Adriana Ferreira

Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology

Overview


I was born and raised in New England, where I completed my undergraduate and graduate training. I consider myself fortunate to have been educated in Boston, renowned as the medical mecca of the world. My interest in child development during college evolved into pursuing pediatrics within optometry. As a pediatric optometrist, I specialize in comprehensive eye care. Through advanced clinical training, I focus on amblyopia, strabismus, myopia progression, and specialty contact lenses, including infant aphakia. My passion lies in empowering patients of all ages to achieve optimal vision and eye health. Since sight is our primary sense, prioritizing it is vital, like any other aspect of health. Patients and their families appreciate my calm, patient, and approachable demeanor. I aim to prioritize a positive patient interaction at every encounter. I look forward to serving your family with compassionate care and expertise. Beyond my practice, I cherish outdoor adventures, creative pursuits, music, and the beach.
