Harvard Square Eye Care

Harvard Square Eye Care is a family-owned optometry practice offering comprehensive eye exams, dry eye treatment, specialty contact lenses and a curated collection of designer eyewear. Founded in 1961 by Dr. Richard Glugeth, an optometrist known for innovative contact lens work, it is the preferred eye care provider for Harvard University affiliates. Its flagship office sits just steps from Harvard Yard, and the practice is accepting new patients.

In 2002 the practice passed to Dr. Lauren Dickerman, a member of the Glugeth family, who grew it from a single office into a small network of modern, service-focused eye care centers. A Davis Square office opened in 2007, followed by Belmont in 2015 and Martha’s Vineyard in 2022. Along with clinical care, the practice has become known for fashionable frames and designer eyewear chosen with an eye for style.
