Dr. Omar Munshi received his Doctorate of Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry with Advanced Studies in Binocular and Pediatric Vision. He received his Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology from Fairfield University. Dr. Munshi decided to pursue a career in optometry after working as a vision therapist with a pediatric optometrist for nearly two years prior to obtaining his Doctorate degree. He has had extensive training in vision therapy for patients who present with a wide range of ocular and neuro-visual rehabilitation needs. Dr. Munshi specializes in performing sensorimotor examinations which help evaluate for binocular vision disorders. Examples of binocular vision disorders include convergence insufficiency, eye turns (Strabismus), and lazy eye (Amblyopia). Patients who suffer from these conditions will experience symptoms of visual fatigue, inattentiveness, and discomfort. In both children and adults, these vision issues may go undetected which as a result may hinder academic and athletic performance. Dr. Munshi has completed clinical rotations focusing on primary eye care, binocular vision/pediatrics, and ocular disease. In addition, he has training in pre- and post-operative care enabling him to provide comprehensive eye care to all patients. Dr. Munshi is currently accepting new patients ages 4 and up.
