Uptown EyeCare & Optical

Uptown EyeCare & Optical has served the residents of downtown Portland for many decades. Dr. Leonard Friedman started the practice in 1964, in what was formerly a Buster Brown shoe store, providing vision therapy and stressing the relationship between good visual skills and reading. Dr. William Berman purchased the practice in 1987 allowing Dr. Friedman to retire soon after. After the untimely death of Dr. Berman in January of 2000, Dr. Julie Demaree purchased the practice.
