Vision Care Led by the Same Optometrist for Nearly 40 Years

Dr. Raymond Shackelford has cared for families across Hernando and the Mississippi Delta for nearly four decades. Many patients first visited as children and now return with their own families.

That continuity matters. Long-term relationships allow subtle changes in vision and eye health to be recognized early and addressed with consistency.

In 2025, Dr. Shackelford returned the practice to physician ownership. That decision preserved direct clinical oversight and kept decision-making close to the patients this office serves.

Medical Eye Care Backed by Experience

Dr. Shackelford provides full-scope optometry with a strong medical foundation. Patients seek care for both routine vision needs and ongoing eye health concerns.

Common areas of focus include:

  • Glaucoma screening and monitoring

  • Diabetic eye exams

  • Macular degeneration evaluation

  • Keratoconus assessment

  • Urgent eye concerns and injuries

When clinically appropriate, diagnostic tools such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) support detailed evaluation of the retina and optic nerve.

A Dry Eye Center With Structured Care

Persistent dryness, irritation, or fluctuating vision often requires more than over-the-counter drops. As a designated Dry Eye Center, the practice evaluates tear stability and gland function before recommending treatment.

Advanced options, including IPL therapy and temperature-based treatments, are selected based on clinical findings.

We Are Here When Immediate Guidance Is Needed For Eye Emergencies

Eye pain, sudden vision changes, infections, and injuries require prompt direction. Same-day appointments may be available when scheduling allows. An eye doctor remains on call after hours for urgent concerns.
