History

Established in 1987.

To preserve and maintain the precious gift of eyesight is an awesome responsibility. In 1987, Charles J. Simon, OD, accepted that responsibility by launching a private optometric practice in Wilmington, DE. From the beginning, he put patients’ needs first.

«I always believed that if I treated everyone as being part of my family, I would do what was best for each of them,» says Dr. Simon.

Growth followed and today, Simon Eye Associates has become one of Delaware’s largest optometric practices with six offices, 13 doctors and about 70 employees. Guided by its motto, «Eye Care for Life,» Simon Eye Associates has built an outstanding reputation by adopting the latest technologies, emphasizing professionalism, and rigorously developing its personal relationships with patients.
