While she found the experience to be quite rewarding, she realized that she wanted to work directly with patients.

Her training focused on primary eye care, contact lens fitting, and ocular disease management with externships at the Portland VA Medical center, Seymour Johnson Airforce Base, and the Casa Grande VA Medical Center. After several years of practicing out West, she decided to move back to her home state of Virginia to be closer to family.

​

Dr. Ansari has several years of experience in different modes of practice including hospital, retail, private optometry and ophthalmology, and mobile nursing home care. She established Lumen Eye Center to use her diverse experience to provide the highest level of care to the patients in her community.
