Dr. Beth Frankel was born in Hackensack, New Jersey and moved to Arizona at the age of eleven. She received her bachelor’s degree in Physiology from the University of Arizona in 2006 and completed her Doctorate in Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 2010 with clinical honors.

Dr. Frankel has been in family-based private practice in Arizona for the past 12 years and has been with Eyes on Hayden since early 2021. Dr. Frankel practices with emphasis in pediatric optometry and ocular disease, including the management of ocular conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal eye disease. Being a Type 1 diabetic since early childhood, Dr. Frankel also has a passion for helping diabetic patients with the prevention and management of diabetic eye disease.
Known throughout the community for her incredible knowledge and bedside manner, Dr. Frankel is highly respected and dearly loved by her patients. She was named Top Doctor in Optometry in the state of Arizona in 2022 and it's no wonder why!

When not caring for her patients, Dr. Frankel can be found spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters. She enjoys traveling, hiking, and taking spin classes.

Dr. Chelsea Farnsworth, an Arizona native and proud Arizona State University alumnus, was warmly welcomed to Eyes on Hayden in the fall of 2022. Having majored in Biological Sciences with emphasis in genes, cell, and developmental biology, Dr. Farnsworth received her Bachelor of Science in 2013. Prior to attending the Arizona College of Optometry at Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ, Dr. Farnsworth spent several years working as an Optometric tech to gain knowledge and experience within the profession. In 2021, Dr. Farnsworth completed her Doctorate in Optometry.

During her first year in practice, Dr. Farnsworth worked alongside a general ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon, and received extensive experience in primary eye care, binocular vision disorders, specialty contact lenses, dry eye, low vision, electrodiagnostic studies, and the management of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and pre- and post-operative care for LASIK and cataract surgery. Dr. Farnsworth is excited to have joined the eye-loving team at Eyes on Hayden and is already known for her compassionate bedside manner and ability to make patients feel like family. She’s committed to providing exceptional eye care while serving the patients of her home state.

Dr. Farnsworth is an active member with the Arizona Optometric Association and the American Optometric Association and enjoys furthering her training by attending continuing education seminars throughout the United States.

When not in patient care, Dr. Farnsworth enjoys pastry decorating, hiking, and spending time with her fiancé. You’ll also find her doting on her three favorite fur babies; Daisy, Violet, and Finn.
