Background

About Brandon Runyon

I spent nearly a decade serving remote communities within the Navajo Nation at the Chinle Hospital Eye Clinic in Chinle, Arizona, where I developed extensive experience in the management of ocular disease, emergency eye care, and in-office laser and minor surgical procedures. Additionally, I served as the Chinle Hospital optometry residency program director for many years, where clinical education and professional mentorship became core components of my professional work. With prior experience in a referral-based eyecare setting, I also have focused experience in advanced medical and surgical eye care with particular emphasis on glaucoma, uveitis, cornea, retina, neuro-ophthalmology, and surgical post-operative care.Most recently, I joined Eye Associates of New Mexico in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I provide comprehensive medical eye care, perform office-based minor surgical procedures, and surgical post-operative care. Outside of clinic, I have continued my interest as an educator and professional mentor as an invited speaker at various local, state, regional, national continuing education conferences across the US and Canada. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, playing guitar, traveling, and exploring the Southwest.
