About Dr. Caroline Crisostomo

After earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Virginia, I went on to receive my doctorate at SUNY College of Optometry.

My clinical experiences include primary care, ocular disease, specialty contact lenses, and myopia management through rotations at Gouverneur Health Center, Ezra Medical Center and the University Eye Center in New York City. After matriculation, I transitioned into private practice as a Board Certified Optometrist. I am very passionate about the work that I do and am committed to providing personalized and quality eye care to all of my patients and promoting ocular and visual health.

Sunglasses are no longer just for fashion...

Although sunglasses can be fabulous fashion accessories, they are extremely important when it comes to your eye health. Sunglasses provide protection for both your eyes and the sensitive skin around your eye area.  While shopping for sunglasses, you should look for sunglasses that block out 99 percent of both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays.  When you purchase sunglasses with UV protection, you are both protecting your eyes from the sun's damaging rays, high energy visible blue light, and enhancing your vision.
