About Us

Bennett Optical, now Bennett EyeCare Midwest (BECM), is one of the largest primary eye care practices in Kansas City and can trace its roots back 100 years (originally opened in 1909). Bennett Optical operated as a stand-alone practice for many years and at various locations North of the river until 1996.

From 1996 to 1998 Bennett Optical and Eyecare Midwest mutually provided primary eyecare, eyewear, and surgical eyecare. During this period of time the practice was located in Gladstone and also acquired locations in Liberty and Platte City, Missouri.

On January 1, 2002 Drs. Bennett and Bednar separated their practices from Eyecare Midwest and created their current practice, Bennett EyeCare Midwest. 2002 was a big year for Bennett EyeCare Midwest for another reason, this is the year that Dr. David Tischinski joined our practice.

Today, we pride ourselves in not only being one of the largest eyecare practices but also being one of the best and most and most progressive eyecare practices in the Kansas City area. We provide comprehensive eye exams, contact lens services and materials, emergency eyecare, spectacles, and pre-operative and post-operative surgical eyecare to patients of all ages and means.

As of March 2009, Dr. Abbie Rondeau has joined the Bennett EyeCare Midwest family. Dr. Rondeau sees patients at our Platte City and Liberty locations.
