Overview
Dr. Brian Adler completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 1999 and earned his Doctor of Optometry at the Illinois College of Optometry in 2003. He practises at the Kemps River Shopping Center office on Fordham Drive in Virginia Beach.
Two decades in the same kind of practice shapes how he works. He has followed patients from their first pair of glasses to their cataract surgery, and that long view is what makes a one-millimetre change in an optic nerve or a slow drift in a prescription mean something. His examinations cover sight and prescription, eye teaming, the front of the eye, eye pressure and a full look at the retina, with imaging kept on file for comparison.
Patients see him for glasses and contact lenses, for the near vision that starts slipping in the forties, for dry and tired eyes, for diabetic and glaucoma monitoring, and for same-week eye problems: infections, abrasions, foreign bodies and new floaters. He also prepares and follows patients through cataract and laser vision surgery with local surgeons.
Away from the office he spends his time with his wife and son, and is happiest outdoors, usually golfing or fishing.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Adler?
Call the Kemps River Shopping Center office in Virginia Beach, Virginia on 757-523-0161 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Adler 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. Adler?
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.
