Dr. Patricia Fulmer, OD, has incorporated aesthetic services into her practice since opening in 2020, viewing them as a natural extension of comprehensive eye care. Her approach focuses on the entire periocular region and the connection between appearance, eyelid function, ocular comfort, and ocular surface health. In her practice, she uses advanced in-office technologies, including OptiLIFT® with Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt™), to address both aesthetic goals and functional eyelid support.

Dr. Fulmer shares her perspective on why aesthetics and traditional eye care are becoming increasingly interconnected. She discusses how common periocular concerns—including under-eye bags, eyelid laxity, and changes in muscle tone—can overlap with functional concerns, and how OptiLIFT fits into an approach that considers both appearance and eye function. She also shares insights on integrating aesthetic services into an optometric practice, including patient engagement, staff training, workflow, patient loyalty, referrals, and practice growth.
