Dr. Monika Spokas has built a reputation through extensive experience spanning two decades and a heartfelt dedication to knowledge and innovation. Her specialization in vision development is vital, as it can significantly improve quality of life, enhance learning abilities, and address pressing modern issues. Clarendon Vision Development Center notably offers Myopia Management programs to combat the rising myopia epidemic from the use of electronic devices and neuro-optometry care, providing much-needed relief for head injury complications. For pediatric patients, the center also offers young children and those with special needs a head start to optimize their visual and cognitive development. Dr. Spokas has filled her multidisciplinary practice with experts in various specialized fields with an unwavering belief that one size does not fit all when it comes to medical care, especially vision and eye health. “Our commitment to bringing together a team of true experts is rooted in our belief that every patient deserves comprehensive care under one roof,” she shares.
Each of her associates at Clarendon Vision has completed rigorous residencies that stretch beyond the standard optometry education to include disease management, pediatrics, neurooptometry, developmental optometry, and myopia management. Dr. Spokas herself demonstrates an unwavering passion for learning and using that knowledge to make a difference. “I firmly believe that continuously expanding our expertise is a responsibility we owe to those who rely on us for their medical care,” she says. “What drives me the most is my genuine love for what I do. I’m deeply passionate about making a difference in the quality of life of others, and this passion has led me to provide the best care and service not only to our patients but also to my dedicated team.” This commitment to excellence has established Dr. Spokas as a leading practitioner in the area today.
