BROOMALL EYE CARE: Nearly 20 Years of Trusted Vision Care

Marple Friends & Neighbors, July 2026

For nearly two decades, Broomall Eye Care has been helping local residents see clearly while building lasting relationships within the community. Located in the Lawrence Park Business Center, the practice has become a familiar and trusted destination for comprehensive eye care since Dr. Michael Allodoli opened its doors in 2006.

In a healthcare landscape that often feels rushed and impersonal, Broomall Eye Care has earned its reputation by taking a different approach. Theirs is one centered on personalized attention, clinical excellence and genuine care for every patient who walks through the door. Families throughout Broomall and the surrounding area have come to rely on Dr. Allodoli and his team for everything from routine eye exams and vision correction to the
diagnosis and management of eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Dr. Allodoli’s path to optometry began in Overbrook, where he grew up before attending Malvern Preparatory School. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Temple University, followed by a master’s degree in Biology from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. In 1988, he received his Doctor of Optometry degree and began a career dedicated to helping patients maintain healthy vision.

After spending the early years of his career in the retail eyeglass industry, Dr. Allodoli realized he wanted something more meaningful than simply prescribing glasses. He sought the opportunity to build personal connections with patients and provide a higher level of individualized care. That vision led him to establish Broomall Eye Care, where he has proudly served the community for almost 20 years.

One of the practice’s greatest strengths is its welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere. Staff members know patients by name, and visitors are greeted by the same friendly faces at each appointment. Patients are often welcomed by Dr. Allodoli’s wife, Lisa, who serves as office manager, along with the practice’s dedicated team. Optician Stephen Lacoste has been a valued member of the office since its doors first opened, and today his son, Samuel, is also part of the team, assisting patients with insurance and administrative needs.

The practice offers a full range of eye care services, including comprehensive eye exams, treatment of eye diseases, contact lens fittings and a carefully curated selection of stylish, high-quality eyewear. “Our patients appreciate not only the medical expertise they receive but also the guidance we provide in selecting eyewear that fits both their vision needs and personal style,” said Dr. Allodoli.

Dr. Allodoli is also passionate about educating patients on the importance of regular eye examinations. “Even if you don’t need corrective vision care, eye exams are important in order to monitor your overall eye health and wellness,” he explained. Beyond assessing vision, comprehensive eye exams can help detect early signs of broader health concerns, making preventive eye care an important part of overall wellness.

July is an excellent time to purchase new glasses. With summer in full swing, people are spending more time outdoors, making clear vision and proper eye protection especially important. “Many vision insurance plans renew benefits mid-year or still have available allowances that can be used
toward new frames and lenses,” Dr. Allodoli explained. July is also a popular month for back-to-school eye exams and eyewear purchases, allowing families to get ahead of the busy fall season while taking advantage of summer promotions and sales.

As Broomall continues to grow and evolve, Broomall Eye Care remains a steadfast part of the community. Located at 580 Reed Road, Suite A5-6 in Broomall, they provide trusted care, familiar faces and a commitment to helping generations of local families maintain healthy vision for years to come.
