Overview
Dr. Judson Avila holds a Bachelor of Arts from Miami University and a Bachelor of Science from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, where he also earned his Doctor of Optometry in 2007. He is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Indiana Optometric Association and the Central Indiana Optometric Society, and holds the AOA’s Aviation Vision Certification. He practises at the Willow Lake office on West 86th Street in Indianapolis.
His reason for choosing this work is personal and specific. The improvement in his own vision when he got glasses as a child stayed with him, and so did being fitted with contact lenses at thirteen, which let him play football and baseball without glasses. He wanted to be able to give people that same moment, and it is still the part of the job he names first: the look on a patient’s face when the new prescription goes on and the world comes back into focus.
He sees adults and children for comprehensive examinations, glasses and contact lens fittings, dry eye and urgent eye problems, and he follows glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular change over the years. Teenagers moving into contact lenses are a particular strength, because he knows the fitting from the patient’s side. The aviation vision certification covers the specific standards pilots have to meet, which is a different examination from a routine one.
Outside work he watches football, plays sports with his two children, golfs, takes the family to the mountains to hike, and plays retro video games from the 1990s.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Avila?
Call the Willow Lake office in Indianapolis, Indiana on 317-337-1233 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Avila 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. Avila?
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.
Does Dr. Avila do aviation vision exams for pilots?
Yes. He holds the American Optometric Association's Aviation Vision Certification, which covers the vision standards pilots must meet, including distance and near acuity, colour vision and depth perception. Say when you book that the appointment is for aviation vision so the right tests and paperwork are set up.
