The practice behind the vision.
Who we are, how we work, and why families across South-Central PA and Northern Maryland have trusted us with their eyes since 2001.
A legacy of
clear vision.
For more than two decades, The May Eye Care Center & Associates has been the eye care home for families across York County, Adams County, Harrisburg, and Northern Maryland.
From a single trusted practice in Hanover, PA, we deliver the full spectrum of laser, surgical, and medical eye care — the kind of advanced technology you'd expect from a city hospital, close to home.
The May Eye Care Center & Associates opened in April 2001 and has grown into one of the region's most trusted eye care providers, now located at the Hillside Medical Center.
Our mission is direct — to provide the highest quality of eye care in a professional and friendly manner — pairing state-of-the-art instruments with experienced physicians and one of the best support teams in Pennsylvania.
