One place for excellence in eyecare

Welcome to Brown Eye Associates in Rochester, NY

Ensuring crisp and clear vision is only one part of first-rate eye care. In addition to testing visual acuity, our eye doctors focus on the lasting, quality health of your eyes. Using the latest in optometric technology, such as digital imaging, in our Rochester office, we will inspect your eyes thoroughly with a comprehensive eye and vision assessment.

Our optometric experts stay up to date with the rapid progress of medicine and technology, so you benefit from precise diagnoses and optimal treatments. Many common eye diseases, such as macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma, do not present symptoms until a late stage. For early detection and effective medical treatment of eye disease, visit our highly qualified and skilled eye doctors regularly for a comprehensive eye exam.

What Our Patients Have to Say....

Great service, great staff!

- Kristine D. - Google Review 2019

I refuse to go anywhere else.

Although i do wish the selection of lenses were a little larger, the doctors they have on staff are the best around. I refuse to go anywhere else. I've been a customer for 15 years and my whole family uses them as well. The staff is super friendly and amazing when toddlers are brought in!

- Morgan N. - Google Review 2018

I have been a patient of Dr. Brown’s for over 20 years.

I had to move out of Rochester for several years and I didn't think twice about returning to this practice! They are very progressive. The office is comfortable and the selection of contacts and glasses is very good!

Q&A with Our Doctors | Dry Eye Syndrome

What is the examination like to determine if someone has dry eyes?

A large part of the examination is finding out what the patient is experiencing and determining the type of dry eye causing the symptoms. We examine the surface of the eye under a microscope to look at the quantity and the quality of the tear film. Additionally, we examine the eyelids and the glands inside the eyelids to insure they are healthy.

What are the typical treatments for dry eyes?

There are a wide range of treatments ranging from over the counter products to specialty laser procedures. Many times using artificial tears and vitamin supplements can help boost the tear film. There are prescription eye drops that can aid in tear production as well as laser procedures for patients with more advanced dry eye.

Are there any recommendations to help people avoid dry eye?

Of course – stay hydrated and making sure you consume enough water each day. Additionally, take breaks from your computer and smart phone. I recommend the 20/20/20 Rule – take a 20 second break every 20 minutes and look 20 feet away and blink your eyes. Finally, wearing sunglasses is critical to protecting the surface of the eye and the eyelids from UV exposure.
