Dr. Charles Hendrix received his undergraduate training from Carroll University and optometry doctorate from the Illinois College of Optometry.

While studying biology at Carroll University, he became interested in the mechanics of eye movement, the physics of light and how the brain processes visual information. He enjoys physics, math, and problem solving. He has several family members in the medical field and was inspired by their work, compassion, dedication, and service to others. He indicates that optometry is the perfect field that allows me to blend my scientific interests with my desires to solve problems. He has always had an interest in human biology and natural sciences.

A personalized approach is key to Dr. Hendrix's approach to patient care. He strives to get to know his patients on a personal level, to understand their needs, and to provide relationship-based care that exceeds their expectations.

He has special interest in pediatric and geriatric optometry, dry eye and ocular surface disease, as well as overall ocular disease management. Dr. Hendrix also cares for patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other systematic diseases, and refractive and cataract surgery.

In his time outside of the optometry practice, Dr. Hendrix enjoys camping, fishing, boating, reading, jogging, working out, spending time outdoors, and time with his family.
