Our Story

Family Optometry with Deep Community Roots

Founded by Dr. John Pugliese, who has practiced optometry for nearly 50 years, Pugliese Family Eye Care has served the Smithfield community for over 15 years with an educational approach to eye care.

Our family-run practice offers walk-ins, bilingual Spanish-speaking support, accessible parking, emergency eye care during office hours, and award-winning local recognition, while Dr. David Pugliese carries that legacy into the next chapter.

Eye Care for Smithfield Families

Care at Pugliese Family Eye Care

Patients across Northwest Rhode Island come to Pugliese Family Eye Care for more than routine checkups. We help children manage myopia, give dry eye patients access to in-office treatment options, and use comprehensive exams to catch problems before they become harder to manage.
