Dr. Douglas Sharpe, O.D.

Dr. Douglas Sharpe, O.D.

Doctor of Optometry

Board Certified, American Board of Optometry

Dr. Sharpe’s interest in Optometry began at an early age. Influenced and inspired by his Optometrist grandfather, Dr. William Howard Sharpe, O.D. of Atwood, Kansas, Dr. Sharpe spent many inquisitive hours in his grandfather’s practice, developing a strong appreciation for the value of vision and eye care.

He obtained his Doctor of Optometry degree from Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon and his Bachelor of Science from the University of Colorado at Denver and Pacific University. He completed an internship in Denver specializing in the treatment of eye disease, specifically cornea and retina conditions.

Dr Sharpe continues to acquire and invest in the highest level of diagnostic and treatment technological advances anywhere in the eye care world. Eye examinations include the latest digital refracting platforms that can actually utilize many levels of aberrations in the eye that allow the most precise eyeglass prescription and eyewear possible.

With over 25 years experience in private practice, Dr Sharpe also served as a clinical optometrist and Clinical Director at a major Laser vision correction facility in the Denver metro area for a number of years. LASIK, PRK and other refractive surgery treatments remain one of his strong interests.

He specializes in specialty contact lens fittings including those requiring toric, bifocal, rigid, hybrid and scleral lenses for the treatment of keratoconus and other cornea conditions resulting in abnormal or irregular cornea shape. He has extensive experience in geriatric vision care and the associated age related conditions including dry eye diagnosis and treatment, glaucoma treatment, macular degeneration management and post cataract surgery care.

Dr. Sharpe is a member of the Colorado Optometric Association and American Optometric Association. He is Board Certified, American Board of Optometry, a certification achieved by fewer than 10% of Optometrists nationwide. The certification requires and demonstrates a commitment to quality patient care through high levels of continuing education, advanced skills and knowledge of new developments and technology.

Dr. Sharpe has been a resident of Colorado for over 35 years, practicing optometry in the southwest Denver metro area for over 25 years. He enjoys snowboarding, scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking, and woodworking.
