Wee Pediatric Eyecare began in January 2020, right before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It had been an idea Dr Lexy had for years and had not acted on for one reason or another. This year was the year she finally decided to open her dream practice, a niche practice that ONLY serves children ages 17 and under. Her mission began and took on its own life as the practice started. Even in the heart of the pandemic, Wee Pediatric Eyecare thrived. Dr Lexy was the solo Doctor, optician, and front desk for the first six months. She worked hard to build the practice frugally and hired her first employee, Stephanie. While the practice grew, so did its reputation in the community. Neighboring towns all knew Wee as the place to take their nervous children for their first exam, the most extensive selection of children’s glasses to choose from, and also for any pediatric specialty care they might need. As Wee became more well known, people would travel over an hour to visit Dr Lexy and Stephanie at Wee.
It was at this point that Dr. Lexy started paying attention to her little patients' likes and dislikes. She began sending out surveys with each patient form that asked questions like, ‘What's your favorite color?' ‘Do you like pattern frames or solid frames better?' 'Square or round?'
Over the years, we gathered invaluable feedback from our young customers, allowing us to create a range of eyewear that combines style and functionality. Our very own frame line, WeeEyes, was born through this research. WeeEyes is a collection designed with the most discerning critic in mind-children! There is nothing like our office, and nothing compares to our frame line. We pride ourselves on our ‘experience’ being unique to other offices. We pride ourselves on the fact that children come to us and leave loving the eye doctor without fear for the next exam. We pride ourselves on the fact that our special needs population grows bigger and bigger each year, with many loyal patients that ‘only behave well and have good exams’ with Dr Lexy and Stephanie at Wee. Last but not least, we pride ourselves on the fact that WeeEyes has a frame that fits every child, every personality, every feature, every disability, and every lifestyle.
