Dr. Inclima was certified as an Advanced Practice Optometrist in 1996 and became a Diplomate in Glaucoma in the same year.

Honoring Dr. Alphonse Inclima: A Legacy of Visionary Care

Dr. Alphonse Inclima, a distinguished figure in optometry, retired in 2023 after a remarkable career dedicated to eye care. His journey began with a Bachelor of Science degree from the State University of New York, followed by earning his Doctorate of Optometry from the Massachusetts College of Optometry. Dr. Inclima was a trailblazer in Connecticut, being among the first optometrists in the state granted privileges to treat and manage eye diseases with medications.

His expertise in glaucoma treatment was further recognized with a diploma from the State University of New York College of Optometry. A respected leader, Dr. Inclima served as president of the Connecticut Association of Optometrists and has made lasting contributions as chair of the board of ethics committee. Notably, he was one of the few optometrists in Connecticut trained in gentle vision shaping/corneal shaping, offering a non-surgical solution to correct nearsightedness and a proud graduate of the Gesell Institute of Child Development.

Dr. Alphonse Inclima’s foundational role in establishing Inclima Eye Care has left a mark on the practice and its community. His dedication to excellence, innovation, and patient care continues to inspire the practice's direction under Dr. Christopher Inclima.

Dr. Inclima provided some of the best medical care I’ve experienced. He listened carefully to all of my concerns, never made me feel rushed, and performed a very thorough examination. Throughout the visit, he explained exactly what he was doing and why, which gave me a great deal of confidence and reassurance. Before I left, he even handed me a handwritten note explaining my diagnosis and clear instructions for caring for it at home. That personal touch meant a lot. I highly recommend Dr. Inclima to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive eye doctor.
