Dr. Kimberly Deugwillo, Low Vision Optometrist

Dr. Kimberly Deugwillo OD, MSLVR, FIALVS, is a distinguished low vision specialist with a passion for making a difference in the lives of those suffering from severe vision loss. With over 15 years of experience, she has dedicated her career to helping patients whose vision challenges have left them feeling, as though traditional solutions are no longer an option.

Dr. Deugwillo received her Bachelor of Science with honors from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and her Doctor of Optometry and Masters in low vision rehabilitation from Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 2006 with high honors. She completed her residency in 2007 at The Eye Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Deugwillo completed Low Vision Training with the renowned Dr. Richard Shuldiner, OD, FAAO, FIAVLS.

Dr. Deugwillo’s commitment to excellence and genuine compassion for patients led her to hone her skills in low vision care and learned to leverage advanced optical devices, such as customized telescopes, microscopes, and other sophisticated optical systems, to enhance the quality of life for patients. Many of these patients suffer from conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

As a low vision specialist, Dr. Deugwillo collaborates with retinal specialists to transform the lives of patients who no longer find conventional eyeglasses effective. For these patients, low vision aids like bioptics, telescopes, and microscopes become powerful tools, enabling them to regain independence and perform everyday tasks that may have seemed impossible.
