David Blackstock, OD
Dr. Blackstock’s commitment to being the best has carried through from his academic achievements to his practice today.
He graduated Valedictorian with a Doctor of Optometry degree from the highly respected Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN in 1987. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia in 1976, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa.
At the Southern College of Optometry, Dr. Blackstock was also awarded:
• Gold Key - International Optometric Honor Society, 1987
• Outstanding Senior Clinician, 1987
• Outstanding Junior Clinician, 1986

Dr. Blackstock completed his internship at the highly selective and respected Omni Eye Services facility in Atlanta, GA in 1987.
He initially practiced in a large chain, but later went into private practice so he could provide the higher quality exams, treatment, and products that meet his stringent standards.
He has owned his current practice in Martinez (Augusta), GA since 1992. On an ongoing basis, approximately 40% of his practice consists of new patients, who have been referred to him by his existing patients. Dr. Blackstock is grateful for the vote of confidence, and he continually strives to maintain the trust his patients have placed in him.
Dr. Blackstock is a member of the Georgia Optometric Association.

While each member of our staff has a primary area of responsibility and expertise, everyone has also been cross-trained in other aspects of patient care. This enables us to provide the most comprehensive level of attention and service possible. Additionally, each of our eye care professionals is fully trained to dispense contact lenses and to teach patients how to insert, wear, remove, and care for their lenses.

LAURA HOUCK, LAB MANAGER
Having our lab in-house enables us to make certain each pair of glasses meets our high standards for quality and patient satisfaction. We troubleshoot prescriptions to ensure the lenses are correct and that they match properly, assemble the eyeglasses, and work with our patients to achieve proper fit. We also handle eyeglass repairs in the office.
