Integrative optometry, dry eye specialty, custom contact lenses, mission-trip volunteer.
Dr. Carrie has practiced optometry for more than 25 years. She's a graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry, and previously served as the managing doctor at Spex in Chicago before bringing her practice to Hilton Head. Her work centers on safer, healthier eyecare — particularly when it comes to long-term treatment and prevention of eye disease.

She co-manages LASIK, cataract, and other surgical cases — handling the workup before surgery and the follow-up after, so patients have one consistent eyecare relationship through the whole process. She's also the practice's lead on Dry Eye Disease, with a treatment philosophy built around non-toxic, naturally-derived products: supplements, lid hygiene, lubricating drops, and an actual treatment plan rather than a sample bottle.
Specialty contact-lens work is another core area — custom multifocals, hybrids, and sclerals for corneal disease and hard-to-fit eyes. New patients welcome at any age.
Outside the clinic she's a regular on optometry mission trips to Mexico, and partners with By The Hand Club for Kids in Chicago to provide vision services and glasses to kids who'd otherwise go without.

We Love Eyes Lid Scrub. It's earned the recommendation.
The 20-20-20 rule. Every twenty minutes at a screen, look at something twenty feet away for twenty seconds. It does more for digital eye strain than any drop on the market.
