About Us
Insight Eyecare is a family-owned and operated eye health services practice dedicated to putting the “care” back into eye care. We always put our patients and their vision needs first and will go above and beyond to get you and your family the eyesight you deserve.
Our Story Begins with Dr. Michelle Timko
Our founder, Dr. Michelle Timko, has practiced optometry for more than 30 years and is proud to provide exceptional eye care to patients in her hometown of Somerville. Dr. Timko holds Bachelor’s degrees from Fairfield University and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University, where she also earned her Doctorate. She founded Insight Eyecare after working at other practices because she wanted to truly focus on providing patients with eye care that meets their needs.
Dr. Timko designed Insight Eyecare to feel different because we ARE different. Our office is customized for your comfort, and our advanced technology allows Dr. Timko and the team to tailor your care to your unique and specific needs. And if you require eyewear, we have a curated selection of eyeglasses, frames, and contact lenses, so you can find your next favorite pair with ease.
The Insight Eyecare Mission
We want to help our patients see the beauty in all things, which is why every aspect of our practice focuses on you and your experience. Our advanced technology lets us thoroughly examine your eyes and their health, and manage any potential instances of conditions like age-related macular degeneration, dry eye, and presbyopia. In addition to exceptional medical eye care, you’ll also find a large, curated collection of eyewear, with a friendly team ready to help you find the right choice for you. At Insight Eyecare, we do it all — and we do it for you.
Our Constant Community Involvement
As longtime members of the Somerville neighborhood, we believe in investing in our community, as well as our practice. We support a variety of local and national efforts, such as the New Jersey Sharing Network, because we’re dedicated to making our community a better home for everyone. We’re right on the main street of town — stop in, say hi, and learn more about how we give back!
