Maureen O´Dwyer, OD

Optometrist

After receiving my degree in Optometry from the State University of New York in 1999, I became Assistant Professor of Optometry at the Weill Cornell Medical Center and the New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

I transitioned into private practice as a Board Certified Optometrist. I have worked with the Department of Education, helping to ensure that all school-aged children received vision screenings, and that children with serious vision problems received the evaluation and treatment they needed early on. I have also volunteered to collect and process glasses to donate to missions that provide eye care in Ghana.

Optometry is more than a job. It is my passion. I continue to take courses to stay up to date on the latest ocular medical treatments and technologies.

Jennifer Colavito, OD

Optometrist

From a very young age, I was fascinated about how the eye and visual system work.

I majored in BioChemistry at NYU and went on to receive my doctorate degree from SUNY State College of Optometry. I then went on to complete a residency in Ocular Disease at the NY Harbor Health Care System. A few years later, I became a fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and recently served as President of the New York Chapter from 2014-2016. Currently, I am a part-time consultant for the Department of Education, providing eye exams to NYC school children. For the past 17 years I've worked in a private practice setting.

My favorite part of clinical practice is getting to know my patients, talking with them about their visual needs and applying technology and research to their particular situation, in order to make the best possible decisions about their vision and health together.
