 Barry Kavanaugh, OD, FAAO, FCOVD
Started Seven Lakes Eye Care in 1989
Dr. Kavanaugh’s philosophy is to treat his patients like he would want to be treated. To this end, he has equipped his new handicapped-accessible office with the latest state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, and combines this with an “old-school” attention to his patient’s concerns. Providing a customized examination for each patient based on his / her presenting problems, he has a unique ability to uncover and treat eye-teaming or visual processing problems that contribute to his patients’ difficulties.
Dr. Kavanaugh is only one of a few optometrists in the state to have double fellowships in the American Academy of Optometry and The College of Optometrists in Vision Development. He will soon be completing the process for fellowship in the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association.
