Your Optometrists in Poughkeepsie & Red Hook NY

Eyes are important indicators of overall health, and comprehensive eye care goes beyond a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. At Dutchess Optometry, we take the time to get to know you, your eye care history, and your vision needs. Our optometrists provide the expert care, advice, options, and follow up you need whether you are a new patient or an existing one.

Dutchess Optometry serves patients from New York’s central and north Dutchess County areas. Our optometrists take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, and we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.
