Newsweek releases 2022 rankings of America’s Best Eye Doctors

Newsweek has announced their annual ranking of the nation’s top optometrists and ophthalmologists.

In partnership with Statista, the organization surveyed over 10,000 optometrists, ophthalmologists, clinic managers, and other healthcare professionals across the US to narrow down the 350 best doctors: 175 optometrists and 175 ophthalmologists.

The criteria for best doctors included a focus on those who had earned the most respect from their peers in three categories: quality of care they provide, continuity of care, and the quality of the technology they use in their practices.

Of note: opticians were not among those ranked.
