Jackie O’Brien, O.D., F.A.A.O

Dr. Jackie joins Harbor Eyecare Center following her graduation from the New England College of Optometry in 2024. She provides full-scope optometric care, including comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, and the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases.

In addition to her passion for primary eye care, Dr. Jackie has a strong clinical focus in low vision rehabilitation and care for individuals with special needs. She completed a
residency in Low Vision Rehabilitation at NECO, where she gained extensive experience working with patients with visual impairment, developmental disabilities, and
complex medical conditions.

During her training, Dr. Jackie provided care at the VA Hospital in Manchester, Perkins School for the Blind, and Boston Medical Center. She also conducted research on the
impact of social determinants of health on access to low vision services.

Dr. Jackie is well-versed in advanced low vision tools, including bioptic telescopes and adaptive technologies, and tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each
patient. Whether addressing everyday visual concerns or developing individualized strategies for those with vision loss, she is committed to providing thoughtful, patient-
centered care.

“I love helping patients maximize their vision beyond glasses. I take a holistic approach to care and enjoy finding creative, effective ways to help people achieve their visual
goals and maintain their independence.”

A New Hampshire native, Dr. Jackie enjoys spending time at the beach, hiking, and skiing when she’s not in the clinic. She is currently accepting new patients for both primary care and specialty low vision services.
