Bio

Alexa Fox, OD, is an optometrist with a clinically diverse background as an optometric physician. A biology degree at Saint Thomas Aquinas College came first, then the New England College of Optometry for the Doctor of Optometry. Fourth year externships placed Dr. Fox in a Boston teaching practice, on a Navy base, in a Veterans Affairs hospital and in a rural community health center, and the range of those settings is where an interest in managing eye disease took hold.

Dr. Fox's practice centers on the cornea and anterior segment, on treating and managing ocular disease, and on surgical patients before and after their procedures. A clinic day can move from a comprehensive examination to an urgent same day problem, and coordination with the group's specialists means surgical patients are examined beforehand and followed afterward. Conditions of the front surface of the eye are managed medically wherever that is the right answer.

Dr. Fox was a member of Beta Sigma Kappa, the international optometric honor society, during optometry school. Time outside the office goes to the outdoors, exercise, snowboarding, reading and a dog named Maple. In Dr. Fox's own words, "I want every patient to leave knowing what is going on with their eyes and what happens next, whether that is a same day problem or the weeks after surgery. Getting the front of the eye right is detailed work, and it is the work I enjoy most." Patients can visit Dr. Fox at Corneal Associates of New Jersey Fairfield.
