About Dr. Barbara Pittaras

Barbara Pittaras, O.D., F.A.A.O. has been happily practicing optometry since 2002. She earned her undergraduate degree (B.S. in Biology with a minor in Psychology) at the University of South Florida in 1998, where she graduated on the Dean's List of Scholars. Her Doctorate of Optometry degree was completed at Interamerican University in Puerto Rico, where she was awarded the Dr. Angel Romero award for her academic achievements. In 2002 she was awarded the Biocompatible Innovative Research Award by the American Optometric Foundation. During her fourth year training rotations, she proudly served our nation's troops at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Hospital, Ophthalmology and Optometry department, in Landstuhl, Germany. She then went on to complete a Residency program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, School of Optometry, with a focus on Cornea and Contact Lenses. During her residency, she was involved in the project "High and Low Contrast Visual Acuity after LASIK and Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Wear: A Comparative Study", a study which was funded by Ocular Sciences. Giving back to the community and to those less fortunate is important to Dr. Pittaras. She has been on voluntary mission trips to Honduras and Peru, serving the needs of thousands of poverty stricken patients who had no other means to access eye care if it were not for organizations like VOSH who extend their kindness and generosity to help those in need. In 2004, Dr. Pittaras earned the designation of Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. The letters FAAO mean that the doctor is recognized by his or her colleagues as a knowledgeable and experienced professional who has met the high standards of professional competence in a broad range of issues related to eye care..
