Eyemart Express:
Meet Dr. Peterson
After completing undergrad studies at Iowa State University, Dr. Chad Peterson attended Illinois College of Optometry where he graduated with honors in 1998. Currently practicing as an optometry specialist, he has more than 20 years of diverse experiences within optometry.Said of the affiliation with Eyemart Express and its family of brands – Vision 4 Less, Eyewear Express and Visionmart Express – it’s the “independence” that he enjoys most about his relationship with the national optical retailer and having the ability to “run your business the way you want.”
Dr. Peterson opened his practice in 2007 in Cedar Rapids, occupying two-thirds of the building at the time. In 2009, Peterson Eye Care expanded, and the 3-lane practice now occupies even more of the space that continues to impress patients as “a lot of people walk in and just say, “Wow, this is huge,” while still giving him “a lot of room to grow.” Dr. Peterson is married with two children, 12 and 15, and a Scottish Terrier, and enjoys water sports, cycling and biking, and target practice.

"It's getting so competitive out there, I don't think a lot of private optometrists will be able to make it work. It's all specialized and very changing dynamic. Eyemart Express gives you their knowledge and expertise to make it run."
