Optometrist
Eyecare Connection has been a part of Dr. Kaczmarek’s life since he was a child. His parents, Paul and Cindy, opened Eyecare Connection in 1989. During his childhood, Dr. Kaczmarek observed his parents as they ran a successful business and gained valuable insight into all things optical while working alongside them. He also worked with and shadowed Dr. David Klar, the former primary optometrist at Eyecare Connection for the last 30 years, and developed a passion for helping people. He gradually took on more business responsibilities and worked as a certified optician at Eyecare Connection for several years prior to optometry school. Dr. Kaczmarek has now returned to Eyecare Connection as an optometrist. He enjoys practicing full-scope optometry: specialty contact lens fits; treating dry eye; and managing ocular diseases such as keratoconus, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. Patients appreciate Dr. Kaczmarek’s thorough exams and patient education and thankfully put up with his sense of humor.
Dr. Kaczmarek met his wife, Dr. Kelsey Kaczmarek, in optometry school and they got married in October of 2022. They have settled in Commerce and cherish time with their newborn son, Carter, and their dog, Nora. Their favorite hobby together is a competitive round of mini golf. Dr. Kaczmarek also enjoys experimenting in the kitchen and on the grill.
