Dr. Oker received her undergraduate degree in biology from the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as a Dease scholar. Upon graduation, she went on to pursue her Doctorate of Optometry from the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico School of Optometry, the only bilingual program in the Nation. During her last year of school, Dr. Oker completed externships at the Eye Care Center of South Florida, Pine Cone Vision Center and Minnesota Eye Consultants.
After graduating from optometry school, Dr. Oker returned to her home state of Minnesota to be with family and find an optometry practice to call home. After practicing for several months throughout the Twin Cities, in the fall of 2015, Dr. Oker opened her optometry practice Eden Prarie Eye Care. There she runs a small team and specializes in comprehensive eye care including routine and medical optometry in both Spanish and English.
When she is not busy with her practice, Dr. Oker enjoys giving back to her community by traveling to impoverished communities overseas, helping to provide eye care to those in need. Most recently, she visited a small village in the country of Rwanda. Please see her philanthropy work, as she continues to help serve the world.
