The team and practice at Ozark Eye in Pea Ridge, Arkansas

A modern eye practice built around you.

Ozark Eye is Dr. Trent Daiber's independent optometry practice in Pea Ridge — built on the idea that good eye care needs time, real conversation, and a doctor who actually remembers you.

Your optometrist

Dr. Trent Daiber, OD

Modern training, a family rooted in optometry, and a genuine love for connecting with patients.

Dr. Daiber grew up in Russellville, AR, in a family full of optometrists — his mother, his uncle, and his sister all practice too. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Arkansas in 2017 and his Doctor of Optometry from the Southern College of Optometry in 2021.

While training with his school and other eye institutes, he focused on ocular disease and surgical care — hands-on experience in advanced eye health that shapes the care he provides today. He's a member of the American Optometric Association and the Arkansas Optometric Association.

He chose optometry for the chance to connect with people, and for the neurological side of vision — an area medicine is still actively learning about, and one that keeps the work endlessly interesting.

Eye care should feel like a conversation, not an assembly line.

That's the standard Dr. Daiber holds for every visit at Ozark Eye — easy to talk to, energetic, and the time to do it right.

Why Pea Ridge

A practice rooted in community.

Dr. Daiber chose Pea Ridge on purpose.

Rural communities are more connected — people know each other, look out for each other, and value a doctor who's part of the place they live. That's the kind of practice he wanted to build: one where patients aren't a number, and where the relationship lasts well past a single prescription.

Outside the clinic, he's usually outdoors — cycling and bow hunting are his favorite ways to spend time. He's also a proud member of the Pea Ridge Lions Club, staying involved in the community he chose to serve.
