Olivia Novak, O.D., is an optometrist who focuses on primary vision and eye care for patients of all ages. She cares for a wide variety of eye conditions such as diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and refractive disorders like astigmatism and myopia. She also has a special interest in fitting contact lenses and managing dry eye disease.
Dr. Novak graduated from The Ohio State University where she received her Doctor of Optometry degree. She completed her undergraduate education in Biology and Chemistry at the University of North Carolina. Originally a North Carolina native, Dr. Novak is excited to be back home in the south and begin caring for her patients in the greater Richmond area. Her main priority in the exam room is always listening to your concerns with the utmost compassion. Dr. Novak looks forward to welcoming you as a new patient at VEI’s Prince George office.
When not in the clinic, Dr. Novak enjoys oil painting, watching and playing ice hockey (go Hurricanes!), and traveling to new places to explore different cultures with her beloved family and friends.
