“When I arrived, I was greeted immediately by the receptionist, welcomed me in. I waited about 5 minutes before I was called back to start my exam. Everyone was so friendly. Dr. Ricker was so nice and explained each step. I left with some contacts to try out, and will be going back to get my contacts when they come in. I was also able to get a pair of glasses and my insurance was accepted. I love this place!!”

“This was hands down the best eye doctor—and honestly one of the best healthcare experiences—I’ve ever had.
They called shortly after I booked to go over prep and insurance, and even followed up again after finding an additional policy to help lower my cost. I arrived early and was seen before my appointment time, which has never happened to me before.
Everyone was incredibly kind, efficient, and thorough. The technician and doctor both took time to answer my questions about dry eyes, and everything—from contacts to billing—was explained clearly and transparently.
I will probably never go anywhere else. This team truly sets the standard for what healthcare should be. Highly recommend!”

About Dr. Katelyn Ricker
Dr. Katelyn Ricker, Therapeutic Optometrist and Glaucoma Specialist, grew up in McKinney, Texas. She attended The University of Arkansas, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. She went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude with her Doctor of Optometry degree from The Southern College of Optometry.
Dr. Ricker completed her clinical training at a pediatric private practice in Fort Smith, Arkansas as well as the Storm Eye Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Through these experiences, she gained valuable training in pediatric care, myopia management, ocular disease, specialty contact lenses, and primary care optometry.
Dr. Ricker believes that exceptional eye care goes beyond just prescribing glasses or contact lenses. She takes the time to thoroughly explain exam findings, answer any questions, and ensure each patient fully understands what’s happening with their ocular health and vision. She knows that no two patients are alike and that’s why her recommendations are tailored to fit each patient’s unique lifestyle, needs, and goals. Dr. Ricker is committed to making sure her patients feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way.
Dr. Ricker is an active member of the American Optometric Association, Texas Optometric Association, and the Beta Sigma Kappa Optometric Honor Society. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys baking sourdough bread, traveling to new countries, and spending time with her family. As a proud University of Arkansas alum, she’s a devoted Razorbacks fan – especially when basketball season rolls around!

Booked this appointment for the next day because I needed to see an eye doctor asap and this was the soonest appointment I could find with the best reviews. There was no wait time once I arrived for my appointment and all the staff was really friendly. Doctor was attentive and thorough with explaining what was going on with my eye. Would definitely recommend coming here! I will be back soon for my yearly eye exam

I was very impressed by Dr. Ricker. She was professional and very thorough. She was kind in the way she explained everything. I was trying contacts for the first time, so her patience and experience was very appreciated. Everything ran smoothly around the office as well. I will definitely be referring people to her.

Dr. Ricker was very knowledgeable and kind. She remained calm and collected the whole time and made my visit feel really easy. You can tell she knows what she’s doing, and she explains things in a way that makes sense. Definitely recommend her if you need an eye doctor.
