Practicing Primary Care Optometry
We believe everyone deserves to see their best to live their best
At National Vision, we believe that the optometrist is the hero of primary eye care, enabling and safeguarding their patient’s ability to experience his or her best vision. For many people, an optometrist is also the first point of contact into the healthcare system. The eyes can offer a window into overall health, and thus this first touch point can be critical for patients getting the care they need for serious conditions. We don’t take that responsibility lightly, which is why National Vision and all independent practices empower Doctors of Optometry to provide the highest quality of care.
