Dr. Kelli Bruce is an optometrist at Opticare Vision Center’s Kentucky offices. Originally from Harrison, Ohio, she earned degrees in Sociology and Biology from the University of Cincinnati and graduated from the Indiana University School of Optometry in May 2023.
Her passion for eye care began in childhood when an eye exam revealed her severe nearsightedness. The experience of receiving her first pair of glasses inspired her to pursue a career in optometry. During her studies, Dr. Bruce was recognized for her research on the impact of OCT technology in diagnosing and treating ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Dr. Bruce has a personal connection with Opticare Vision Center, having worked as a technician in the Newport office and been a lifelong patient. Today, Dr. Bruce helps patients of all ages address various ocular conditions. Outside work, she enjoys spending time with her three dogs and cat.
