We’re number 1! 🥇 Thank you, Milford, for voting us Best Eyecare Provider!

A few words from our founder, Dr. Samantha Rao:

When I opened Bright Eyes Milford, I had one goal: to build the kind of practice where patients feel genuinely cared for. Today, I'm beyond honored to share that Bright Eyes Milford has been voted 🥇 1st Place – Best Eyecare Provider in the 2026 Best of the Milford Region Awards.

As a practice owner, there's no greater compliment than earning the trust of the community you serve. Knowing that so many of you took the time to vote for us is something I truly don't take for granted.

To every patient who has trusted me and our team with your eye health, recommended us to your family and friends, or supported Bright Eyes Milford over the past two years, thank you. You've helped turn a dream into a thriving practice, and I'm grateful every single day that I get to do what I love in such an incredible community. This recognition also belongs to our amazing team, whose kindness, expertise, and dedication make Bright Eyes Milford such a special place.

Thank you, Milford, for welcoming us, supporting us, and allowing us to be part of your lives. I can't wait to continue caring for this community for many years to come!
