This week Aaron and Daniel sit down with Jacob Dufour who is an optometrist specializing in rehabilitation and therapy. They discuss how creativity is a part of this world as well and what types of things Jacob brings from everyday experience and reshapes to help people gain or recover a better view of the world.

Jacob Dufour - Optometrist

Centerton Family Eyecare 101 Dawn Dr.  Centerton, AR 72719 Phone: (479) 795-1411 The leading provider of quality vision care products and personalized optometric services in Centerton. Dr. Jacob Dufour   Dr. Dufour was raised in Rogers, enjoying the culture and outdoor activities offered by Northwest Arkansas. He earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry at the University of Arkansas and went on to graduate summa cum laude from the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN. His residency training in pediatric vision development and vision rehabilitation was completed in Seattle, WA through Pacific University. He is an active member of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development and the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association. Dr. Dufour’s behavioral approach focuses on visual function in the context of other sensory and motor systems. Outside of clinic Dr. Dufour spends his time at Beaver Lake and enjoying good food, art, and music. Dr. Dufour had many interest growing up, but he finally settled on optometry. “I was very uncertain of what career path I wanted to pursue. I considered working in architecture, marketing, philosophy, and graphic design. Eventually I decided on optometry for its personal interaction and community service,” said Dr. Dufour.   Interacting with kids is a pleasure for Dr. Dufour. “Some might say I’m a kid at heart. I’ve always enjoyed working with kids in my church youth group and as a summer camp counselor, so it seemed pretty natural to direct my career toward pediatrics. In the summer of 2013 I began working in a vision therapy clinic and immediately developed a passion for this population. In the case of vision development and pediatrics, I was moved by the influence vision therapy had on my young patients struggling with academics. In working with adults with acquired brain injuries, I gained an appreciation for the debilitating potential of functional vision loss and the joy of helping people return to independence and a normal daily life. In both cases I find that it is in vision therapy and rehabilitation that I am best able to impact the lives of my patients; and as such, I strive to continually improve my care so to provide the best quality of life for my patients.”   The best is yet to come…. according to Dr. Dufour. “While the field of vision therapy has achieved much in the way of clinical and academic research, there is a vast amount still unknown in the neurophysiology of many common visual disorders. I believe that the most effective treatments for strabismus, amblyopia, and post-traumatic vision syndrome are yet to come, and they are to be found through continued study and research of the neuro-visual system. My hope is to participate in the advancement of the profession through contributing to this research.”   Dr. Dufour is at our Centerton location Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
