It's Love Your Optometrist Day!

They’re the primary health care professionals for all things vision—from setting you up with prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses to spotting serious eye diseases.

That certainly makes your eye doc deserving of a round of applause on World Optometry Day, which falls on March 23 this year. In cities around the world, optometrists will be celebrated for the special care they provide to patients young and old. 

We at America’s Best are joining in by recognizing our own standout eyecare pros. These optometrists go above and beyond for their patients every day. For them, no eye exam is "just routine." Every day is an opportunity to make someone's world a little brighter, and a little clearer.

We’re proud of the awesome work they do and invite you to Meet America’s Best.
