About Us

History

Vision Associates has been providing our patients with eye care and eyewear needs for over 50 years. The original practice was in Woonsocket, RI on Clinton Street. Dr. Ronald J. Hall was an associate of Dr. Emery A Houle after his honorable discharge from the Army in 1970. Dr. Ron became a partner and had his own satellite office in Greenville, RI where he would work night hours and see contact lens patients. In 1975, Dr. Joseph L. Rowey joined the practice and eventually became a partner. The practice moved to its current location at 148 Social Street, Woonsocket RI. Dr. Ron and Dr. Joe remained partners for over 45 years and are still close friends to this day. Dr. Dena C. Hall joined the practice in 1994 after graduation. The Greenville location was expanded in 1994. Dr. Eric J. Hall joined the practice in 1999. Dr. Dena and Dr. Eric became partners in due time and purchased the practice from Dr. Ron and Dr. Joe in 2018. The office currently works out of 3 locations.

Eye Care has seen many changes and innovations over the 50 years Vision Associates has been seeing patients. Our scope of practice has widely expanded, and we have always been early adaptors to the technology available to help our staff and patients succeed. What will never change is our commitment to our patients. We are a family practice in every sense.
