Our passion here at Sight Eyecare is giving sight to the entire family. Specializing in pediatric eyecare, we are able to do just that! Dr. Sechler obtained her fellowship in vision development to help further her love of caring for the youngest of patients. She specializes in full comprehensive pediatric eye exams and the management of amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (turned eye), as well as learning related vision disorders.
​
What sets Sight Eyecare apart from the rest? A focus on family. Exceptional care and service is top priority. Not only will you receive a state of the art ocular exam, but also feel like you were treated as a member of our family. Not to mention leaving in a really awesome pair of glasses to take on the world around you!
