I can’t say enough good things about this optometrist, Dr. Bennett. From start to finish, the care was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. An excellent experience overall — I would highly recommend!
My husband and I have been patients of Dr Noonan and Dr Carroll for many years. And now, with the addition of Dr Bennett, this practice will continue to provide outstanding care. The doctors are knowledgeable and offer the newest technology. But they are also patient and compassionate, allowing time for questions and explanations regarding care. The office environment is welcoming. The exceptional staff (Anna, Barbara, & Linda) are willing to accommodate requests for appointments, as well assist with insurance issues. Without hesitation I highly recommend Stratford Eyecare Associates !!
I have been a patient of Dr. Bennett for over 10 years, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She consistently goes above and beyond for her patients, and her level of care is truly exceptional. On multiple occasions, I have reached out to her with concerns, and she has personally taken the time to call me back and provide thoughtful and effective solutions. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about her commitment to her patients. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely caring and attentive. I always feel heard, supported, and confident that I am receiving the best possible care. I am so grateful to have her as my eye doctor and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding and compassionate care.
Dr. Bennett and staff are always very professional and helpful. I take my kids for their vision exams with Dr. Bennett as well and she is fantastic with them! Highly recommend for your whole family.

Dr. Bennett is absolutely wonderful! I’ve been seeing her for many years and she is always professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explains things clearly and makes every visit feel easy and comfortable. I was so glad to follow her to her new practice and would recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic eye doctor.
I had an outstanding experience at Stratford Eyecare Associates. Having worked in eyecare offices myself, I’m very particular—and this practice truly stands out. The staff is efficient, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and the doctors are thorough, professional, and clearly patient-focused. The office runs exactly how a top-tier eyecare practice should. Highly recommend without hesitation.
We had an amazing experience with Dr. Narvan! Our daughter was struggling with double vision and needed glasses, which was very intimidating for her. Dr. Narvan was incredibly patient and went above and beyond to make her feel like a superstar. Not only is her vision perfectly corrected now, but she walked out feeling so confident in her stylish new glasses. We couldn’t ask for a better doctor! 🙂
It's an excellent place; everyone is very kind and helps you with whatever you need. Dr. Bennett is an excellent eye doctor, very kind and friendly, and she's very good and patient with children. My daughters have been seeing her for 4 years, and they adore her.
Dr. Bennett is an amazing doctor! She is very kind and thorough! I will be returning to her for all of my eyecare needs in the future.
[Dr. Narvan Bennett is the] best doctor I’ve ever had. She is patient, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. She takes the time to listen and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your care👍
I have been a patient of Dr. Lisa Carroll for 40 years. She is the best of the very best. I made a mistake of ordering glasses online with my prescription and it was cheaper; however, the glasses did not line up with my eyes. The old expression: you get what you pay for. Totally unuseable glasses online. I learned a very hard lesson. You do not want to mess up your eyesight.
I had a great experience at eye care associates. I had Dr. Noonan and he was great! You could tell he really cared and wanted to be there. He was very thorough and I’d highly recommend!
Everyone was so nice. Dr. NOONAN is great!! Finding a new eye Dr after moving to CT from NY was not easy. But I'm glad I did my research and found this office. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed
I have never had a better experience at a doctors office than here! The receptionists are lovely. Dr. Noonan made me feel comfortable, and did a through job! Thanks everyone!!
