Meet Our Optometrist

Dr. Fred Brecheen graduated from the Pacific University College of Optometry in 1990. After graduation, Dr. Brecheen moved back to the Dallas area after having spent the last four years in Oregon earning his Doctor of Optometry degree.

After working in the optometry field for several years, Dr. Brecheen returned to school to earn his certification in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma and ocular therapeutics. Dr. Brecheen is also earning additional eye care credentials through the College of Optometrists in Vision Development. He participates in the Optometric Extension Program Foundation and was named a Board Member of the OEPF in February 2024.  He currently serves as the President of the SouthWestern Congress of Optometry.  Dr. Brecheen currently also holds memberships in the following optometry organizations:

• American Optometric Association
• Dallas County Optometric Society
• Northeast Texas Optometric Society
• Texas Optometric Society

Regardless of the eye care services you or a family member require, you can depend on Dr. Brecheen to complete a thorough, efficient exam and provide you with the right diagnosis and treatment options.

We Take a One-on-One Approach with Every Patient

The optometry team at Brecheen Learning & Vision Center understands that no two patients experience vision problems or diseases in the same way. For example, two patients could come in on the same day both complaining of blurry vision when viewing up-close objects. Each would receive an eye exam tailored to their specific issues and a unique prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct it.

What Is Vision Therapy?

After identifying specific weaknesses in a child’s visual system, Dr. Brecheen establishes exercises and treatment goals for vision therapy. The goal of vision therapy is to strengthen areas of weakness to improve visual strength.

Children who come to us for therapy do not necessarily have poor vision. Instead, they have frequent miscommunications occurring between their brain and eyes. For instance, they may interpret certain visual stimuli as threatening and focus all their attention on it rather than paying attention in class.
