Bio

Dr. Neelu Hira has had the privilege of caring for students at the Boynton Eye Clinic since 1994. Her goal is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment where every student feels seen, heard, and supported—whether they are scheduling their first eye exam or managing a long-term vision concern.

Dr. Hira provides comprehensive eye exams, contact lens services, and care for a wide range of eye and vision conditions. She takes time to explain each step of the exam and encourages questions, believing that understanding one’s eye health should feel empowering rather than overwhelming.

She earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Southern California College of Optometry and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO), reflecting her commitment to high-quality, evidence-based care. Dr. Hira values partnering with students throughout their eye-care journey and supporting their success.
