Dr. Grigsby offers consultation services for patients dealing with eye disease, diabetes, and refractive surgery, and frequently lectures clinicians on these topics.
A desire to help those with diabetes and eye problems changed the course of Dr. Grigsby’s career. He completed a Master of Science in Biology from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, doing research in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Tsin at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Dr. Grigsby divides his time between seeing patients and research. He has published original research in several international eye journals, presented research at international meetings, and recently has written a chapter in a book for eye doctors and researchers entitled ‘Diabetic Retinopathy’. Dr. Grigsby is the founder of Redwine Eye Research LLC, an organization dedicated to solving the puzzles of diabetic eye disease.
Dr. Grigsby served on the Board of Directors of the Texas Optometric Association (TOA) for 10 years. He has chaired or served on 18 different TOA committees. In 2002-2003, he served as President of the TOA, the first West Texan in 25 years to do so.
