We Use the“Three O’s” Method of Eye Care

The eye is the means by which we see the world. Because our eyes are so important to us, we believe that several different yet related specialties are needed for complete and thorough eye care. We were one of the first vision centers in the United States to utilize the Integrated Eye Care model, which features the“Three O’s”, opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists, integrated at one facility. In our practice, this system puts patients first, in a professional environment of respect that facilitates excellence in care.

Our Newest Partner

The Center for Eye Care and Optical welcomes Dr. Strachovsky as a partner with open arms and looks forward to the bright future that his expertise will bring to our practice. We remain steadfast in our mission to provide top-tier medical care to our community, and Dr. Strachovsky's partnership further solidifies our commitment to excellence in eye care.
