Jay J. Burlingame, O.D., FABCO, DABCO
Dr J received his professional training at the University of Houston, College of Optometry. In 2010, he became a Fellow of the American Board of Clinical Optometry and in 2011 was awarded Diplomate status from the American Board of Optometry.
His uncle's work with NASA in developing new coatings for satellites and optical lenses probably were the seeds for his interest in the sciences. After moving to Kansas, the young Dr. Jay could be found spending many hours under the clear, dark sky of Middle America with his trusted telescope searching for Galileo's moons, Saturn's famed rings, and the Moon's Sea of Tranquility. But astigmatism, (a common visual condition where the eye is not perfectly round), prevented the sharpest views possible so it was off to the local Optometrist who put leaves in the trees and added blades to the grass and fueled the future Dr. J's interest in Optometry. Dr. Burlingame's special clinical interests include the early detection and prevention retinal and optic nerve disease. Dry eye treatment, contacts lenses, and nutritional education are other key interest of his professional practice. He developed the Practice slogan "Great Habits, Great Vision" to help promote how everyday actions effect long term eye health and vision. Dr. Burlingame and his wife, Dr. Cynthia Burlingame, have two adult children, David and Morgan. Both Dr. Cindi and Dr. J spend a great deal of their free time on their bicycles and are longtime supporters of 3 Feet Cycling. The cycling team’s name was derived from the law in this state, and many others, requiring that automobiles give riders a minimum of 3 feet when passing. Email Dr. Jay Burlingame |
