Pittsburgh Primary Eyecare

Dr. Herbert C. Bressler

Optometrist, Clinical Lead

Specialty Contact Lens Specialist

Dr. Bressler has been with the practice since 2013 and brings extensive expertise in specialty contact lens fittings, welcoming hard-to-fit patients and those with complex vision needs. He specializes in providing custom solutions for patients who require unique lens designs, including those with astigmatism, keratoconus, and other challenging conditions. 

Dr. Bressler graduated from Penn State and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. In 2008, he traveled to Haiti to provide eye care to patients in need. His externships included rotations at Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, WV, and the pediatric clinic at The Eye Institute in Philadelphia. He is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Pennsylvania Optometric Association, and the Western Pennsylvania Optometric Society. When not providing eye care, Dr. Bressler is an active Pittsburgh sports fan and fisherman. 

My greatest satisfaction in working with patients comes from guiding them through the many options available to optimize their vision and maintain their eye health. For instance, the contact lenses that may be ideal for someone in their twenties are not always the most suitable choice for someone in their sixties—and the same is true for glasses. Our focus is on understanding how each patient uses their vision in daily life, so we can recommend the lenses that will provide the best experience and outcomes.

I have been using this eyecare group for 15-20 years. I started with them when it was "Seigel & Portnoy" and had followed Dr. Portnoy here after he left a practice in Munhall. When Dr. Portnoy left here I decided to stay with Dr. Seigel because I felt they kept current with the latest advances in Ophthalmology. I also wore contact lenses for many years and Dr. Seigel was a contact lens specialist. Since Dr. Seigel has retired I transitioned to Dr. Bressler. He provides an extremely thorough exam and explains information in an understandable way. He answers any questions that I have and spends an appropriate amount of time with me. I continue to be extremely pleased with "Pittsburgh Primary Eyecare".

Easily the best optometry practice I've ever visited. Dr. Bressler and everyone I worked with during my visit were efficient, thoughtful, thorough, knowledgeable, and highly professional. All the instruments are modern and in great shape. On top of getting my vision checked, they captured stunningly high quality images of my retinal vasculature and macula to make sure all was healthy. I'll certainly be back next year when I'm due for another eye exam.
