Specialties
Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetes is a disease that can affect the entire body, but it’s infamous for having significant effects on your eyes. That’s why, if you have or are at risk for diabetes, it’s important to have an eye doctor look for related conditions like diabetic retinopathy.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, and due to its tendency to cause vision loss without warning, it’s been dubbed the “silent thief of sight.”
Pre and Post Operative Eye Care
A successful and comfortable surgical experience should put just as much focus on pre- and post-operative care as the procedure itself. Dr. Bohnert provides compassionate care to patients before and after virtually any eye surgery to ensure the smoothest recovery and clearest vision for our patients!
Ocular Disease
It’s important to identify potential eye conditions early to safeguard against vision loss. Dr. Bohnert is able to identify potential issues long before they show symptoms and personalize treatment plans to maximize patient success.
Get to Know Dr. Bohnert
Dr. Bohnert was born and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Go Packers! She escaped the winters of Wisconsin and attended optometry school at NOVA Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. After Dr. Bohnert graduated from optometry school, she and her husband moved to Texas for a new adventure. Once Dr. Bohnert started practicing, ocular disease became her passion and inspired her to educate patients on the effects of systemic health on the eye. Dr. Bohnert’s hobbies include working out, playing golf, and relaxing with her two savannah cats.
