Meet Dr. Alexander Hentschel

Meet Dr. Alexander Hentschel.

Dr. Hentschel went to Boston University for undergrad and eventually earned his Master’s degree in Vision Science at the New England College of Optometry with research focused on myopia control. Myopia, or nearsightedness, often begins when children are young - and it progresses with age. But Dr. Hentschel specializes in slowing that progression. So if you have children, and they’re having trouble with their vision, Dr. Alexander Hentschel is the person to see!

When he’s not learning how to perfect his craft and care for our loyal patients, Dr. Hentschel enjoys traveling and playing golf and soccer.

An unfortunate sports injury actually sparked his interest and passion for becoming an eye doctor. When Dr. Hentschel was in 4th grade, he got hit directly in the eye with a tennis ball. It was a traumatic injury that required continuing care from his optometrist. His appreciation for the kind care he received and curiosity of the craft, grew with each visit. Over time, he developed a great relationship with his eye doctor. And when he was old enough, he began to shadow her at her office. Those visits not only helped ease his eye pain - they exposed Dr. Hentschel’s true calling. To him, becoming an optometrist was a no-brainer.

Dr. Hentschel sees patients at Bay Eye Center in Cedarville, so be sure to schedule an appointment with him!
