Optical center will bring patient-centric care and eyewear to Omaha community  

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Shopko Optical, a leader in providing trusted eye care to communities for over 40 years, is looking forward to being a part of Omaha’s community. The new location at 16720 Harrison Street is expected to open in December 2021 and will be the fifth Shopko Optical center in the Omaha area. Patients can anticipate complete eye care services, including eye exams, contact lens fitting, and diagnosis and treatment of eye disease.  

“We are elated to add another Shopko Optical center to the Omaha community,” said Russ Steinhorst, Shopko Optical CEO. “With the new center, we will continue our mission of offering the outstanding eye care that people have come to know and love from Shopko Optical.”   

With the opening of this new Shopko Optical in Omaha, five to seven jobs will be created.  

In addition, Shopko Optical’s Kids in Focus program will work with Omaha’s local Lions Club to identify deserving children within the area to receive a comprehensive eye exam and pair of glasses at no charge from Shopko Optical. Those looking to participate can contact their local Lions Club.   

Shopko Optical accepts most major vision plans, including EyeMed, UHC Vision, Davis Vision, Superior Vision, Avesis, and many more. Shopko Optical is also an open-access provider for VSP.
