Dr.
Deanna
Olma
Optometric Physician
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.
