Meet the Staff

Dr. Olma started in the optometry field working as an optometric technician. This is where she determined that optometry would be a great fit for her. She appreciates being able to help many patients while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Her family consists of her husband, step-son, daughter, and a rescue dog named Rocket! She is certified to fit Coopervision’s MiSight therapeutic lenses and Paragon Orthokeratology lenses for myopia control. Dr. Olma is also a member of the Oregon Optometric Physician Association (OOPA) and the American Optometry Association (AOA). Dr Olma is registered to conduct InfantSEE screenings for children 6 to 12 months old.

 

When asked about her passion with optometry, Dr. Olma stated, “Optometry gives us the unique opportunity to make a positive impact on an individual’s life.” She appreciates the ability to treat a condition early on that may help a patient better enjoy all aspects of their life. This is especially the case for her pediatric patients that are oftentimes not aware that how they see is irregular. She prides herself on identifying those pediatric patients that may be able to pass screenings, but will still experience difficulties during their formative years. She feels that if she can decrease any potential hurdles in their lives that will allow them more opportunities and success.
 

Dr. Deanna Olma is trained and able to see patients from 6 months to 100 years and older. She loves to see the whole family and especially enjoys her pediatric patients. She has assisted many outreach programs including the Oregon Special Olympics and has even spent a week traveling through rural Africa helping as many in need as possible. 

Dr. Michael Olma was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. His undergraduate studies were conducted at the University of Arizona in Tucson and the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He escaped the desert heat to attend the Pacific College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon. He currently practices at Bridgetown Optometric Associates and is still very involved with the optometry college where he teaches and works with the students in clinic.

 

As he pushed his way through High School and College, Dr. Olma had to work to support himself. This led him into the world of optometry working in a couple retail eyeglass setting and a couple private practice optometry offices. While navigating school, his passion for optometry grew. He is very grateful for all of the support that he received during this time. He is now the one that tries to provide support for the students that are currently navigating their education. Dr. Olma also has created and supported many outreach programs and clinics since graduating optometry school.
 

Dr. Olma is affiliated with the Oregon Optometric Physician Associates (OOPA) and the American Optometric Association (AOA). He is certified to fit Coopervision’s MiSight therapeutic lenses and Paragon Orthokeratology lenses for myopia control. Dr. Olma loves to assist those patients that suffer from chronic dry eyes. Most patients suffer silently and feel a great deal of relief when they are cared for appropriately! Dr. Olma practices with a prophylactically minded approach and attempts to focus on the patient as a whole.
 

When not seeing patients or guiding future optometrist, Dr. Olma loves to attend shows at the Keller or watch the Portland Timbers with his wife and two kids. He loves everything about Oregon and is thankful to call it his home.
