Crowley
Louisiana Eye & Vision Center decided to expand the opportunity to bring advanced eye care to another area in Acadia Parish that was largely underserved to medical eye care.
The new venture brought us to Crowley, known as the Rice Capital of the world. The first doors opened in June 2016, and the need was apparent and well received. The City of Crowley needed an eye care facility that offered consistently advancing medical eye care and more fashionable eyewear options. After 6 years of serving Crowley, it was time to establish a clear decision that the doctor pair was here to stay. The search was on for a more permanent location to accommodate a new larger state of the art clinic that they could truly call their own. They decided to take an older vacant building that had served the community as an auto parts store and turn it into a beautifully redesigned building to serve the future of medical eye care in the community.
After eleven months of construction, the new office location opened the doors January 5, 2026 with over 6,000 square feet of space to expand the ever growing need in the parish. The outside reflects the clean and crisp LA Eye color scheme of black and white, with the grand appearance of the two large logos to attract passerby’s to the office. The inside boasts eight exam rooms with a laser and surgery procedures room, a full finishing lab for cutting eyeglass lenses as quick as 1 day, a 1,200 square foot optical fully stocked with fashionable eyewear for the whole family and plenty of space for patient and staff comfort. The office has a traditional yet modern appeal with cool blue hues of paint and wallpaper and natural white oak wood finishes and furnishings and black hardware. The office has custom white oak wood shelving and cabinetry throughout the entire office. The optical has several different ways of displaying frame-wear, keeping the eyes constantly intrigued. The backdrop behind the white quartz receptionists’ area is the center point when walking in featuring floor to ceiling zellige subway tile with the company’s recognizable black logo floating on the wallpaper inset. Textured wallpaper was used throughout the office to offer a home-like feel giving patients a comfortable trusting experience. The office even has what the doctors and staff like to call a “bougie” bathroom with gold fixtures, beautiful floral wallpaper and a white quartz oversized lavatory area. The interior color schemes and finishes were conscientiously designed with the teamwork of the talented Kennedy Williams with August Interiors, Dr. Smith-Boudreaux and her sister Gretchen’s helpful advice. The unparalleled vision was months in the making trying to completely change the visual appearance of the new office from our two previous offices. Dr Smith-Boudreaux spent hundreds of hours looking at design references, diligently deciding how best to bring a “wow factor” to the new office. The hope was that the people of this great city would recognize that the doctors took an old structure and revitalized it into the beauty that was created as a sign of the investment into the future of the city to bring the best to Crowley. The one of a kind appearance sought beauty, professionalism, comfort and dedication.
