 There is more to Dr. Farnham than meets the eye. Her first career was nursing - right here in Gaston County.  After pursuing four more years of training at Indiana University to become an optometric physician, she continued on to complete internships at Indianapolis  Eye Care Center, Atwater Community Eye Care Center, and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.           

 When Dr. Farnham completed her training, she wanted nothing more than to return to her North Carolina “home” and came to Summit Eye Associates in 2005.

  Dr. Sandi brings incredible talent, personality and commitment to our remarkable team.
