Our optometrists, Drs. Maria and Harvey Richman, and Dr. Kathleen Kinzley, are happy to fulfill all of your eye care needs. Comprehensive eye exams are available through the office six days per week.
Our eye doctors have taken a progressive approach to healthcare by integrating electronic health records and electronic medicine prescribing in their practice
he doctors have developed their office to provide specialty eye care to the community. Children as young as infants can be objectively examined, school aged children can be evaluated to rule out visually-related learning problems, and the visually impaired population can be offered help when they are told “nothing else can be done.”
Drs. Richman receive referrals from schools, nurses, doctors and other professionals from all over the state for their specific skills and styles. See special section on low vision.
