Maine Family Eye Care
New ownership. Same name, same corner of Southside Plaza.
Kirsten Turrisi has taken over Maine Family Eye Care and kept it exactly where it has always been, at 798 Main Street. The name has not changed, the address has not changed, and neither has the phone number, so the office you already know how to get to is the office you are still coming to.
What A Visit Looks Like
An eye exam here is not a quick glance at a chart. We check how sharply you see, how the two eyes work together, and what the back of the eye has to say about the rest of your health.
Then we explain what we found in language that survives the drive home, and whatever comes next gets laid out before you decide: glasses, contacts, treatment, or a referral to a surgeon we co-manage with.
Request an AppointmentPrecision. Care. Excellence.
Our patients are all family at our office.
Our Services in South Portland, ME
Comprehensive care
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Nearsighted, farsighted, or squinting at a monitor by three in the afternoon. A full exam sorts out the prescription and uses digital retinal imaging to check the health of the eye behind it.
Learn MoreContact Lenses
Fittings for daily, monthly and specialty lenses, including the eyes that have been told before that contacts were not an option for them.
Learn MoreFrames & Sunglasses
Designer frames and prescription sunglasses on site. Bring the prescription, try things on, and leave with something you will actually wear.
Learn MoreMedical & Emergency Eye Care
Cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye care, macular degeneration and dry eye treatment. Something in the eye, or vision that changed overnight, gets seen as an emergency.
Learn MorePediatric & Sports Vision
Children rarely mention that the board is blurry, because to them it has always looked that way. Pediatric exams catch it, and sports vision work sharpens what an athlete already has.
Learn MoreLASIK & Surgery Co-Management
The surgeon operates, we handle the rest. Evaluation beforehand and follow-up care afterwards happen here in South Portland instead of an hour down the road.
