Get to know Optometrist Dr. Jason Bart, who serves patients in Massapequa, New York.

An exceptional optometrist, Dr. Bart, who sees patients in  North Massapequa, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to Ultra Vision Optical Center. His comprehensive approach encompasses the detection and treatment of various eye-related issues, including Glaucoma, Dry eye, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, binocular vision problems, allergies, focusing problems, and more.

Before embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Bart graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware and an Optometry degree from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.

Ultra Vision Optical Center, a family-owned and operated business, has been an integral part of the Levittown community for over 45 years- now located in North Massapequa since July 2023! Founded by Dr. Arnold H. Bart in 1974, the mission of the practice is to provide the highest quality eye care, competitive pricing, and personalized service.

Despite the evolving landscape of the optometry business, marked by the rise of large chains and discount stores, Ultra Vision has thrived by maintaining a commitment to guaranteed quality, convenience, and affordability.

The practice has recently relocated from Levittown to North Massapequa, offering enhanced services at the new location. It prides itself on providing comprehensive eye care, including eye exams, quality eyewear, and more. Dr. Jason Bart, at the helm of the practice since 2003, ensures that patients receive personalized attention and the highest standard of care, whether they are long-time patrons or new visitors seeking reliable eye care.

Optometry is a healthcare profession that involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities, as well as diagnosing and managing eye disease. Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary eye care through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases. Being a regulated profession, an optometrist’s scope of practice may differ depending on the location. Thus, disorders or diseases detected outside the treatment scope of optometry (i.e. those requiring certain surgical interventions) are referred out to relevant medical professionals for proper care, more commonly to ophthalmologists who are physicians that specialize in the tertiary medical and surgical care of the eye. Optometrists typically work closely together with other eye care professionals, such as ophthalmologists and opticians, to deliver quality and efficient eye care to the general public.
