Born and raised in Kingman, Kansas, Dr. Baldwin is thrilled to practice what she loves so close to home. She can’t imagine anything better than to care for her community and build strong ties with new friends and colleagues.

Dr. Baldwin invites you to schedule adult eye exams and children’s eye exams for yourself and your family. Whether you have concerns about specific eye diseases or are simply seeking an updated prescription and new glasses, she will always do her best to meet all your needs as your eye doctor in Wichita.

Dr. Alisa Nola, Eye Doctor
Dr. Alisa Nola was born and raised in Wichita and is thrilled to serve her hometown. During optometry school, she was diagnosed with a binocular vision problem that caused frequent headaches. This was a “lightbulb” moment, because, despite excelling at school, Dr. Nola had problems with reading. Her diagnosis explained many of these struggles.
Dr. Nola believes that vision is more than seeing 20/20 on an eye chart. She enjoys educating patients about their vision and providing individualized eye care to children and adults.
Dr. Nola’s mission is to bring accessible vision care to her surrounding community as well as the world. Through multiple faith-based mission trips, she helped provide essential eye exams and glasses to those in need in Honduras, Belize, and Laos. She encourages you to schedule adult eye exams and children’s eye exams for yourself and your family.
Dr. Nola is also passionate about vision therapy and has dedicated nearly 4 years of patient care in San Antonio, where she treated hundreds of patients with learning disabilities, strabismus, amblyopia, difficulty with reading, double vision, and head injuries.
Outside of patient care, Dr. Nola is passionate about serving her community through a local church. She also loves to adventure outdoors and hike in the national parks.

Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams for adults and seniors, as well as children, include a thorough evaluation of your vision, eye health, and overall well-being. We use technology and diagnostic tools to detect potential concerns early.
Dr. Baldwin is a mother of 2 young children herself and understands the importance of creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients of all ages.
Her experience caring for her own children supports her gentle and understanding approach. She takes the time to help even the youngest patients feel at ease during their eye exams.
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be a convenient and comfortable alternative to glasses for many people. At a contact lens exam, your eye doctor will guide you through the fitting process to help you find the right lenses for your specific needs and lifestyle.
Dry Eye
Dry eye is a common condition that can cause irritation, discomfort, and blurry vision. Our eye doctors offer a variety of diagnostic tools and dry eye treatment options to help address symptoms like red eyes and burning sensations. Our goal is to help improve your overall eye comfort.
How Often Should You Go to the Eye Doctor?
Regular eye exams are important for your vision and health. Your eye doctor can help prepare an exam schedule that works for you, but the general guidelines include the following recommendations:
- Children: School-aged children should get an eye exam every year, with other checkups as recommended by your eye doctor.
- Adults (20–39): Healthy adults should usually get an eye exam every 2 years.
- Adults (40+): Adults 40 and up may benefit from eye exams every 1–2 years, as the risk of some eye conditions can increase with age.
- Adults (65+): Annual exams have become increasingly important in detecting and managing conditions like glaucoma and cataracts for adults 65 and up.
Ultimately, your eye doctor can help you determine what exam schedule works for you based on your needs.
What Does OD Mean for Eye Doctors?
An OD (Doctor of Optometry) is a primary eye care provider—similar to a family doctor for your eyes. Optometrists can diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions, prescribe medications, and provide corrective lenses.
Ophthalmologists are also medical doctors, but they are more focused on treating eye diseases through surgery.
Dr. Baldwin is an optometrist and is proud to be your doctor for all your eye care needs in Wichita.
What Happens During an Eye Exam?
A comprehensive exam with your eye doctor typically takes about 1 hour and may include:
- A review of your medical history and family history
- A discussion of any current eye problems or concerns
- Vision tests to assess near and distance vision, depth perception, and peripheral vision
- An eye pressure test to screen for glaucoma
- An examination of the internal and external structures of the eye

Testimonials
I am very pleased with my experience from entry to exit. I’m so happy I followed through with my friend’s referral to see Dr. Baldwin. Dr. Baldwin was very thorough and efficient and so friendly and listened to my concerns and wishes regarding contacts. The staff is great as well. Anna is very patient and understanding! She listened to my concerns from a few past experiences and took everything into consideration to best fit my needs for Rx sunglasses. For me, ordering Rx sunglasses is very difficult. I’m very happy to be a patient at The Eye Gallery.
