Dr. Farzana Abdul-Ali, OD

Dr. Farzana Abdul-Ali is a Doctor of Optometry seeing patients at the Gainesville office on Atlas Walk Way, a short drive from the Virginia Gateway shops and convenient for families across Prince William County. She sees adults and children for routine eye examinations, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, and for the eye problems that come up in between those visits.

A full examination with her covers more than the letter chart. She measures how clearly each eye sees at distance and near, checks how the two eyes focus and work together, looks at the front surface of the eye and the lids, tests eye pressure, and examines the retina and optic nerve for the early signs of glaucoma, diabetic damage and macular change. Where something needs watching, she sets the interval herself rather than leaving it to the next annual reminder.

Patients come to her for first glasses and first contact lenses, for the slow blur that creeps in through the thirties and forties, for dry, gritty eyes after long days on a screen, for red or sore eyes that need looking at the same week, and for the yearly diabetic eye check that a family doctor has asked for. She also handles the paperwork side that patients rarely think about: school vision forms, driving standards and reports back to the referring physician.

Her licence and training record are confirmed against the Virginia Board of Optometry register, and the practice welcomes most major vision and medical plans. Call the office to check that your own plan is in network before you book.
