“
I can’t say enough good things about my visit with Dr. Deutscher. She's warm, approachable, and truly invested in her patients. She helped correct issues with my vision that have been going on for years. She truly listens, so rare in today's medical world. Not to mention her tremendous (and extremely friendly) staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Deutscher and her team.”

Dr. Deutscher has been practicing optometry for 19 years. She earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the State University of New York and completed her undergraduate studies at Mount Holyoke College. She believes an eye exam should be a thorough assessment of the patient’s needs, ocular health, and visual function. She loves her work and cares deeply for her patients. It was her dream to create an office that offers a standard of eye care that most patients have never experienced. In April 2009, Bright Eyes Optometry was established on the principles of guaranteed quality, convenience, and neighborly service.
