Overview
Dr. Aylin Adem is a licensed optometrist at the Orange office on Boston Post Road, seeing patients of all ages from preschoolers to older adults. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in neuroscience and studio art at CUNY Hunter College as a Yalow Scholar, then her Doctor of Optometry at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.
Her training covered the medical half of optometry in depth: diagnosing and managing disease of the eye and lids, prescribing corrective lenses, and the preventive side that keeps small changes from becoming sight loss. In practice that means glaucoma and raised eye pressure followed on a schedule, diabetic retinal checks reported back to the physician, dry eye treated by cause rather than with another bottle of drops, and infections, allergy and injuries seen quickly.
She fits glasses and contact lenses for first-time wearers and long-term ones, and spends the time it takes with children, where the point of the visit is not a pass or fail but whether both eyes are developing and working together.
Dr. Adem is fluent in Turkish and Bulgarian, which matters in a county where plenty of patients would rather discuss their own eyes in their first language. Outside the clinic she draws, travels and spends time with her family.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Adem?
Call the Orange office in Orange, Connecticut on 203-795-5000 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Adem by name, say whether the visit is a routine exam, a contact lens fitting or an eye problem, and have your vision or medical plan details to hand so cover can be checked before you arrive.
What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Adem?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined. Your pupils may be dilated, which leaves vision blurry and light sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan for someone else to drive if you are unsure.
