Dr. Robert Sheets, a native of North Dakota, got his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Dakota. It was during those formative years that he discovered his commitment to serving the public and gained acceptance to Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon.
Upon completing his Doctorate of Optometry, he felt drawn to West Texas to begin his career. Now considered an adopted Texan, Dr. Sheets has been practicing in Midland for over 25 years and has served as past President of the West Texas Optometric Society. In order to stay current in developments in optometry, he completed additional training in the treatment and management of ocular diseases at the University of Houston and received his Ocular Therapeutic Certificate and his Optometric Glaucoma Specialist Certificate. He is one of a few to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry.
Dr. Sheets has also been involved with laser eye surgery from its inception, taking him to Toronto, Canada, to mentor under laser pioneer Dr. Raymond Stein. Eye Lasik Midland, housed inside Vision Health Specialties, continues to be the leader in laser eye surgery for the Permian Basin. He also serves as Treasurer for his local church.
Madison, their only daughter, has been a blessing to Dr. Sheets and his wife Dolores. During their free time, you can find the Sheets at sporting events, on the golf course, or traveling.
