Doctor of Optometry
Dr. Robert E. Brinker, OD
Dr. Brinker earned his Doctor of Optometry from the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1983 — a program known for its emphasis on the therapeutic treatment of eye disease. He holds both an optometry license and a therapeutic drug license.
He has extensive experience in eye examination and in fitting a wide range of contact lenses: soft and rigid gas permeable lenses, lenses that correct astigmatism, colored contacts, and the newest multifocal designs for presbyopia — the focusing difficulty that typically begins after age 40.
Dr. Brinker is known for his thoroughness and his patience. He takes pride in the accuracy of his prescriptions and will explain every step of an examination as he goes. He sees patients age three and older, and gives particular attention to young children, knowing how much early vision care shapes the years that follow.
