Specializing in contact lenses and with a passion for managing ocular disease and emergencies, Dr. Cuci has developed a keen interest in areas such as glaucoma, dry eye, and pediatric eye care. Her journey through optometry school was driven by a deep-seated desire to become a doctor and focus specifically on eye care, inspired in part by her grandmother's struggle with vision loss due to diabetes. Although separated by distance, Dr. Cuci's grandmother motivated her to learn more about eyes and improve others' quality of life through better vision.

At Walmart Vision Center, she dedicated two years to mentoring and teaching optometry interns, ensuring they received comprehensive training to deliver excellent eye care.

She approaches each patient as if they were family, providing thorough and compassionate care that addresses not only their eye health but also their overall well-being. She believes in the importance of nutrition, physical activity, and managing systemic conditions like hypertension and diabetes to protect and enhance vision.
Driven by a genuine desire to help people see better and prevent vision loss from debilitating eye conditions, Dr. Cuci continues to make a meaningful impact in her patients' lives. Her warm demeanor and dedication to personalized care ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of treatment.
