Eye Care Services in Hernando & Walls, MS

Shackelford Family Eye Care provides comprehensive eye care for children (age five and older), working adults, and seniors across Hernando and the Mississippi Delta. The practice balances routine vision care with medical eye care so that patients can address everyday needs and long-term eye health in one place.

In 2025, Dr. Raymond Shackelford returned the practice to physician ownership. That decision kept clinical leadership close to the community and reinforced a simple standard: careful evaluation, clear findings, and a plan you can follow.

Some visits start with vision clarity, others focus on eye health concerns that require monitoring over time. The practice sees both, and patients benefit from a medical-forward approach without losing the familiarity of a community office.

When a condition affects the retina or optic nerve, diagnostic tools such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) support detailed eye evaluation and ongoing comparison when clinically appropriate.

Dry Eye Care That Deserves More Than Trial-and-Error

Dry eye often causes burning, watering, irritation, and fluctuating vision throughout the day. Drops may help briefly, but lasting improvement usually starts with identifying the cause.

As a designated Dry Eye Center, the practice uses structured evaluation and advanced options such as IPL, temperature-based gland treatments, prescription therapies, and amniotic membrane support when appropriate. Dry eye care remains a core focus because symptoms affect comfort, work, sleep, and contact lens wear.
