Dr. Anderson upholds the importance of research at Vance Thompson Vision by participating in numerous clinical trials.
Our ResearchDr. Gabrielle Anderson is an optometry resident passionate about empowering and providing access to medical care to individuals in need.
Dr. Gabrielle Anderson's passion for accessible, compassionate eye care was inspired by her upbringing. Her great-grandmother lost her vision due to retinitis pigmentosa and had no access to care. Despite this, she was able to raise her nine children and twelve grandchildren – including Dr. Anderson. While her great-grandma pushed on, so did Dr. Anderson with a clear vision: everyone should have access to eye care.
Dr. Anderson made huge strides at the Kentucky College of Optometry, where she earned her Doctor of Optometry and master’s degree. While in school, she worked to increase access to eye care for low-income communities. She also supported the pediatric faculty with numerous optometric organizations by conducting school screenings for kindergarten to 5th grade students in rural areas throughout Central and Eastern Kentucky.
