Meet Our Optometrist
Dr. Derek Vogelpohl
Dr. Vogelpohl received his Doctorate of Optometry as Class Salutatorian at Illinois College of Optometry, Chicago, IL. A native of central Illinois, he graduated from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry.
His externships emphasized the diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease, pediatric vision, the fitting of specialty contact lenses and low vision.
​
Dr. Vogelpohl has special interest in primary care including contact lens fittings, pediatric vision therapy, low vision services, Lasik pre-and post-procedure care, and in the treatment of eye disease. He is fully licensed to prescribe therapeutic pharmacological medication and treat ocular disease and is a member of the American Optometric Association.
I followed Dr. V here because he was very thorough with my eye exam and just a great "bedside" manner. He listens to you and takes care of any questions. The staff is awesome! So friendly and helpful! They all make you feel like family!
