Our motto is "We Solve Vision Problems". Many times, our patients don't even know they have a vision problem so it is up to us to identify the problem and solve it. We change lives for the better every day.Medical eye problems can be devastating as we age. Cataracts and glaucoma are treatable if identified early. Macular degeneration can lead to functional blindness if not caught early. We diagnose, treat and refer to sub-specialists when necessary. Systemic medical conditions can have eye manifestations. We can diagnose diabetics, hypertensives and even brain tumors and increased intracranial pressure through a thorough eye exam. Annual optometric care safeguards your vision and can save your life.Our office was founded in Middletown over 75 years ago by the late George W. Palmer, OD and has remained true to his vision of treating our patients like family. The Palmer Eyecare Center with Jeffrey M. Palmer, OD, and now with Martin L. Hellman, OD is the area's oldest, private optometric practice and family eyecare center. We are privileged to have been entrusted to safeguard the vision of many tens of thousands of area residents for over 75 years. Your parents and grandparents and great-grandparents may have gotten their eyes examined and their eyeglasses from us. Call for an appointment and find out why.
