Dr. Emma Huerter is an optometrist with a strong foundation in comprehensive eye care, ocular disease management, and
specialty contact lenses. Her interest in optometry started in high school when she observed an optometrist who detected signs of
systemic disease during a routine eye exam, an experience that showed her the important role eye care providers play in
protecting both vision and general health. Following this experience she went on to earn her Doctor of Optometry degree from
Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry after completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Northern
Iowa.
Originally from Iowa, Dr. Huerter relocated to Florida to pursue her optometric education and quickly fell in love with the
sunshine and beautiful beaches. After completing an externship at Tyson Eye and graduating from Nova Southeastern University,
she chose to make Florida her permanent home and is proud to serve the Southwest Florida community with their ocular health
needs.
Dr. Huerter enjoys building lasting relationships with her patients and is committed to providing a welcoming and comfortable
experience for individuals and families of all ages. Outside the office, she enjoys exploring new restaurants, playing pickleball &
tennis, boating, reading, and relaxing on the beach. Dr. Huerter is licensed to practice optometry in Florida, Iowa, and Missouri.
