Introducing Our Eye Care Doctors

Optometrists specialize in eye health, vision, and eye disease diagnosis and treatment. These doctors often work together with healthcare providers in other fields to deliver a full scope of services aimed at preserving health and safeguarding vision. We are pleased to have two outstanding professionals heading up our care team.

• Gary Christianson is a partner of Primary Eye Care and has based his practice in Hutchinson since 1984. He has raised three sons in Hutchinson and is an active part of our community. Dr. Christianson has experience with all aspects of primary optometry and has a particular interest in contact lens fitting and the diagnosis of ocular diseases. He holds membership in the Minnesota and American Optometric Associations. New patients are currently being accepted.
• Matthew Hoppe is a Primary Eye Care partner and works as a board certified optometrist in our Litchfield and Hutchinson locations. With a professional background including internships at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and the VA Medical Center in Portland, OR, Dr. Hoppe brings an exceptional standard of eye health care and management to our patients. His hobbies include CrossFit and participation in mudruns and sprint marathons.

Primary Eye Care Services

In addition to comprehensive eye exams, optical/contact lens evaluations, and contact lens fittings, our optometrists also provide Lasik consultation to patients considering this course of treatment. These consultations give patients the opportunity to get personalized answers to their questions. Since LASIK is not a perfect solution for every vision concern, an evaluation is typically required before surgery can be schedule.
