As a Doctor of Optometry, Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, and Air Force officer, my mission has always been to deliver exceptional eye care in the most critical and underserved environments.

From my years as an Optometry Flight Commander at the U.S. Air Force Academy to my role leading national tele-optometry partnerships, I’ve worked at the intersection of clinical innovation, military readiness, and healthcare accessibility. I’ve operated in forward-deployed settings and also built scalable solutions to bring quality vision care to FQHCs, rural clinics, and government health systems.

Most recently, I served as Senior Government Account Liason and FQHC Account Manager at DigitalOptometrics, where I led enterprise engagements and helped deploy virtual eye care solutions across the U.S., supporting multi-state provider expansion.

Whether in uniform or in civilian life, I remain focused on building systems that expand access to care, improve clinical outcomes, and support the communities and service members who need it most.

A Fond Farewell and a New Chapter Ahead

To my wonderful patients,

It’s with a mixture of excitement and sadness that I share some personal news: I’ll soon be moving to Australia to be closer to my husband’s family. My son will soon be able to spend quality time with his grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles that have previously been so far away. This decision, while full of promise for the future, also means saying goodbye to something very dear to me—caring for each and every one of you.

Being your Optometrist has been a privilege and an honor. I’ve cherished the trust you placed in me, whether it was your very first eye exam, a challenging diagnosis, or simply picking out the perfect pair of glasses. Getting to know you and your families over the years has made my work incredibly meaningful and fulfilling.

I want to sincerely thank you for allowing me to be a part of your healthcare journey. Your loyalty, kindness, and conversations have left a lasting impression on me, and I will carry those memories across the world with a full heart.

While I may be leaving this practice and this community, I’m confident that your eye care will continue seamlessly with my trusted colleagues at Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs.

Please know how grateful I am for your support over the years. I will miss you all more than words can express.

With warmest wishes and heartfelt thanks, Lindsay Sallecchia, OD
