About Family Vision Care
Dr. James Sellers, Tim's father, began this practice in 1975 and retired in December 2000 after 25 years of service to Adel and the surrounding communities. His son, Dr. Tim Sellers took over the practice on January 1, 2001 and started what is now known as Family Vision Care (FVC).
Family Vision Care is committed to providing the highest overall quality eye care service to you and your family. We promise to evaluate your eye health status and explain your vision needs, emphasizing preventative care. Your questions will be answered in a non-rushed eye health evaluation, unlike many of the offices who spend only a few short minutes with their patients. Our staff is dedicated to providing this care in an atmosphere of compassion and respect. |
Our mission is to remain on the forefront of eye care through continuing education, utilizing the latest state-of-the-art technology and instrumentation. We will strive to exceed your expectations with a level of service and value not often seen in health care today.
Our goal is to ensure you will return and recommend our practice to your friends and family.
If you have any questions please call our office at (229)-896-4596.

Comprehensive eye health exams
Our technicians will start with a detailed medical history including chief complaint, blood pressure, family history, and current medications. Dr. Tim performs his own vision analysis while looking for any conditions that can affect the eye.
Our mission is to examine your eyes for any potential problem or threat to your vision. |
Our goal is to PREVENT any problem or threat from harming your eyes. This is obviously best accomplished while your vision is still good.
We recommend getting your vision checked before a problem could start. The best time to come in is while your vision is normal. Problems can occur without warning. You do not want to wait until a problem has already started. Some problems cannot be treated with glasses and cannot be improved after damage has occurred. Early detection and prevention are better philosophies when it comes to your vision care.
We also believe it is best to have your child's vision checked as soon as possible, preferably before or at 3 years old. Problems can be detected even before a child can read or speak. Most problems are easier to treat when caught early. A child's vision needs to show the ability to have 20/20 in each eye by their 6th birthday and we have until 8 or 9 years old before a child's vision surpasses the critical period.
Remember: A child may not tell you he or she is having a vision problem. Most children would not understand what normal vision should be in each eye. These problems are also difficult to detect through simple observation. When a child appears to be doing well with no complaints, it is natural to believe the child's eyes and vision are good. However, certain problems may go undetected in a child's earliest years. The best way to know your child's vision is normal in each eye is to let your eye care professional evaluate your child's vision.
Dr. Tim also takes the time to explain any condition he finds so you better understand your's or your child's vision. He will also take the time to answer all of your questions about your's or your child's eyes.
That is what separates us from all the other places. Your time is valuable, and we will honor that time with a thorough eye health evaluation. Questions are encouraged. This can be an opportunity to find out what you have always wanted to know about your vision but were afraid to ask or were not given enough time with your previous eye doctor.
