The Jerde Eye Specialists story begins at the tail end of another that began more than 30 years ago in the same building we now occupy. In 1987, a south St. Louis county eye doctor began a tradition of providing quality, compassionate eye care to area patients. In 2018, that tradition was passed to the Jerde Eye Specialists Dr. Eric Jerde and Dr. Ashley Thill, two highly trained and dedicated optometrists. Many of the same friendly faces that patients came to know during those earlier years still make up our staff, just as the same commitment to doing absolutely everything we can to provide convenient, personalized eye care still makes up the eye care philosophy. At Jerde Eye Specialists, it is important to us that our patients feel they are a part of our eye care family. We take seriously the trust that patients place in us and will always put YOU first. You only have one set of eyes, and our team is committed to ensuring you have access to the convenient, state-of-the-art eye care you deserve. Whether you are in need of SAME-DAY, AFFORDABLE, QUALITY glasses or a comprehensive eye exam to protect your best possible vision, our team goes out of its way to quickly and thoroughly get your vision back to where you need it. To provide this elevated level of care, our specialists remain at the forefront of optometry through continuing education and seeking out state-of-the-art technology, including the latest specialty contact lenses and eyewear. Our friendly staff works to create an laid-back, respectful atmosphere for patients of all ages.
