Meet the Optometrists

She majored in biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and went on to graduate from the Southern California College of Optometry in 2002. After graduation, she felt a draw to Sacramento, and began practicing at Eyes on J in 2002. In 2004, she purchased the practice, and is proud to share her education with her patients.
As part of her dedication to her patients, Dr. Swanson participates in many forms of Continuing Education. In addition, she is a member of the American Optometric Association, the California Optometric Association, and the Sacramento Valley Optometric Society.

She also canvassed for recyclable eyewear for the Gift of Sight program, which offers corrective eyewear for those in need in third-world countries.
