Bryan Redick, O.D., F.A.A.O.

Optometric Physician

​​​​​​​Dr. Redick spent most of his childhood exploring the North Cascades, where he developed a lifelong love for skiing, backpacking, and mountaineering. He and his life partner, Briana, are currently enjoying learning how to backcountry navigate and backcountry ski in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

Dr. Redick graduated with Distinction from the University of Washington and with Honors from the Indiana University School of Optometry. He recently received the honor of becoming a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO), a designation awarded to less than ten percent of optometrists. Members of the Academy are recognized as meeting the highest standards of optometric practice, and must undergo rigorous testing and publication requirements to be recognized.

Dr. Redick periodically lectures on his optometric expertise at various professional conferences, covering topics from neuro-ophthalmic emergencies to binocular vision disorders in children. His most recent lecture series acts as a comprehensive guide to myopia management for the pediatrician and family physician. He provides updates on the newest research and explains why nearsightedness is now regarded by the scientific community as a disease of axial length. He elucidates how myopia greatly increases the risk of irreversible visual impairment later in life, and covers how modern medicine must be utilized to reduce myopia’s medical consequences. Nearsightedness is not merely the need for glasses, but a medical condition that must be managed.

Dr. Redick's passion has always been in pushing the forefront of optometric care. He was one of the first doctors in the nation to become certified in prescribing the only FDA approved treatment for slowing down the progression of nearsightedness, MiSight Contact Lenses. He is certified to prescribe multiple types of orthokeratology lenses, and was the first doctor in the State of Washington to be able to dispense off-label atropine eye drops used for myopia management from their clinic. Dr. Redick’s optometric research has been published in journals such as the internationally renowned journal of Vision Research. He has been honored as a Dean’s Scholar, as a recipient of Indiana University’s Faculty Fellowship, and as a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa honor fraternity.

Sehome Eye Care recently hosted the quarterly meeting of the Mt. Baker Optometric Society. At that meeting, Dr. Redick helped to educate local lawmakers about the ever expanding capabilities of optometric physicians. By doing so, The Sehome Eye Care team helped to advocate for scope expansion laws that will help keep Washington State's healthcare system up-to-date and competitive.

Dr. Redick has also always been passionate about community and public service. He volunteers in many public eye health care programs and has served in multiple international service mission trips. He was the Vice-President for the Indiana University branch of Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity and periodically works with local charity organizations such as The Seattle Clinic, UpLift NorthWest and the Lion's Club to provide free eye exams and glasses to those in need. As an active member of the American Academy of Optometry, the American Optometric Association and the Optometric Physicians of Washington, Dr. Redick is continually striving to make quality eye care available to all.
