    What our patients say

    We've been going to Nappanee Family Eyecare for years and love them. They are not only kind and welcoming but work really hard to make sure you get the care you need in urgent situations. They have great Frame selections and help you get the most out of your insurance benefits. We have moved since we started at this clinic and will continue to travel to see them, passing other eye doctors offices on the way. This clinic, and staff, are worth it.

    What our patients say

    Always enjoy my appointments with Nappanee Family Eye Care. Entire staff is very pleasant, knowledgeable, and dedicated to my eye care and glasses selection. Had a time crunch and tried a national chain and was horribly disappointed with the entire experience and they didn't even meet their promised time. Go to our local experts and you won't be disappointed.

    What our patients say

    Nappanee Family Eyecare is the best! Their customer service on the phone is kind and explains everything ahead of time, our Dr took his time with our exams, explained our prescriptions to us and then the Krystal took her time helping pick out the right frames for my face! The experience overall was top notch and we'll never go anywhere else!

    Meet the Doctors

    Dr. Darren Minnich

    Dr. Minnich established Nappanee Family Eyecare in 1999 as a result of buying Dr. Tom Tarman's (Wakarusa) and Dr. Russell Bolyard's (Nappanee) Optometry offices and merging them with a new beginning. Dr. Minnich states "I can't say enough about the opportunity to take over two well-esteemed doctors in their respective communities. I often think about Dr. Tarman and Dr. Bolyard and believe they would be proud of how we provide the many services in our office."
