Welcome to Fall River Vision

At Fall River Vision, we go above and beyond to help our patients achieve the best vision possible with corrective lenses. We also focus on medical optometry to help make sure your eyes are healthy and comfortable. 

Getting your eyes checked with us yearly is an important part of taking care of your overall health. As optometrists, we are primary care providers for the eye. Since your eyes are the only place in the body where we can see blood vessels directly, we can monitor your entire circulatory system. We check your eyes for signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and over 300+ diseases! We also co-manage with outside specialists when needed.

We also have a professional optical team who can help guide you to find glasses that look great on you and help you choose lens options that will maximize your vision. With over 500 frame choices, you are bound to find something you will love! We also offer a large contact lens practice where we work with all types of lenses. We can custom-fit you in a lens that won't feel uncomfortable or dry out toward the end of the day. We strive to offer you the best experience with a terrific staff in a warm and friendly environment!

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Dr. Posner

September 14, 2024

                                                                                              To Our Wonderful Patients,

Fall River Vision

This is a very difficult time for our entire community as we continue to grieve the loss of our beloved founding doctor, Dr. Douglas Posner.  Dr. Posner was a wonderful man and a beacon of peace, kindness, and gentleness, always ready with a corny Dad joke to brighten your day or make your annual eye exam a little more enjoyable. True to his generous spirit, Dr. Posner continues to help others even in death by being an organ donor. He donated several organs, including his liver and, fittingly, his corneas—ensuring that his legacy of improving others' vision lives on. 

Patients and friends have had many questions, and we want to make sure that we answer them for you. We have sent out an email about Dr. Posner’s passing in late August. If you did not get the email, please verify that the email we have on file for you is correct. Then check your spam folder. You should also add [email protected] to your contact list to make sure you continue to stay updated on other important announcements. 

Dr. Herald and Dr. Posner have been friends and colleagues for years, and his passing has been very hard on all of us. The past few weeks have been difficult because we have to re-live his passing every day with every patient. We understand that many of you would like to share condolences, so we have set up a notebook at the office where you can sign your name and write a message to his family or to our office. We will read and reflect on those after working hours and we will send copies to his daughter and his son. We quickly ran out of memorial cards, but we are happy to send you a digital copy of one if you would like.  We want to thank you for your patience during this difficult time and we also want to let you know that we are honored to have you as a continued patient.

We look forward to upholding the quality of care that our wonderful founding doctor has instilled in us. We know he would love nothing more than to see the office succeed in our new location. We are proud to carry forward Dr. Posner’s legacy of excellent patient care at Fall River Vision, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Sincerely, Dr. Herald and the Fall River Vision Team

  • First time I have ever had a warm experience at an eye dr. There actually personable and nice! Seem like there happy to be at work and around each other it was absolutely refreshing!

  • After more than a decade as a house-bound patient, I was told about Fall River Vision and Dr. Christina Herald's fantastic service.Dr. Herald will always have a special place in my heart. I booked an eye exam and she came to my home with her new and fancy portable eye equipment -- all in one bag. She completed a very thorough exam and gave me back the pleasures of working comfortably on both my computer as well as prescribe another pair of glasses so I can now see my family and friends clearly at gatherings.Dr. Herald is a special light in the world, and I think we all know that it is rare and wonderful to meet someone who considers their profession to be a "calling." The quality of her care is inspiring.My comprehensive exam tested my field of vision, checked me for glaucoma, measured eye pressure, evaluated me as to cataracts -- and gave me back peace of mind after so many years I was forced to neglect my eye health.As far as I know, Fall River Vision is the only company in MA and RI to come to patients' homes for eye exams and prescription glasses. I feel so lucky to be a patient now under the care of Fall River Vision and the warm office team that worked with me to get me back on track and to be able to take such joy in eye health once again.

  • I had a great experience at Fall River vision! The building is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is just comforting. The Dr was so kind and friendly. They all made it so easy to get an exam done. I am actually looking forward to my next visit there!

    - Alyssa Silva
  • Dr Herald and her staff were phenomenal. The young lady at the front desk was very warm and friendly in greeting me and remembered me from a previous visit. Another young lady who began my examination was also very nice and explained everything she had to do very well and made me feel very comfortable. I was very impressed with both of these staff members and how well they took care of me.Dr. Herald herself is just amazing. You sit there having a wonderful conversation while she does her exam and you are having such a good time talking you’re sorry when she’s all done. Dr Herald is the perfect combination of professionalism to the highest degree while having a personal touch that displays her essential goodness and caring for her patients as people as well as their eyes. All that makes for a great doctor and I feel very fortunate to be her patient. Finally there is Ruben who did the work to find me the proper pair of glasses. I was a little concerned about this but he made it so easy and fun. Just a great guy. The office is absolutely stunning in its appearance reflecting the stunning performance of Dr. Herald and her staff. I recommend her and her office to anyone without reservation.

  • I received my glasses a few days ago. They are wonderful. It is so nice to be able to see clearly again. I want to thank Dr Herald. Being homebound by agoraphobia has kept me from getting my eyes examined for years. Finding Dr Herald was such a relief. She is so sweet and did such a great job. She took her time with such a thorough exam and helping me find the right glasses. I really appreciate everything.
