Ryan Parker OD

Dr. Ryan Parker is someone who’s actually done the job before telling everyone else how to do it. He started his career in private practice, building Ardmore Premier Eyecare from the ground up — so yes, he’s lived through the joys of no-shows, broken frames, and “I only wear these for driving.”

He’s a graduate of the Oklahoma College of Optometry, a former President of the American Optometric Student Association, and since joining EssilorLuxottica in 2018, he’s become a familiar and trusted presence in our profession, especially around practice growth, lens technology, and myopia management.

Today, Ryan is the Senior Director of Professional Affairs at EssilorLuxottica, but more importantly, he still thinks like a doctor and a practice owner — which is why his talks are practical, honest, and immediately useful.
