About Pugliese Family Eye Care
Pugliese Family Eye Care is a family-run eye care practice in Smithfield built on decades of trusted eye care.
Founded by Dr. John Pugliese and carried forward by his son, Dr. David Pugliese, our practice continues to serve local families with the same warmth and experience that have shaped it for years.
Eye Care From Our Family to Yours
At Pugliese Family Eye Care, “family” speaks to the Pugliese family behind the practice and the families who trust us with their care. That means taking time to answer questions, explain treatment options clearly, and create an experience that feels welcoming, personal, and easy to navigate from the front desk to the exam room.
Vision Care Passed from One Generation to the Next
Founded by Dr. John Pugliese, Pugliese Family Eye Care has been shaped by nearly 50 years of dedicated optometric care and more than 15 years serving the Smithfield community in its current form.
After 13 years in the practice, Dr. David Pugliese will carry that legacy into its next chapter when he assumes full ownership in July 2026, continuing the family-centered care and trusted relationships patients have come to know.
An Optometry Practice That Knows Its People
Pugliese Family Eye Care has always been built on relationships. Dr. John Pugliese has spent decades caring for patients and staying involved in the community through the Lions Club, while Dr. David Pugliese brings that same investment to his work coaching youth soccer and t-ball.
Inside the office, that shows up as care that feels personal, clear explanations that help patients understand what is going on, and a team that welcomes families of all ages with knowledgeable, bilingual support.
Built Around Patient Needs
Some of the most important things about an eye care office are also the most practical. Pugliese Family Eye Care welcomes walk-ins, offers accessible parking, and provides emergency eye care during standard office hours, with an on-site lab and advanced diagnostic tools that help patients get thorough care without the hassle of being sent elsewhere.
