Dr. Andrew Brauer

Andrew J. Brauer, O.D. received his Doctor of Optometry from Southern College of Optometry and earned his undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois. Dr. Brauer specializes in contact lenses and myopia control. He was among the first doctors in the country to obtain advanced fitting certifications for several specialty contact lenses. He has also been fitting scleral lenses for keratoconus and other conditions for years, including designs with aberration control and decentered optics for the most precise vision possible, even for challenging patients with corneal disease. Enjoying the many challenges and opportunities of being an optometrist, Dr. Brauer believes that many people put up with lackluster vision or comfort in their contact lenses (or worse, drop out altogether), because they have come to think these problems are unavoidable. With the right tools and the right expertise, virtually anyone can experience clear, comfortable vision …in contact lenses. Dr. Brauer says myopia control is one of the most powerful preventative treatments in eye care, in which specialized lenses or eye drop medications are prescribed to slow or stop the eyes from getting worse. Dr. Brauer finds it rewarding to have the ability to have a lifetime impact on patient quality of life. When Dr. Brauer is not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with his wife, kids and their family dog.
