Bio

Amanda Miskewicz-Zastrow, OD, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences at Rutgers University, graduating cum laude with minors in psychology and chemistry. The optometry degree came from the Arizona College of Optometry at Midwestern University, where the class rank was at the top. A residency in ocular disease followed at the specialty practice that became the professional home.

The work is consultative, carried out alongside the practice's specialists rather than apart from them. Residency training in ocular disease is what it rests on, and it weights the practice toward medical management of eye conditions rather than routine correction alone. Patients who need a procedure move to the surgical specialists without starting the story over, and patients whose condition needs watching stay on a schedule that catches change early. Teaching and research have run in parallel, which tends to keep clinical habits current.

Dr. Miskewicz-Zastrow holds membership in a state society of optometric physicians and in the Beta Sigma Kappa honor society. Continuing education lectures and research presented to a national academy sit alongside published work in a peer optometric journal. In Dr. Miskewicz-Zastrow's own words, "Patients usually arrive already worried and already told that something is wrong, so the first thing I owe them is a clear account of what we actually found. The plan is much easier to follow once someone understands what they are looking at." Patients can visit Dr. Miskewicz-Zastrow at Omni Eye Services in New Jersey.
