The practice today known as MAINE OPTOMETRY, P.A., was established in the spring of 1984 by Dr. Blaine A. Littlefield. The office is housed in the old Day's Jewelry Store building at 82 Maine Street in Brunswick, Maine. After what seemed like an eternity, the Day's store was selected because of its location and availability. The building was completely reconstructed and the office designed by a California firm specifically for an optometric practice.

With time the business grew; much to the delight of Dr. Littlefield; and it soon became apparent that the practice would be more than a part-time effort. In November of 1988, Dr. Littlefield bought-out the practice of Dr. Lionel F. DuBois who was at that time entertaining the notion of retirement. Dr. Littlefield's game plan called for the finding of a partner who could help him grow the practice in the midst of Dr. DuBois's departure.

In June of 1990, on the tail end of what had become a two year search, Dr. Michelle A. Broderick (at that time Dr. Michelle Bonneau) was invited to join the practice. She accepted. The practice has flourished ever since, always growing and expanding its service base to ensure the satisfaction of its patients.

In April of 2005, the practice hired an associate, Dr. Todd M. Hamilton. Dr. Hamilton is a Maine native and the son of a Caribou optometrist, Dr. Willard Hamilton. Dr. Hamilton is currently accepting new patients. He has expanded our Low Vision Services and is a wonderful asset to the practice.

Dr. Ronald M. Cedrone started his optometry career in Portland, Maine in 1978 specializing in contact lenses. He joined Maine Optometry in January 2007. He has participated extensively in clinical contact lens research and has served as a consultant to many contact lens and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

In February of 2009, Dr. Alan J. Mathieu merged his Gorham optometric practice with Maine Optometry. This adds a third office location and allows us to better serve the Maine Optometry patients.
