A Warm Welcome to Drs. Tyler Lesko and Anthony Giallombardo: The Next Chapter of Our Practice
Dear Patients,
It is with heartfelt enthusiasm that we introduce you to the new partners in our optometry family: Dr. Tyler Lesko, OD, and Dr. Anthony Giallombardo, OD. Over the past year, many of you have had the pleasure of meeting these talented doctors, whose skill and compassion have already made a lasting impression. Now, as they officially step into partnership, we want to share their remarkable journeys and assure you that the same level of care and commitment you’ve trusted for decades remains steadfast.
For over 30 years, our practice has been a cornerstone of eye care in Monmouth County, thanks to the dedication of Dr. Leonard Steiner, Dr. Charles Abady, and Dr. Shelli Ravine. Together, we’ve built a legacy of exceptional service, leading-edge treatments, and deep community connections. When it came time to choose new partners to carry this torch, we considered only those who shared our values and vision for patient care. Dr. Lesko and Dr. Giallombardo stood out among many as the perfect choice, and we couldn’t be more confident in the future of our practice under their leadership.
Meet Dr. Tyler Lesko, OD
A New Jersey native, Dr. Lesko brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to our practice. His impressive academic achievements, including graduating Summa Cum Laude from both Georgian Court University and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, reflect his dedication to excellence. Beyond academics, his passion for helping others has taken him to Panama with Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity, where he provided eye care to underserved communities.
Dr. Lesko’s expertise spans a broad range of specialties, including myopia control, dry eye management, specialty contact lenses, and glaucoma care. Patients consistently praise his ability to explain complex conditions in a clear and empathetic way, ensuring they feel both informed and cared for. Outside the office, he enjoys traveling, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
Meet Dr. Anthony Giallombardo, OD
Dr. Giallombardo, also a proud New Jersey native, shares Dr. Lesko’s commitment to exceptional care. A Summa Cum Laude graduate of Kean University and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, he has earned recognition for his clinical excellence, particularly during his extensive training at the James A. Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, Florida. His expertise in managing complex cases, including traumatic brain injuries, has been a tremendous asset to our team.
Dr. Giallombardo specializes in a variety of areas, including specialty contact lenses, dry eye disease, and glaucoma management. Patients often remark on his warm demeanor and the genuine care he extends to each individual. When he’s not at the office, he enjoys quality time with his wife and young daughter and traveling to new destinations.

The transition to new leadership can be bittersweet, but it is a testament to the strength of our practice that we can move forward with such outstanding successors. Drs. Lesko and Giallombardo have seamlessly integrated into our team alongside our longtime staff—Maggie, Josie, Kristin, Geeta, Elaina, and Laura—who continue to provide the excellent service you’ve come to expect. Together, we are not only expanding availability but also enhancing our ability to deliver cutting-edge care to our community.
