Dr. Kelli Bruce

Dr. Kelli Bruce

Meet Dr. Kelli Bruce, a compassionate optometrist whose journey in eyecare is deeply personal. Growing up in nearby Harrison, Ohio, Dr. Bruce obtained her undergraduate degrees in Sociology and Biology from the University of Cincinnati. She joined the workforce in an unrelated field, but soon felt called back to healthcare. In 2014 she was hired as an optometric technician in the Newport, KY office. There she quickly learned the ins and outs of eye care. She took great pride in her work and continued to learn nearly all aspects of the job. As she excelled in her job at Opticare, the doctors encouraged her to pursue her passion and obtain her doctorate. She was able to take the prerequisite classes around her work schedule. Then she applied and was accepted into the Indiana University School of Optometry class of 2023.

Dr. Bruce's commitment to advancing eye care is evident in her accolades. She was honored with a scholarship for her research on how OCT technology is revolutionizing the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Her path in eyecare was shaped by a childhood experience. Struggling in elementary school, a routine eye exam revealed severe nearsightedness, and her life changed with that first pair of glasses as a patient at Opticare. Today, Dr. Bruce finds immense fulfillment in paying that forward, helping patients of all ages and with various ocular conditions.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Bruce is an avid animal lover, sharing her life with three wonderful dogs and a cat. With a personal touch and a wealth of experience, Dr. Kelli Bruce is dedicated to enhancing the vision and well-being of her patients at Opticare.

We are very proud and excited to welcome Dr. Kelli Bruce back home to see patients in our Newport and Fort Mitchell offices!
