At Carytown Optometry, we believe you deserve quality eye care that meets your needs. Dr. Benjamin Gates, OD, provides comprehensive vision care to those in Carytown and beyond. As a Virginia Licensed Optometrist, Dr. Gates specializes in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases, conditions, and risk factors that can affect your vision—many of which do not always have obvious symptoms. In addition to preventive and corrective eye care like glasses and contact lenses, we can also treat red eyes, floaters, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and eye injuries. We can even provide care for vision complications related to allergies, dry eyes, and diabetes.
Dr. Gates will always take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options, and listen to your eye care needs. We believe that maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, so we encourage you to ask questions and share any important health information that could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing, and treating potential vision problems.

Wonderful place! I had something fly into my eye and came running here to get help. They were about 30 seconds from closing but dropped everything and helped me get it out in a matter of seconds. Super friendly, helpful, and all-around wonderful!
