Professionally, Dr DeWar enjoys having his office on-call to the RBB Health Care Facility where he may be seen giving full-service eye care on site and donates time for local school vision screenings in the fall.
Dr. DeWar has worked with the high school mentoring program by allowing students to shadow him in order to learn something about the health care profession.
He has had I.U. Optometric students to visit and shadow him to further their education thus serving the larger area community.

“Through the growth of this practice over the years, I appreciate the relationships formed with my patients and look forward to adding to the family here at Hoosier Family Eyecare.”

I am a certified optometric technician and have been with the practice for 6 years. I have many duties including performing your screenings in the exam room, making your appointments, verifying your insurance information, and fitting and dispensing your new eye wear. I am also the office frame stylist in charge of keeping our frame room as up to date as possible with a wide selection of fashionable and trendy eye wear styles. We value each and every patient and make sure everyone gets the one-on-one attention they deserve.

I have been with Hoosier Family Eyecare for 5 years. I am a certified optometric technician and also have a degree as an Optician from Indiana University's School of Optometry. My job duties consist of making your appointments and helping you with insurance authorizations, screenings in the exam room, and assisting you with your eye wear selection. I can also dispense that eye wear to you once the completed job arrives at our office. I also have the pleasure of keeping our contact lens inventory as up to date as possible so that most patients can be fitted with lenses the day of their exam! We are always taking new patients and know that you will feel right at home at Hoosier Family Eyecare.
