Seven Bridges Eye Care holds a special place in Swifty’s heart. Dr. Doug Azzaro is the owner, optometrist and Michael’s best friend’s dad…some very important titles! From the beginning Dr. Doug has showcased Swifty at his store. He sells Swifty t-shirts, Swifty eyeglass cloths, and he displays our Annual Appeals for customers to peruse and contributes generously each year as well. His staff even participated in our Handstand Challenge!

If you need an eye exam or glasses, check out Seven Bridges Eye Care in Woodridge or their second location, Third Street Eyecare in Geneva. Doug and his staff are thorough, knowledgeable, they carry a wide variety of brands and styles and you can even get a beer on tap while you shop!

Doug and his wife, Nancy were second parents to Mikey and have taken on Swifty as a cause that’s very dear to them. Nancy is always ready to volunteer for any Swifty project and you may remember their son, Justin has been a Junior Board member since this all began. A great family with a big heart.
