“I’d definitely go back there. The staff was friendly from registration right until I walk out. I had my 1 year old daughter who wanted to run around and they made sure she was able to do that while another one tend to me. I’d definitely recommend them 10/10.”

“Fitted for new contacts, I thought I needed a stronger prescription but it turned out I needed a weaker prescription. I can truly see much better now. ”

About Dr. Philip Perrino
Dr. Perrino graduated from Villanova University with a B.S. in Business Administration and a minor in Philosophy. He completed both his Doctorate in Optometry and his B.S. in Visual Science in 1990 at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. During this time he served as Vice President of the Student Optometric Service to Humanity and has participated in several medical missions to care for the underprivileged around the world. His concern for the poor most recently brought him to Nigeria to care for a group of widows and orphans who have virtually no access to medical care. He has played an integral part in the completion of a large medical facility for this community as well as funding for schools for the children.
His professional career began as the Center Optometric Director of Community Health Care Plan in Wallingford while simultaneously serving as an affiliate in their New Haven center. During his tenure he earned recognition as an Advanced Optometric Practitioner in CT, which allows him to medically manage a wide variety of ocular diseases and to perform several minor surgical procedures. He later earned the status of Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry which he has maintained to this day. He also maintains affiliations with the National Glaucoma Society, the American Optometric Association, the Connecticut Association of Optometry and serves as a clinical consultant for the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles.
He subsequently founded Royal Vision Associates in 1996 and continues to serve as the chief optometrist. Although highly skilled and passionate in the full range of primary care optometry, he has a particular passion for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, which forms a substantial portion of his practice. He has lectured on this topic, providing his insight and experience to other doctors in New England.
He and his wife, Dr. Frances Sites (who heads their Durham Family Eye Care practice), are most proud of their three children. Family, friends and faith form the backbone of their life. His personal interests include fishing, golf, chess, wine and cooking. Dr. Perrino is known to enjoy conversation (perhaps a little too much at times) and he is always ready and willing to discuss any of these topics with you!

Dr. Perrino and his team are fantastic! The office staff is warm and welcoming, making the entire experience smooth from start to finish. Dr. Perrino himself has a great bedside manner—he’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and truly takes the time to listen. I never felt rushed, and he made sure all my concerns were addressed. It’s clear he puts patient care first. Highly recommend!
