“What all of these ‘change agents’ have in common is that they possess not only a clear vision of the future, but also a clear sense of how to get there,” says Dr. Melissa Lambright, Founder of SIGHT Eye Health in West Hartford. “This group is comprised of leading innovators who not only possess tremendous foresight; but also live their values and have a great generosity of spirit.”

SIGHT cherishes the values of these visionaries, as the eye health practice also strives to always transcend convention. “We make it a priority to find cutting-edge techniques and therapies to perform eye examinations and offer specialized treatments, as well as eyewear that sets new trends in design and leads the way in innovative ideas. We are on a continuous quest to provide our patients with unique access to the best of everything,” says Dr. Lambright.
