Dr. Fraser’s professional interests include primary eye care, optometric medical care, and contact lens fittings. Her diverse professional background has given her a broad prospective of optometry and serving patient needs. She is dedicated to treating each and every patient like a family member and ensures that her patients leave with a full understanding of their eyes, including overall health and vision correction.

Dr. Fraser currently resides in the greater Zionsville area, with her husband, Jonathan (a New Zealander), and their two young daughters, who keep them on their toes. She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, reading, exploring new restaurants, and yes, practicing optometry.
