This is a professional, personable, caring, kind, competent and well priced practice. So much more than your run of the mill optometrists. After seeing Nicole and Dr. Arlene, two excellent care providers, I feel very reassured about my eye health as well as my visual prescription. Recommended !!

Having keratoconus I’ve struggled for years with my vision and with finding a good “fit” with rigid lens. My condition was sever enough to require placement of an “intac” in my left eye and even still was was unable to get a good “fit” in a rigid lens. After years of wearing a hard lens in my right and a soft lens in my left (which offered very little in terms of improving my vision) I told my doctor I needed more options and didn’t care what the cost were. I was referred to Hartsdale Family Eyecare to meet with Dr. Arlene Schwartz to discuss the possibility of being fit for a “Scleral” lens. My experience has been nothing short of phenomenal!!! The vision I’m getting in my left eye is beyond what I hoped for and better than it has been been since I was diagnosed with keratoconus 18 years ago. I’ve only been in my “scleral” a few weeks but I know I won’t be going back to a soft lens again. My only regret is not knowing about this option years ago before having surgery on my left eye and getting an intac. Anybody who struggles with keratoconus know how it is to sometimes feel hopeless due to our vision. I truly feel like I’ve been given the gift of sight again thanks to Dr Arlene Schwartz and Hartsdale Family Eyecare.

Dr. Schwartz is great. I highly recommend her. She took her time with me during my eye exam and fully explained each and every step. Her office staff is also very friendly and helpful. I will be making an appointment for my husband as well!

Dr. Schwartz came recommended to us for our 8 year old son’s myopia which was progressing quickly in the last year. We came for contact lenses and she introduced us to OrthoK lenses. Now our son no longer needs glasses and has 20-20 vision! Dr. Schwartz and her team have been fantastic and extremely patient. I highly recommend them!

As a TMJ specialist site acuity is of utmost importance when making orthotics for patients. I was fitted for Scleral Lens by Dr. Schwartz. She was able to attain visual clarity for me that no doctor in the past had been able to accomplish. She knows her stuff

As a healthcare provider myself, I have high standards and seek excellence in those who provide my healthcare. Dr. Schwartz is outstanding. She has a remarkable and exceptional fund of knowledge of eye disease. Furthermore, for the benefit of her patients she takes full advantage of a variety of state-of-the-art equipment that she maintains. She is caring, clear and patient in explaining what’s going on and providing her recommendations for treatment. I very highly recommend her practice.

Reduce Digital Eye Strain and Fatigue | Blue Light Protection

If you use computers or digital devices for more than 2 hours per day, as 90% of US adults do, you may be susceptible to digital eye fatigue. Digital eye fatigue is defined as ocular discomfort experienced after prolonged exposure to digital screens. Biofinity Energys contacts are the latest line of contacts by Cooper Vision, designed to prevent discomfort from computers, cell phones, and tablets. Unlike regular contact lenses, they have Digital Zone Optics which are multiple aspheric curves in the lens to provide optimal viewing for close, far, and mid range. Because people blink less while using digital devices, Cooper Vision incorporated aquaform technology which prevents dry eyes due to digital device use.
