When asked why she enjoys working at Dr. Tavel, Dr. Cardis said “One of the things I like about working at Dr. Tavel is the wide variation in patient demographics and backgrounds I get to see. I have learned so much from my patients about eyes and about life in general.”
When asked why she become and eye doctor, she said ” I became interested in optometry because as a child I had a very high prescription and it changed very quickly, so, when I went to the eye doctor I had blurry vision with my glasses, but when I left with my new glasses I could see again, and it was amazing.”
In her spare time, Dr. Caris enjoys a variety of different puzzles, specifically jigsaw and wordle.
