The practice that is now Primary Eyecare began with Dr. Mike DiGirolamo (“Dr. D”) in California in the 1970s, and was relocated to Charlottesville in 1987 as 20/20 Optometry. Dr.D moved to the current Barracks Road location in 1995, providing patients with an expanded facility and easier access.

Drs. Joe and Janice DiGirolamo joined the Primary Eyecare staff in 1996, working with Dr. D until his retirement in the late 1990’s. Since this time, the practice and scope of patient services has continued to grow. We have multiple doctors on staff to assist you in all of your eye care needs.

Today, Primary Eyecare has two state-of-the-art facilities in Charlottesville, VA. We are staffed with highly experienced professionals and provide patients with the very best in eye care and eyewear in a comfortable and friendly environment.

We are able to offer the highest level of service and treatment because of our commitment to the ongoing professional training of our doctors and support staff and our investments in the latest diagnostic and treatment instrumentation.

In addition to our exceptional eye care and health services, Primary Eyecare also offers Central Virginia's most extensive, and exclusive, selection of designer eyewear and sunglasses. The Optical at Primary Eyecare is the place to shop for quality, stylish eyewear that will enhance your image while protecting your eyes.
