Bedford Family Eye Care recently
announced the addition of Dr. Anna Farouq to join the growing practice starting
August 2017. This also comes at a time when Bedford Family Eye Care was just
awarded the 2017 Bedford Bulletin Readers’ Choice Award for Favorite Eye Care
Practice in Bedford County. It appears the old saying is true, “growth is built
on happy customers,” and in this case, happy patients.
“We are incredibly honored to be voted
the 2017 Favorite Eye Care Practice in Bedford County. It is truly a joy to
serve this community. Thanks to all who voted and for all those who place their confidence in us.” says Dr. Quesenberry. He adds, “And we are very excited
to welcome Dr. Anna Farouq to join our growing practice. She brings a lot of
expertise and energy to our practice especially in terms of specialty contact
lenses and primary medical eye care. I think you will find her very thorough, caring
and informative. I took my time in finding the right person, and I think you
will like her too.”

Dr. Farouq joins Bedford Family Eye
Care following 8 years at a large award-winning practice in central Virginia. “I was looking for a smaller, growing practice in this area
where I could continue to provide personalized eye care but also
invest in the practice and community and develop long-term patient
relationships,” Dr. Farouq says. “I have a four year old daughter and a two
year old son at home and so I also wanted to work part-time now to invest more
time with my family especially while my children are young. It’s a win-win
situation for me. I was thrilled when I heard of this opportunity. I look
forward to starting off part-time, and as Bedford Family Eye Care grows, I can
increase my days there at the practice.”

This certainly seems like a match for
the Bedford Family Eye Care practice. The practice has recently begun to offer
specialty scleral lenses as another treatment modality for patients with
irregular corneal surface conditions as well as surgical co-management options
for cataract surgery and LASIK. Dr. Farouq is one of the area’s leading
specialty contact lens providers.
Additionally, Bedford Family Eye Care
has taken a particular interest in staying current with the latest research on
pediatric vision care.
“Cutting edge research is coming out
right now and it actually shows that we can do something proactive to help prevent
and slow myopia progression.” The research shows that by using specialty
contact lenses and eye drops we can help prevent a growing child’s eyes from
progressing as quickly and can actually alter the refractive end-point so that
they don’t end up as nearsighted” Dr. Farouq says. “Many children and their
parents are really shocked to learn that there are now things we can do
proactively to help them besides fitting them for glasses.” Dr. Farouq started at Bedford Family Eye Care practice in August 2017.
