Clear, Comfortable Vision at Every Age

One of my favorite parts of practicing in West Hartford is seeing neighbors from every life stage walk into Central Eye Care. A curious toddler, a fourth grader squinting at the board, a college student living on screens, a parent juggling work and bedtime stories, a grandparent wanting to maintain independence – each has different vision needs. Early on, we’re watching how the eyes work and how clearly the brain is learning to see. School-age years are about crisp focus to enable learning progress. In adulthood, we fine-tune for screen time, dry eye, and tiny print. Later in life, focus shifts to cataracts, glaucoma, macular changes, while keeping you confident and safe. Wondering what’s normal for your age? A  comprehensive eye exam is a great place to start. You can learn more about vision at every age on our blog.

West Hartford isn’t just a place, it’s a pulse.

Our town is a sophisticated, welcoming hub where commerce and community intertwine. Its business landscape blends the appeal of global brands with the authenticity of local entrepreneurship. Anchored by West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square, it attracts visitors from across the state and beyond. Westfarms adds a luxury retail dimension that enhances our economic magnetism. But West Hartford’s true charm lies in its neighborhoods; Elmwood’s cultural richness, Park Road’s eclectic flair, the energetic Home Design District, and the evolving retail heart of Bishops Corner. Each brings its own flavor, collectively creating a town that feels expansive and intimate. At the heart of it is the West Hartford Chamber, representing over 600 businesses and nonprofits, driving growth, fostering collaboration, and championing the town’s entrepreneurial spirit.

Supporting local here isn't a trend, it's a way of life.
