Meet Dr. Kristine Pedersen (Aurora, CO)

Dr. Pedersen earned her Bachelors degrees in both Biology and Science Communication from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. She then received her Doctor of Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, where she developed a strong interest in ocular disease and low vision care. During her clinical training, she gained diverse experience in a variety of office settings such as private practice, the VA Hospital, and the William Feinbloom Vision Rehabilitation Center. These experiences sparked her commitment to comprehensive and compassionate eye care for patients with complex visual needs.

After graduating in 2024, she moved to Colorado with her wife and two rescue dogs to complete a residency in Ocular Disease at Insight Vision Group. Her residency training solidified her interests in glaucoma management, emergency eye care, post operative management, and ocular disease management.

Having grown up in New Hampshire, Dr. Pedersen has always loved the outdoors and enjoys hiking, camping, and is excited to continue exploring all that Colorado has to offer. When not outside, she can be found reading, training the dogs, or perusing nearby antique shops. She's also passionate about animal rescue and loves getting involved with local organizations.

NICOLEMAN - Aug 31, 2026
I cannot say enough wonderful things about EyeCare Specialties of Colorado! Dr. Kruglet, Ivonne, and... Mark were all absolutely incredible. From start to finish, I felt genuinely cared for, never rushed or pressured. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, and the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. The technology and equipment are state-of-the-art, but what impressed me even more was the level of personal attention and care I received. When it came time to choose glasses, there was zero pressure to spend more than I wanted to, and I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was. They made the whole experience easy and comfortable instead of overwhelming. Truly some of the best eye care and customer service I’ve ever received. I left feeling confident that I understood my vision and my options, and that they genuinely wanted what was best for me. Dr. Kruglet, Ivonne, and Mark are fantastic. Highly, highly recommend!

Dr. K Pedersen and her staff were an immense help to me. I had an eye emergency and they treated me ... with great care and graciously accommodated me when I was unannounced and in need of help. I also have eye exams and purchase glasses there. Their staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoy doing business with them, And very grateful for their help in my emergency.
