Our History
I Care Vision Centers was founded by Dr. Patrick M. Fowler in 1970, emphasizing primary family eye care. Historically, Dr. Fowler had two additional locations in Idaho Springs, CO and Montebello, CO. Those locations had to close due to a fire in Idaho Springs and rapid growth of the city in Montebello. We now currently practice in our main location in Denver, CO, Mountain View suburb. We are fortunate to have the trust and loyalty of our patients from those locations continue to follow our doctors for their eye care.
Dr. Fowler is a graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, Illinois. He served two years of active duty in the U.S. Army Medical Service Corp at Womack Army Hospital, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He then served as the Director of the Colorado Optometric Center for two years. He is the Past President of the Sertoma Club, Past President of the Idaho Springs Lions Club, Former Director of the Colorado Optometric Association, active member of the American Optometric Association and Co-Founder of the Eye Health Network. In December of 2019, Dr. Fowler retired from active practice after 50 years of providing eye care. Drs Valencia Z. Lo, Elizabeth Orleans, and Valerie Valenzuela are the owners of I Care Vision Centers. They continue to dedicate and set forth passion and commitment to provide an exceptional eye care experience to our patients and generations to come. |
