About Us
Our Mission
Gwinnett Pediatric & Adult Eye Center was founded on the belief that every member of our community—no matter their age—deserves access to compassionate, expert eye care. While our practice has grown into a regional leader in pediatric vision health, we quickly recognized a troubling gap in services for older adults, who often face transportation barriers and limited access to routine eye exams. In response, we launched our Mobile Geriatric Eye Care Program, bringing comprehensive, on-site eye health evaluations, treatment, and education directly to assisted living facilities and senior centers. By removing logistical hurdles and billing insurers directly, we’re closing the disparity in senior vision care and helping residents maintain clarity, independence, and quality of life.
