Dr. Jerry Barcelow O.D. and Eye Care For You
A second generation family practice, Eye Care For You actually dates back to around 1920 when Dr. Laurence P. Folsom started a storefront optometry practice in South Royalton. Following his unexpected death in 1956, Albert Barcelow moved to Vermont and resumed the practice following his graduation from the Pennsylvania School of Optometry.
In 1981, son Jerry Barcelow joined his father in serving the eye care needs of the community and took over the business in 1983 upon Dr. Albert's retirement. Since that time Dr. Barcelow has built one of the region's leading eye care and eyewear centers drawing customers from throughout the surrounding communities. In 1990, Dr. Barcelow purchased the optical unit of Gifford Medical Center in Randolph adding full optometry services to the optical store. In 1998, he combined both practices into one spacious new building conveniently located on Route 107 in Royalton -- just off Interstate 89.
A graduate of New England College of Optometry in Boston, Dr. Barcelow is well respected in the field and a prominent member of the area's medical community. He is past vice president, president elect and president of the Vermont Optometry Association and has served as Vermont's representative on the New England Council of Optometrists.
