SIDNEY--The Blackburn Eye Clinic held its official grand opening on Thursday, January 2, 2025, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house event featuring all types of delicious treats to community members who came out to see the new facility.

Located at 927 23rd Avenue in Sidney, the new facility is quite the upgrade from their former home. Spacious and modern, the clinic is a full-service center for eye care, with two examination rooms, and full-service care for any type of eye treatment. The facility is about three times as large as their former space.

After the ribbon was cut officially opening the facility, Dr. Sean Blackburn made some comments on the importance of the event.

"I came here in June of '95. I bought the practice from Dr. Jerry Adams. I was in college, and wasn't sure what I wanted to do, and I had an eye examination with Dr. Adams my second year of college and he recommended optometry. I looked into it, and I fell in love with it. I'm glad I did," he said.

"I could tell you story after story about how I've changed people's lives, and they've changed mine being part of it. I love children being able to come in and they're having trouble seeing. Then when you give them glasses they can see something they haven't seen before. That just never gets old. The geriatric population come in sometimes and we find a systemic problem that actually changes their life, extends their life. I could tell you stories and stories of people where we've actually saved their lives. We don't just save eyes, we save lives," said Blackburn.

The Blackburn Eye Clinic is open Monday through Thursday from 7 am to 5 pm.
