When it comes to vision, most of us think in terms of simple eyesight—clear or blurry, glasses or no glasses. But for Dr. Jacinta Yeung-Olson, owner and optometrist of Peek to Peak Vision & Boutique here in Old Town Lafayette, vision is far more than just seeing clearly. It’s about how you experience the world, how your eyes and brain work together, and how your overall well-being shows up through your sight.
Recently opened in the heart of Old Town Lafayette, Peek to Peak Vision & Boutique blends high-quality medical care with community connection and a little style inspiration. It’s not your typical eye clinic—and that’s exactly the point.
A Practice Rooted in Community
For Dr. Yeung and her husband—both practicing optometrists—this practice represents a long-held dream. After years of working in a Boulder clinic that was eventually bought out by private equity, they felt pulled back to the kind of personalized, relationship-driven care that first inspired them to become optometrists.
Old Town Lafayette was a natural choice.
“We live in Erie, our kids go to school here in Lafayette, and we’ve always loved the art and culture of this community,” Dr. Yeung explains. “Old Town has such a unique vibe, and we wanted to bring something that matches that—care that’s deeply local and connected.”
The name Peek to Peak is a playful nod to both sight and adventure: peek as in vision, and peak as in the journey to the top of a mountain. The mission? Helping patients of all ages reach their own “peak vision.”
More Than Meets the Eye: Functional Vision
Most of us assume that seeing clearly is all there is to eye health. But Dr. Yeung helps patients understand the difference between eyesight and functional vision.
Functional vision looks at how the eyes and brain work together to support daily life. When they’re not aligned, it can cause headaches, eye strain, dizziness, or even behavior changes in kids—issues that often go unnoticed or misdiagnosed.
A memorable case? A middle schooler came in complaining of trouble seeing the board. Rather than simply prescribing new glasses, Dr. Yeung dug deeper. She discovered he’d recently had a concussion and was struggling with nausea while reading.
“Once we addressed the root cause, his distance vision returned,” Dr. Yeung says. “It’s about looking past the surface symptoms to really improve someone’s quality of life.”
This holistic approach is especially important for kids, whose early visual development directly impacts their ability to read, learn, and thrive. Dr. Yeung encourages parents to schedule their child’s first eye exam between 6-12 months with annual exams starting at age three—well before they start reading. Early exams help catch trends like eye coordination or focusing issues, which can show up later as struggles with reading or even behaviors that resemble ADHD. In fact, many vision-related symptoms—like restlessness, difficulty paying attention, or avoiding close-up work—mirror common ADHD signs. By identifying these issues early, families can get the right support in place before challenges escalate at school or at home.

The True Value of Vision
Dr. Yeung often brings up a social experiment done in Australia that offered participants a million dollars to give up their eyesight. No one took the offer.
Even if you haven’t noticed changes, regular eye exams can catch issues early, improve daily comfort, and help you fully enjoy the things you love—whether it’s skiing, fishing, reading, or simply seeing the faces of those who matter most.
Whether you’re due for an exam or just want to browse stylish new frames, Peek to Peak Vision & Boutique welcomes you to stop by, meet the team, and explore a new kind of vision care experience.
“Your vision is how you experience the world,” says Dr. Yeung. “It’s worth protecting—and we’re here to help.”
