Please rest assured that our office is following all recommended guidance from public health authorities, including best practices for hygiene, infection control, and medical professional team health.

Not sure if you should come in?Please call our office and speak with one of our assistants to discuss your current situation. Telemedicine video-consultations are available to some patients who need to be seen but either cannot or do not wish to come into the office and may be an appropriate option for you. Please call us at (845) 562-0138, to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this telemedicine option.

It is also important to us to assist those patients who have broken or misplaced their glasses or are in urgent need of contact lenses. Please contact us if this is an issue you might be having.

Your continued support and cooperation are greatly appreciated, and we will remain vigilant in our effort to maintain a safe environment for both our patients and staff by continuing to ask our patients when arriving for an appointment, to kindly not come into the office, but instead call (845) 562-0138, Option #6 when you arrive to advise us that you are in the parking lot. Our staff will then do a verbal screening on the telephone and advise you when one of our technicians will be available to meet you at the door and immediately escort you into an exam room.We are attempting to do everything possible to limit the number of interactions our patients have with others.

We kindly ask that you come unaccompanied to your appointment unless it is absolutely necessary.If you feel it is critical that you be accompanied, your accompanier will also be screened. This may include checking your temperature upon arrival.

Otherwise, please do not bring spouses or children to your appointment for everyone's safety and wellbeing.

About Highland Ophthalmology

At Highland Ophthalmology, our goal is to provide the highest quality of ophthalmic care for our patients in a personalized and compassionate setting. We are dedicated to providing the latest medical technology in serving your health needs and strive to be your partner in eye health.

Dr. Mary Davidian and Dr. Thien (Tim) Huynh are ophthalmologists, medical doctors who specialize in eye and vision care. Ophthalmologists are specially trained to provide a full spectrum of eye care, from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to complex and delicate eye surgery.

    

Dr. Mary Davidian, Dr. Thien Huynh and Dr. Julia Mathew have Advanced Fellowship Training in their areas of expertise and together have performed thousands of cataract, refractive, laser and glaucoma surgery procedures. Fellowship Trained medical doctors undergo an additional one to two years of sub-specialty training beyond the required three to four years of general ophthalmology residency training.

Highland Ophthalmology has been providing Specialty Eye Care services in Orange County, NY and the Greater New Windsor area since 1997. Many of our patients are referred to us by other ophthalmologist and optometrist colleagues who regard us as experts in our specialties. Our patients appreciate the Specialty Eye Care they receive in the area of Cataract, Cornea and Glaucoma surgery. Dr. Davidian and Dr. Huynh are affiliated with the leading medical and academic centers in the New Windsor and greater NY Metropolitan area including: The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, The Westchester Medical Center, Central New York Eye Center and Vassar Brothers Medical Center.

Our office is conveniently located in New Windsor, NY. In the past, patients needing specialty eye care services had to be referred to physicians in New York City or Albany, since access to Fellowship Trained Cornea and Glaucoma Surgeons was not available locally. Patients not only had to travel far distances for their surgeries, but also had to continue to travel far for their follow up care.

Our office is within an easy commute from the following areas in the Hudson Valley and Orange County and Dutchess County: New Windsor, Cornwall, Fishkill, Middletown, Florida, Warwick, Monroe, Harriman, Fort Montgomery, Highland Falls, Marlboro, Walden, Wallkill, Pine Bush, Vails Gate, Goshen, Salisbury Mills, Washingtonville, Campbell Hall, Montgomery, West Point, Modena, New Paltz, Highland, Beacon, Castle Point, Wappingers Falls, Poughkeepsie, NY.

With this, Highland Ophthalmology has become New Windsor's leading specialty eye care center. Call (845) 562-0138 today for your first consultation.
