Doctor & Staff
Our mission is to maximize our team members’ abilities and talents in striving to provide the highest quality patient care, not only as it relates to our patients’ ocular health and vision but also to our patients’ systemic conditions and concerns.


Dr. Hunter Chapman
Our Owner & Doctor
Dr. Chapman was born and raised in Monroe, LA. After graduating from LSU in 2012, he graduated from Southern College of Optometry (SCO) in Memphis, TN in 2016. While a student at SCO, he was elected the President of the largest optometric student association, the American Optometric Student Association, making Dr. Chapman the representative of over 6,600 optometry students in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.
He began working at Dillingham Optical in Monroe and West Monroe in 2016. Dillingham Optical was started by his great-grandfather in the 1950’s. It was later owned by his grandfather, Max Dillingham, and then his uncle, Ben Dillingham. Dr. Chapman bought the Dillingham Optical in West Monroe practice in 2019 and renamed it to Dillingham Chapman Family Eyecare in 2021.
He is a member of the American Optometric Association and the Optometry Association of Louisiana, where he served as Northeast Society President for two years. He is also currently a consultant for the pharmaceutical company, Allergan.
When outside of the clinic, Dr. Chapman enjoys spending time outdoors with family, friends, and his two german shorthaired pointers.
