Charlie Saccarelli, ABOM, FNAO is the owner and operator of Chadwick Optical, a unique company in Pennsylvania serving practitioners who serve patients with various vision conditions. He’s worked in every aspect of eyeglass manufacturing and dispensing since the late 1980’s. Charlie is a master optician that has lectured and led workshops internationally on homonymous hemianopsia, low vision, brain injury, and opticianry. In 2020, he was nominated for International Optician of the Year, is the Vice Chair of the Low Vision Division of the Vision Council and sits on the board of the Opticians Association of Pennsylvania. He and his company have provided material support for a number of revolutionary research grants in visual field loss and vision rehabilitation. They have created multiple grants to encourage optometrists to enter the field of low vision, and they regularly support ASCO’s special interest groups in low vision and neuro rehabilitation. While Charlie is absolutely fascinated with glasses, what really inspires him is visual perception. What does the world look like through your patient’s eye? What about their EYES? (It’s different). At least ⅔ of the data in our brain got there through our eyes, and he takes what we put in front of our eyes very seriously. When he’s not nerding out on glasses, he’s probably nerding out on some of his other interests, which include human behavior, yoga, process improvement, and outdoor survival.
