We provide independent eye exams in Charlotte NC, and are not associated with a chain. So what does this mean for our patients? More time is spent to help our patients understand their eye care options for glasses and contact lenses, the best ways to care for their eyes, and the best eye care products for their vision demands.
Dr. Courtney Dryer calls Charlotte home. She graduated from Charlotte Christian School. She earned her Bachelors degree in Business from Liberty University, and her Doctorate in Optometry from Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, 2011. We treat eye diseases and routine eye care, but our speciality is in difficult-to-fit contact lenses and dry eye therapies.

Services
Autarchic Spec Shop is a boutique spectacle and glasses shop located in the South Park/Montford Park area of Charlotte, NC. We curate unique, designer eyewear that cannot be found anywhere else in the area. Our friendly optical staff is committed to finding you the perfect frame. Our desire is that you love your look, and enjoy wearing your glasses each day.
Patients with dry eye, astigmatism, and Keratoconus can now be fit successfully with scleral contact lenses. Children with increasing amounts of Myopia (near-sighted) can be treated with Orthokeratology lenses (Ortho-K). In addition to routine eye care and vision exams, we treat medical conditions such as dry eye, allergies, pink eye, floaters, headaches, Glaucoma, and cataracts.
Current treatments begin with a specific brand of over the counter eye drop, and progress to steroids and prescription eye drops such as Xiidra and Restasis. Do your eyes always water? Depending on the cause of your dry eye, oral medications may improve your meiombian gland function and help balance the tear film of the eye.
First, the treatments for Macular Degeneration depend upon the classification: dry AMD or wet AMD. Dry Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) should be monitored every 6 months so it can not develop into the wet type. Furthermore, treatments include the use of Macular Degeneration specific vitamins to slow progression and reduce the likelihood of developing wet macular degeneration.
Viral conjunctivitis is what most call "pink eye". Because of its viral origin, there is not a treatment, but instead the virus must run its course. Supportive treatment can improve the appearance of the eye, but the patient may still be contagious for 7-14 days. Bacterial conjunctivitis is most common in children, and can be treated with a ophthalmic antibiotic drop.

I just moved to town and was searching for a new eye doctor and was recommended to Dr. Dryer’s office. I am so grateful that I was because my experience was wonderful! They took so much care and time to make sure I was in the best contacts, and I truly couldn’t have had a better experience! Don’t hesitate to make your first appointment here.

Autarchic and Dr. Dryer were recommended to me by a coworker and now I see why.
The waiting room was not like any waiting room I had ever been in; it was like stepping into a professionally decorated home. I want to say shabby chic but I’m probably wrong on that.
The service from the staff was fantastic from start to finish with plenty of focus… on Covid safety precautions. The exam was fast but very thorough, and everything was explained in detail. (Note: this was my first eye exam in YEARS so a lot had changed.)
Dr. Dryer took plenty of time explaining my options. Everything made

Charlotte native Dr. Courtney Dryer has the most beautiful waiting room I've ever seen. But you won't wait long because the service is impeccable. My husband who they call 'the tennis guy' got his first-ever glasses at 4 Eyes and then sent me for new contacts. Latest products. Super knowledgeable. Important images for your eyes. Cannot recommend enough.

4 Eyes Optometry is the best! Dr. Dryer and Lana are so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They made the process of getting glasses fun and have always made sure that I am 100% happy. Dr. Dryer has the BEST selection of frames that will suit anyone's taste from classic to funky and everywhere in between. Additionally, the level of professionalism and level of customer care has impressed me from the first time I called to set up an appointment and continues now! Thanks ladies!

I've been to a handful of eye doctors and they couldn't help me with the issues I was having. It seemed like all the doctors were giving me the same cookie cutter treatment (doctors with "great reviews" too). I went to 4 Eyes and was very pleased. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and care about every detail. Highly recommend.
