Optometrist In Cudahy, WI
414 Eyes is an independently owned practice serving Milwaukee and the surrounding communities, including Cudahy, WI. Our Cudahy patients often choose us for same-day glasses, making the short drive west on Layton Avenue to our office instead of waiting two weeks for a lab order to come back. We also handle eye exams, prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, macular degeneration testing, and glaucoma management under one roof, so a single visit usually covers everything.
If you have been searching for a Cudahy optometrist who explains findings in plain language and respects your time, we are accepting new patients. Whether you work shifts at the plant, commute past Mitchell International every morning, or spend your weekends on the Oak Leaf Trail at Sheridan Park, your eyes are doing specific work. Our exams account for that.

What our patients say about us
The Doctors Who Will See You
A prescription is the easy part. What patients tell us they actually want is to understand what is happening inside their eyes and what to do about it. Dr. Fan and Dr. Smith show you your images, explain what they mean for your vision over the next ten years, and give you a specific next step before you leave your appointment.
Optometrist
Dr. Janice Fan
Dr. Fan is a graduate of the Southern College of Optometry and focuses on the medical diagnosis of eye disease. Much of her contact lens work involves patients whose needs other offices have struggled to address, including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal designs for presbyopia, and difficult fits that never felt comfortable. As a Cudahy optometrist, she also writes precise eyeglass prescriptions and helps patients narrow down frames that suit their face and their daily life.
Optometrist
Dr. W. Colin Smith
Dr. Smith grew up in the Milwaukee area, earned his biochemistry degree at UW-Milwaukee and his optometry degree from the Southern College of Optometry. He manages dry eye therapy, monitors glaucoma, and handles pre-operative and post-operative care for patients considering LASIK or cataract surgery. He reads OCT imaging closely to assess optic nerve health and spot change early. He wears contacts for astigmatism himself, which tends to make his lens recommendations unusually practical.

FAQs
Start with an optometrist. We diagnose and manage the large majority of eye conditions, including glaucoma, dry eye, infections and diabetic changes, and we prescribe medication when it is needed. An ophthalmologist is a surgeon. If your eyes need surgery, such as cataract removal or a retinal procedure, we refer you and then handle the follow-up care here so you are not driving across the county for every check. If you are looking for an optometrist in Cudahy, WI, we can help with both routine and ongoing eye care.
For most single vision and many progressive prescriptions, yes. Complex prescriptions, specialty lens materials and certain coatings need to be ordered from an outside lab. Mention same-day glasses when you schedule your appointment and we will tell you upfront whether your prescription qualifies.
Often it is. Lens materials, replacement schedules and multifocal designs have changed considerably, and a fitting done properly accounts for corneal shape, tear film and how many hours you actually wear them. If contacts still are not right for you after a fitting, we will say so rather than sell you a year’s supply.
Sometimes. Myopia control uses FDA-approved MiSight contact lenses or nightly atropine drops to slow the elongation of the eye that drives nearsightedness. Children under 10 tend to benefit most, though patients up to 18 still show meaningful results. Bring it up at the appointment and we will look at whether your child is a candidate.
Book online or call the office. Bring your current glasses or contact lens boxes, your insurance card, a list of any medications you take, and sunglasses if you expect to be dilated. If you have had imaging or records from another doctor, those help us compare rather than start from scratch.
Yes. That includes pediatric eye exams for children starting school, working adults dealing with screen strain, and older patients managing cataracts or macular changes. One office, one set of records, for the whole household.
