Dr Craig Rouse
Dr. Craig Rouse discovered his passion for optometry after requiring corrective lenses.

In 2012, Bausch + Lomb, one of the world’s largest suppliers of eye healthcare products, asked 11,000 people from 11 different countries the question: Would you rather lose a limb or your eyesight? The results of the survey reported that 68 percent of people would rather lose an arm or leg than their ability to see.

Our eyes, like the rest of our bodies, need to be nurtured and cared for. And having clear, focused vision is only one of the reasons it’s important to see your eye doctor regularly. Because the eyes are a window into the rest of the body, our vision can tell us more than just what meets the eye.

At ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER in Lacey, Dr. Craig Rouse understands the importance of your eye health. But that’s because he knows firsthand what it’s like to have impaired vision.

Dr. Rouse was a sophomore in college when he noticed his vision starting to change. At first, he caught himself squinting in class, then he noticed faraway text and objects became one big blur. Luckily, Dr. Rouse’s dorm mate’s dad was an optometrist. He scheduled an appointment immediately.

Dr. Rouse vividly remembers the moment he donned his first pair of compensating lenses. “I remember going, ‘Wow!’ I was in awe of how well I could see,” he recalls.

Already interested in subjects like anatomy and biology, Dr. Rouse says after this experience, the decision to study optometry became clear, and he applied to Pacific University’s College of Optometry in Oregon. Dr. Rouse studied there for four years before moving with his wife, Deliah, to Illinois where he landed his first job as an optometrist.

The staff at Rouse EyeCare Center is experienced, caring and ready to provide you with a top-notch eye care experience.

Dr. Rouse’s first job out of optometry school was at a commercial eyecare business. It was, unfortunately, not what he had anticipated. “There was a great deal of constraint in providing the best care possible,” he says. “There was no room to grow and provide full scope eye care.”

Frustrated by his situation, Dr. Rouse submitted his resignation and headed to a private practice in Illinois before packing his bags and returning to the Pacific Northwest where he worked on base at JBLM for seven years. Here, Dr. Rouse was happier, but still unfulfilled. He wasn’t able to provide his patients with the level of care that he wanted to. Coming to terms with this realization, Dr. Rouse decided it was time to start his own practice.

ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER opened in Lacey in 2008 as a local source for quality eye care. For nearly a decade, Dr. Rouse has built his clientele on a commitment to expert care, top of the line equipment, well-crafted products and friendly service. “It’s about providing the best care to each patient,” he says. With this level of customer commitment, ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER patients know they’re in good hands.

And ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER patients always get more than a run of the mill eye exam. Each visit to ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER is a comprehensive evaluation of your total eye health. During eye care appointments, Dr. Rouse looks for conditions like glaucoma, vascular disease, tumors, visual disorders affecting learning, and other disorders that could be indicative of bigger problems. Dr. Rouse says detecting these kind of conditions is paramount to ensuring good vision and overall health later on in life.

In addition to exceptional care, ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER is also a source for fashion eyewear and top of the line lenses made from the latest technology. ROUSE EyeCARE CENTERs features everything from customizable Tom Davies frames to damage-eliminating BlueTech lenses and more. Of course, if you feel like something a bit more modest, Rouse Eye Center also carries a selection of moderately priced frames for its budget-minded customers, too. With ample options for stylish, functional frames and lenses, you won’t just feel good after leaving ROUSE EyeCARE CENTER, you’ll look good, too.
