At Fall River Vision, we go above and beyond helping our patients achieve the best vision possible with corrective lenses. We also focus on medical optometry to help make sure your eyes are healthy and comfortable.
Getting your eyes checked with us yearly is an important part of taking care of your overall health. As optometrists, we are primary care providers for the eye. Since your eyes are the only place in the body where we can see blood vessels directly, we are able to monitor your entire circulatory system. We check your eyes for signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and over 300+ diseases! We also co-manage with outside specialists when needed.
We also have a professional optical team who can help guide you to find glasses that look great on you and help you chose lens options that will maximize your vision. With over 500 frame choices, you are bound to find something you will love! We also offer a large contact lens practice where we work with all types of lenses. We can custom fit you in a lens that won't feel uncomfortable or dry out toward the end of the day. We strive to offer you the best experience with a terrific staff in a warm and friendly environment!

Dear patients and friends (although I like to think of all our patients as friends):
As many of you know, 17 months ago our office of over 35 years became unusable because of the fire at Burns Power Tools next door, and things looked pretty grim. Neither my partner, Dr. Herald, nor I had any idea what the future would hold in store for us. I was thinking I might be forced into retirement, which I am not ready for, and, Dr. Herald, who is an excellent Optometrist, along with Ruben (our licensed optician and office manager), began a tremendous effort to locate and remodel a new office. It has been a very difficult and time-consuming undertaking. They have made huge progress and the future looks very bright. We have upgraded the technology to have a more modern office. We have hired new staff, and I believe they will be great additions to our Fall River Vision team.
Another obstacle came up a few months ago, when out of the blue I suffered a mild stroke. Luckily, I have no neurological effects at all, with one ironic exception: a small effect on my vision. Not to worry though. This has not affected my sense of humor (?). This has delayed my return, but I have every intention of returning. Dr. Herald has told me how many of you have called to see me for an exam, and l feel extremely appreciative. I appreciate the frustration this has caused, but I will be back (after I get my service dog trained to read numbers and letters, to help me with the exam).
In the meantime, I urge you to not put off having an exam. I have full trust and confidence in Dr. Herald. Please give us a call. Thank you. I very much look forward to seeing you again.
Very Sincerely,
Dr. Douglas Posner

We are THRILLED to tell you that we are now booking appointments at our new location! We are in the process of reaching out to all patients. Please call us at 1-508-673-2370 to ask when you are due for your exam. If you have not been seen since Newton Street, please call us to update your info even if nothing has changed.
Over the next several months, you might get a phone call, text, email or robo call announcing that we are open again. Please make every effort to respond to these since these are difficult to coordinate and we might not be able to call back.
We have made a lot of positive changes including leveraging new technologies for a more streamlined experience.
We are
taking many new insurances including EyeMed and Mass Health!
Our office is now textable, and
we a have a portal so you can fill out paperwork in the convenience of your
home.

Can't wait to show you our new home! :-D
