Enter the name of the optometrist for whom you are searching. The full last name must be provided, but the first name and middle name are optional. Entering a first name or initial and/or a middle name or initial will help narrow your search. For example, if you are searching for Dr. John N. Doe, you must enter "Doe" for in the box provided for the last name, but can leave the boxes for the first and middle name blank. The results may, however, include more than one Dr. Doe. By entering "John" in the box for the first name, "N" (no period following the N) in the box for the middle name, and "Doe" in the box for the last name, the likelihood is that the search will locate the Dr. John N. Doe you are seeking (unless there happens to be more than one Dr. John N. Doe). [close this tip]

If you are not trying to locate a particular optometrist, but are looking for a listing of optometrists near you, you can search by location. Enter the zipcode from where you will be starting (e.g., the zipcode of your residence or workplace). Select the distance you are willing to travel to see an optometrist via the Search Radius. The search will locate all optometrists within the search radius from your start location. [close this tip]
