Meet the Team
Our team at Petrou Eye Care loves taking care of you!
You will enjoy being taken care of by our friendly team of optical professionals whose goal is to exceed your needs and make you happy. We want you to have the best experience possible, whether you’re here for a thorough and informative eye exam, or need help selecting fun new eyewear to invigorate your style. One of our team’s specialties is working with unique populations such as seeing children for exams and fitting them with eyewear after being referred by pediatric ophthalmologists, as well as people who have loss of vision (called low vision) sent by their medical eye doctors or retina surgeons.
To provide you with excellent vision and perfectly fit spectacles, our skilled opticians scour the globe looking for clearest lenses and the most innovative eyewear. In addition to attending the best continental showcase, New York’s International Vision Expo, our Milwaukee team meets with experts from all over the world to bring you the newest technology for eyes.

Neeta would like to share that has a common eye condition of evaporative dry eye from meibomian gland deficiency and that her dry eye treatments of red low level light therapy (RLLLT) at Petrou Eye Care have been an absolute game changer for her! She says, “I’ve noticed amazing relief from my dry eyes ever since starting these treatments. My eyes don’t feel nearly as tired anymore, and the difference has been incredible. I highly recommend PEC and Hayley to anyone looking to try red light therapy!”
