Elevated Eye Care

Sisters Elevate Eye Care and Community Through Optometry, Passion, and Giving Back

In December of 2021, the Blaschke sisters - both Doctors, blended family ties, entrepreneurial spirit, and a shared commitment to community service in their journey as optometrists and business owners, as they opened Elevated Eye Care.  

Dr. Jennifer Blaschke, meticulous and driven, and her younger sister, Dr. Kymber Blaschke, free-spirited and spontaneous, have seamlessly merged their distinct personalities through the creation and management of  Elevated Eye Care. Both share a passion for being community-oriented optometrists in New Braunfels, a town that held special childhood memories for them.

When Elevated Eye Care opened its doors, it symbolized not only the sisters' dreams of elevating patient care and experiences but also their deep-rooted connection to the community they serve. Their practice is a modern haven with a clean, boutique style, reflecting both sisters' tastes and commitment to quality. Dr. Jennifer's expertise in pediatrics, myopia management, and orthokeratology complements Dr. Kymber's growing interest in these areas.

Beyond their roles as optometrists, the sisters are actively involved in community service. Dr. Jennifer serves on the Crisis Center of Comal County Board, while Dr. Kymber volunteers at the Humane Society. Their commitment extends to the Jaycees, where they host socials and engage in various volunteer activities. Their community-focused approach is also evident in the art adorning their office, showcasing local talent.

Their dedication to supporting local extends to their eyewear selection, as they exclusively carry independent frame lines known for their quality. Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Kymber emphasize, "Some of our frames are handmade in the U.S., and most companies we support are small family-owned businesses." This commitment to local businesses is a reflection of their belief in fostering a strong and vibrant community.

As they continue to build connections and grow their practice, the sisters envision Elevated Eye Care not only as a hub for exceptional eye care but also as a pillar of support for the local community they hold dear.
