Welcome to Southside Eyecare & Optical

Dr. Nyboer began practice in 1976 with a passion to bring the best and most advanced eye care to the people of Alaska. Always interested in the latest research for clinical application of new designs and products, Dr. Nyboer performed the first LASIK in Alaska and continues to stay current with the newest devices and treatments. Dr. Nyboer no longer sees patients, but continues to be the inspiration for Southside. On a personal note, he misses seeing his longtime patients, but has faith that Dr Stemmle and Dr Lamigo will provide them with the best of care.

Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross, Aetna, Federal & most major insurances welcome. If you have VSP and heard that we are now out of network, give us a call to find out what your out-of-pocket cost will really be. You can still use your vision benefits here. You may be surprised that it's not a big difference, and you can still go where you want for your eyecare. We look forward to seeing you soon.
