What is an Optometric Physician?   Doctors of optometry are the nation's largest eye care profession, serving patients in nearly 6,500 communities across the country. Optometric Physicians are required to attend an additional 4 years of graduate school where they train to examine, diagnose, treat and manage disorders that affect the eye or vision such as diabetes, glaucoma and macular degeneration. Dr. Williams completed his doctoral degree at the Pacific University College of Optometry where he specialized in the study of the eye and visual system, human anatomy, biochemistry and physiology. In addition to his doctoral-level training, he continually participates in educational courses to stay current on the latest standards of care and technology that will best serve his patients.
