Dr. Brent James

Brent is originally from Wilson, Arkansas (pop. 939) where he spent most of his childhood playing in a fiercely competitive one-on-one basketball game with his brother on their driveway court.

He completed his undergraduate studies at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro and then attended Northeastern State University College of Optometry in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. NSU provided excellent clinical experience in the diagnosis, treatment and management of eye disease but Brent chose to continue his education with a residency in Ocular Disease at Western Oklahoma Eye Center in Elk City, Oklahoma.

After several years of practice in Oklahoma, Brent moved back to Arkansas to be closer to family and friends. In August 2003, he opened James Eyecare Center with the desire to couple the utmost in eye care and the finest in eye wear – all in one stop.

Brent is a member of the Arkansas Optometric Association. He is active in his church, loves Razorback football (he anticipates it all year!), and enjoys a round of golf on a nice day.

Brent, his wife, Elizabeth, and their two children, Drew (age 2 1/2) and Maggie (age 1 1/2), live in Little Rock.

"I strive to treat each and every patient as a member of my family. The most rewarding aspect of being a optometrist is having so many opportunities to build long lasting relationships with my patients."
