Boynton’s eye clinic provides eye exams, eye injury and disease treatment, and contact lens fitting and follow-up care.

Most students who pay the Student Services Fee receive one eye exam per year at no cost after the bill has been sent to insurance (excludes exam for contact lenses). See Health Care Coverage page for coverage details.

To schedule an appointment, call the Eye Clinic at (612) 624-2134. If you'd like, you may view the next available appointment at the Eye Clinic online. Sorry, we do not offer online appointment scheduling at this time.

Frame Shop

No appointment is needed to see an optician to order eyeglasses. Just bring your current prescription to the eye clinic and select from a wide variety of designer frames, available at 20-40% off suggested retail prices. For more info, call the Frame Shop at 612-624-2107.
