When Dr. Anthony Zieja says he treats patients of all ages, he really means it! In his years in eye care, his youngest patient was less than a year old, and his oldest patient was 103 years old.

Though deeply proud of his Polish immigrant roots, Dr. Anthony is always a New Englander at heart.

Dr. Kevin Webb is an accomplished optometrist with over 30 years of dedicated experience in eye care.

He pursued his passion for eye care by earning his degrees from Colby College and the New England College of Optometry.

Dr. Webb's been intrigued with eyes since his first pair of glasses at age 7. This passion ultimately led him all around the world, to New England, Atlanta, Germany, and ultimately to practice here in Kittery since 1992. Though he enjoys every area of his work, Dr. Webb primarily enjoys delivering full-scope, primary eye care to patients of all ages.

Dr. Webb is renowned not only for his comprehensive expertise in all areas of eye care but also for his personal accomplishments, notably being the proud father of two spectacular sons.

Originally from Ohio, Dr. Michelle Diaz moved to New Hampshire as a teen. When asked what initially got her interested in eye care, Dr. Diaz relates that she was fitted for contact lenses in high school and the process intrigued her. When she spoke further about it with her eye doctor, she was encouraged to pursue optometry and see where it would take her. And from there, as they say, the rest is history! She would go on to attend Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, MA and graduate from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in Philadelphia.

Dr. Diaz loves being an optometrist and has a particular interest in understanding how nutrition and lifestyle affect the eyes as well as overall health. In 2017, this led her to become certified as a Functional Medicine Practitioner.
