​​Antioch Eye Associates        See the beauty in all things


Office Image
It is bitter sweet to announce that Dr. Connie Crawford is officially retiring at the end of this year. She is no longer accepting appointments on her books. Dr. Connie has great plans of traveling and soaking up as much time as she can with her new grandbaby, MJ. 
        Antioch Eye Associates will miss her smiling face in the mornings, the soft and caring demeanor she brought to the office, and all the love for not only her patients but her staff as well. We owe this entire practice to her time, commitment, and vision. However, don’t worry, she has passed her legacy on to two of her children.
Dr. Christian Crawford and Dr. Annika Crawford, alongside Dr. Laura Cretors strive to give the Antioch community the best eye care while maintaining the excellent Doctor: patient relationship Dr. Connie worked so hard to build.
          Dr. James Crawford is not quite done yet. He will continue to serve his current client base. He is no longer accepting new patients to his schedule. 
A letter from Dr. Connie:
 
After 39 years of practice I have decided to take a step back. I have happily served the community of Antioch for 36 of those years. During this time I have formed many friendships with all of my patients. I will sincerely miss the interactions I have with you all. Jim and I have welcomed our first grandchild March 19th 2025. My new role as Grandmother will be occupying a great deal of my time. Optometry has always been my passion, however this new life that we are welcoming into our family will now be our main priority. I hope you all understand the difficulty of this decision and hope you will give our Doctors the same faith I have in them to care for you as I have.
I am very proud to leave the care of my patients to three very compassionate Doctors. Dr. Laura Cretors who has been my partner for 27 years, and my children, Dr. Christian and Dr. Annika. They are all very passionate about caring for the health and vision of this community. I whole heartedly believe that you will continue to receive the best eye care in Lake County in the hands of these three brilliant doctors.
With Love,
          Dr. Connie Crawford
