up for me in 5 minutes and said there was no charge for it. I told her she was a lifesaver! 🙂 I went about my day happy to have my loupes back and happy to see my patients.

We had just moved to Cottage Grove a few months ago and I had not taken the time to find a new eye d... octor yet. When I tore my last pair of contacts, I needed to get in somewhere immediately. Not only were they extremely accommodating, they also accepted Tricare (which many places do not). Jenn was very helpful and even called me after my initial scheduling to tell me they had a cancellation for an earlier day/time, knowing it was important I get in right away! I cannot say enough good things about the Cottage Grove office. I will be referring them to everyone I know.

We’ve been coming to Cottage Grove Eye Care Clinic for several years. I love the fact that we can ... typically get into an urgent same day appointment. That flexibility is nice with kids. There is also a contact number if you have an eye emergency after hours. Dr. Cole and his staff have always treated us with respect. They go above and beyond to help us find frames. Selection is somewhat limited. But between the three stores (Woodbury, Oakdale, and Cottage Grove) I have always found something great! My kids are notorious for breaking glasses, and they have always given us a one-time replacement within the first year, if needed. Ana and the front desk staff are tremendous. I have never had a bad experience here! I highly recommend Cottage Grove Eye Care Clinic for your entire family!

I found this clinic when my family moved to CG about 5 years ago. The doctors are fantastic and wil... ling to work with you. The staff are so kind and truly care about you as a person. There are no hidden fees, they are very honest and upfront about charges etc. It has been a wonderful experience. I plan on bringing my 4 year old son in a few weeks!

Myopia Management FAQs

What is myopia management?

Myopia management uses certain treatments and technologies to slow or even halt your child's myopia progression. Our myopia control program in Cottage Grove is unique as we have the latest technology and experience to ensure your child's vision remains stable and healthy for years to come.

Is myopia management necessary?

Myopia is more than just poor vision. Childhood myopia raises the risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts. Speak to your eye doctor about the best ways to minimize your child’s risk.

At what age does myopia (nearsightedness) usually start?

Myopia can begin as early as 6 and will usually progress until roughly age 20. The longer it progresses, and the higher the prescription, the greater your child’s risk of sight-threatening eye conditions later in life.

When should my child start myopia management?

For optimal results, myopia management should be started as soon as possible. That said, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.
