About John P. Carlson, M.D.
More Eye Care & Optometry in Hemet
Dr. Richard Simonds
Dr. Richard Simonds operates an independent optometry practice on West Florida Avenue in central Hemet, handling the full scope of routine eye care — comprehensive exams, contact lens fitting, dry eye evaluation, and pediatric vision checks — with in-office frame selection and an on-site lab for glasses finishing. The practice accepts most major vision plans and insurance, removing the guesswork around coverage that often comes with chain retail locations. The practice suits residents who prefer a consistent provider over a rotating staff, families with multiple vision needs across age groups, and contact lens wearers who want fitting expertise rather than a big-box transaction. For complex surgical cases — cataracts, LASIK referrals, low-vision rehabilitation — the optometrist coordinates with specialists rather than attempting the work in-office. Repeat patients benefit from continuity; new patients find the neighborhood location on Florida Avenue already aligned with their existing Hemet errand patterns rather than requiring a trip to a mall anchor store.
Buri Optometric Center
Buri Optometric Center occupies a spot on East Florida Avenue in central Hemet, operating as a full-scope optometric practice handling routine vision exams, contact lens fitting, and common treatments like dry eye management. The clinic maintains an in-house frame selection and dispensary rather than requiring patients to source eyewear separately — a convenience detail that matters most during contact lens fittings or when a prescription changes mid-week and an adjustment can't wait for mail delivery. The patient base ranges from school-age kids getting first exams to seniors managing presbyopia and age-related conditions, plus the working-age crowd fitting eye care into lunch breaks or after-work slots. For patients with VSP, EyeMed, or other common vision plans, Buri accepts those directly rather than asking for out-of-pocket upfront payment. A local optometrist's office suits those looking for continuity with the same doctor rather than rotating providers, and for contact lens wearers who need fitting adjustments or prescription changes — the kind of hands-on work that a chain's high-turnover model doesn't always prioritize as thoroughly.
