I enjoy getting to know my patients and helping them with everything involved in caring for their eyes, from vision-correction options to the nutritional aspects of eye health. Many eye conditions are directly affected by nutrition. I want patients to understand everything they can do to enjoy optimal eye health throughout their life.” as stated by the doctor.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery. 

Happily married, Dr. Frazee and his wife, Paulette, have two children, Sarah and Laura. He is a computer guru at heart and enjoys building computers and working with technology.
