We believe in giving back to those in need. Dr. Sunil Parekh proudly joined One World Two Eyes in 2024, a non-profit organization that provides essential eye care services to children in underserved communities worldwide.
By supporting One World Two Eyes, we’re helping make a positive impact on the lives of children who may not have access to the eye care they need.
Nearsightedness (myopia) is on the rise, affecting more children than ever before. By slowing progressive myopia, we can help preserve their long-term eye health and vision.
At Rutland Optometry, we want to help kids succeed. Our comprehensive myopia management can help your child achieve their full potential in and out of the classroom.
Our office is conveniently located just minutes from Highway 93 on Highway 33 in the heart of Rutland. Find us inside Willow Park Mall, with ample parking just outside our doors.
