Eye care is important to us—all of us—and we often take it for granted. The incredible gift of sight, and the amazing opportunities it provides, are unique among all God’s creatures. No other living being enjoys the same fidelity and quality of eyesight that humans do.
The Eye Gallery celebrates this incredible gift. It is our responsibility to care for it, provide for your ocular health, and do all we can to facilitate excellent eyesight for our patients. We take our responsibility as caregivers and community leaders seriously.
Vision Dedicated, Style Inspired
Vision Dedicated
Our eyes do not always tell us when something is wrong. Eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, love to sneak up and surprise us. Most often, they develop silently, growing in seriousness and severity until the damage is done.
Their first symptoms are most often vision loss, and most don’t notice until the disease has already claimed its share.
Working together, we can reduce the impact eye-threatening diseases have on your eyesight. It all starts with an eye exam.
Style Inspired
Great eyesight requires great eyeglasses, and great eyeglasses need to complement your style. We know first-hand how the perfect pair of frames or a savvy pair of sunglasses can make any outfit pop. At The Eye Gallery, we’ve hand-picked designer brands from all over the world that offer industry-leading style, value, and craftsmanship.
Our expert opticians are style-conscious and on top of the latest trends in eyewear. Be assured that you’ll find something you’ll love when you visit our boutique.
As a Kansas native (born and raised in Kingman), 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.
When She’s not in the office caring for her patients, Dr. Baldwin enjoys making memories with her husband, Aaron, and two sweet kids, Parker and Stella! You’ll often find her playing piano, hosting her friends and family in her home, or out for a run. Dr. Baldwin and her husband enjoy traveling to warm places and recently became open-water scuba diver certified!
She chose eye care as her career because Dr. Baldwin has always wanted to help people. The quality of care she provides is incredibly important to her. In an age where doctors spend just a few minutes with their patients, she is proud to give her patients the time and diligence they deserve. More than to simply “see” you, Dr. Baldwin wants to learn more about you and how she can best serve your needs. Your relationship matters.
Dr. Baldwin invites you to make an appointment for yourself or your children, whether you have an eye concern or are simply seeking an updated corrective lens prescription. She will always do her best to provide you the best eye care available anywhere in Wichita.

Dr. Alisa Nola, OPTOMETRIST
Dr. Alisa Nola is a Wichita native and is very excited to serve her hometown. During optometry school, she was diagnosed with a binocular vision problem that caused frequent headaches. This was a ‘lightbulb’ moment as her diagnoses explained a lot of her reading struggles even though she excelled in school. 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.
She received her Bachelor’s degree at Wichita State University (Go Shockers!) and her Optometry degree at the Illinois College of Optometry. Her passion for providing care for pediatrics and those affected with brain injuries led her to complete her residency training in Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation in Minnesota. Dr. Nola 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 at national parks. Her favorite traveling activity is watching the sunset on a beach or up in the mountains. On weekends she is frequently found at local coffee shops with friends and family. In her free time, she enjoys home improvement projects, long walks outdoors, and play time with her fur baby (Lulu).
Her mission is to bring access to vision care to her surrounding community as well as around 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 is currently an InfantSEE provider, where she provides comprehensive eye exams to infants and screens for eye diseases in pediatrics. Dr. Nola has dedicated her learning and specialty care by completing her fellowships with the College of Optometrists in Vision Development and the American Academy of Optometry. She is also a proud member of the Kansas Optometric Association, American Academy of Optometry, and the College of Optometrists in Vision Development.

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.

Most parents believe that because their child can see things in the distance, both eyes must be functioning properly. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. They could be only using one of their good eyes and ignoring the image from the other. One of these toughest things is knowing whether your child is having […]

What to Expect If You Haven’t Had an Eye Exam in Years
You may recall having regular eye exams as a child. However, if you’ve never needed glasses, you’ve probably not seen an optometrist in years. Our eyesight deteriorates as we age, but that isn’t the only reason to have your eyes checked. Because many eye problems have no symptoms and rarely cause pain, you may be […]
