Summary
Dr. Mayer Teles, O.D.
Founder & Owner-Optometrist · Looking Glass Optical, Pasadena, MD · Practicing since 1995
Dr. Mayer Teles earned his Doctor of Optometry from the Southern College of Optometry in 1965 and founded Looking Glass Optical in 1995. Thirty-one years later, he still brings that same hands-on approach to every exam, holding Maryland's highest level of optometric certification and specializing in comprehensive primary family vision care — from fitting virtually every type of contact lens, including hard-to-fit scleral lenses, to pediatric and sports vision evaluations. Patients consistently point to his patient education: taking the time to walk through what he's seeing and why, and using advanced diagnostic technology to back it up. Outside the practice, often on the tennis court or visiting a national park.
