Just as the title says, I'm hoping to find a good eye doctor in or around Providence. I broke my newest (3+ years old) glasses, and my backups with an older prescription are not cutting it. I'm hoping to find a doctor who has experience with diplopia, if possible, but will welcome any suggestions.

Does anyone have someone they’d recommend?

Advanced Eyecare Associates is where I go, and I’ve had good experiences with them. Best thing I did this year though was get my script for my glasses from them (through my insurance), then went to the newish Warby Parker on Thayer to get my glasses. Nearly all the frames are $99 including anti-glare lenses!!

Eyediology in Wayland Square is fantastic. It’s a new business I believe and the doctor is really nice and I know she would be good with kids

Edit just saw the glasses are 3 years old… not a kid

Would second this. I'm in the eye care field (I work farther south in RI) and if you're looking for an eye care provider in Providence, Dr. Bhaghat is a fabulous choice. I've gone to continuing education lectures that she's given and she's truly at the top of her game clinically and a lovely person to boot.

On a similar note, whoever you choose, I'd stay away from larger, high-volume practices like Koch. Particularly if you have diplopia concerns, you will really need individualized care that is best gotten at a smaller private practice.

Haha yes, and my eyes are not happy about it 🤭 thanks for the recommendation!

Is that the place with naked mannequins with glasses?

No I didn’t see anything like that!

I think that's Opt.

Yes, that's an optical only; no eye doctor on-site.
