Our Rexburg clinic
Meet the Team
Dr. Josh Fullmer grew up in the Rexburg area and was excited to merge his office with Premier Eye Care.
Contact UsRexburg's Clinic
Dr. Josh Fullmer knew merging with Premier Eye Care would bring a wide variety of eye care to the Rexburg area, which was something patients needed to leave town to find previously. In the past, older patients were struggling to travel to Idaho Falls for care and others were going as far as Utah to find treatment. Since Rexburg is a rapidly growing place and there was a need for subspecialty care, Dr. Fullmer merged his clinic with Premier Eye Care to better serve his patients in the Rexburg area.
The new facility is incredible and the quality of care is outstanding. Drop by today to see the clinic and schedule an appointment.

Do I need a referral to see one of your doctors?
We are happy to see patients with or without a referral! While setting up your appointment, we will help guide you to which of our specialists will best serve your unique needs.
How long will my appointment likely take?
The length of your appointment depends on several factors including how much testing is required, if you need to be dilated, and if you will be scheduling surgery. For non-dilated appointments, please plan for a minimum of one hour. For dilated appointments, please plan for at least 2 hours. We will make every effort to start your visit on time; however, due to the nature of our specialty practice, which includes emergencies referred from all over Eastern Idaho and Wyoming, we sometimes incur delays. We appreciate your patience.
How often do I need my eyes examined?
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends all adults get a complete eye exam at age 40 to check for early signs of disease or changes in vision. Depending on the health of your eyes, your ophthalmologist may recommend an exam every 1-3 years until the age of 65. After the age of 65, a yearly exam is usually recommended. Age-related eye diseases include: cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma.
How long will my eyes stay dilated?
Most dilating drops last 4-6 hours. Dilation mainly effects your near vision and creates some sensitivity to light. Consequently, most people are able to drive home after an appointment as long as they have a pair of sunglasses (we provide disposable shades if needed). We suggest that you bring a driver to your appointment if you have never been dilated before.
I have been told that I have cataracts. Do you treat cataracts?
Our surgeons have world class training for the diagnosis and treatment of cataracts. We appreciate that each patient has unique concerns and goals when it comes to their eye health and cataract surgery. That is why we treat each visit as an opportunity for open discussion where questions can be answered and understanding can occur. This allows us to customize a plan to meet your individual needs and desires.
Where do your doctors do surgery?
Our surgeons operate at hospitals and surgery centers inIdaho Falls, and Pocatello.
What areas does Premier Eye Care serve?

We have clinics in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello but patients from Salmon to Thayne and Arco to Jackson seek the care of our specialists daily.
