About Our Eye Care Team

Our office continues to update and change

Doctor Bennett changed the name of our eye care clinic to Spectrum Eye Care to reflect the “spectrum” of changes he sees coming in eye care, healthcare, the VA, and eye disease management, as well as the partnerships doctors maintain with insurance providers, clinics, and hospitals.

  • The office began as Briargate Optical in 1989 with the emphasis on optical.
  • In 1999, Doctor Bennett added eye disease management for diabetes and hypertension, along with the treatment and management of glaucoma and surgery co-management.
  • Today, Doctor Bennett continues to add digital examination technology to his exams along with more choices in lenses, coatings, and new contact lenses.

For a wide spectrum of services, including eye exams, computer vision syndrome treatment, eye allergy relief, dry eye treatment, pediatric eye doctor services, updated prescriptions, and new glasses or contacts, turn to Spectrum Eye Care in Colorado Springs.

“We know you have a choice when it comes to your eye care. We strive to provide modern eye exams, a great selection of glasses, and personalized care every time you visit our office.”

Our Team

CeCe

My education and experience in optometry started in 2004 working with customers as a technician and optician. As the buyer of our designer eyewear, I merge the newest fashions with Varilux and Shamir digital technology used to make your prescription lenses. Ongoing relationships with the patients make coming to work a pleasure as I watch their families grow and enjoy Colorado like we do.

Aliyah

Opticians have the best job. I get to blend customer service with my eye for fashion. Everyone’s facial contours and skin tones are a little different. I am here to answer questions regarding shape, color, and comfort of designer eyewear. In the lab, I fix frames and make adjustments so that your glasses will give you years of service.

Diane

I give the kind of service and care I want my family to receive when shopping for an eye doctor and office. I perform many of the digital tests you will receive and train patients on contact lens care products that will protect their vision and give them good value. Changes in technology keep me busy, whether it is a new contact lens material or digital eye scan for detecting disease.
