Dr. Jessica Palmer of Narrows Family Eye Care is a leader in the field of clinical eye care and vision disorders.
Palmer, who has been in private practice for nine years, provides patients with eye health examinations, refractive exams for contacts/glasses, vision therapy-eye exercises for children with crossed or lazy eye, ocular disease management-glaucoma, macular degeneration and other vision concerns.
Palmer is passionate about helping others and it shows. It began with her love of science combined with her innate compassion for others. She found the perfect profession in the field of optometry.
“I knew early on that I wanted to be in the medical field,” she said. “I loved science and helping others. I chose optometry because there is something special about being able to help someone see clearly. I believe your vision is your most valuable sense, and that how you see can affect your whole disposition in life.”
Palmer pursued her passion in college and graduated from Troy State University in Troy, Alabama, with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1999. She obtained her Doctorate of Optometry degree from the University of Alabama, Birmingham in 2005.
She is a leader in her profession and is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Alabama Optometric Association, the Birmingham Area Optometric Society and the University of Alabama, Birmingham, School of Optometry Alumni Association.
“We believe in top-notch service, with current diagnostic equipment and quality eyewear. We go above and beyond to help you see clearly,” she said.
