Albert Dufur, OD
Dr. Dufur was born in Carson City from parents of Spanish Basque descent and was raised predominantly in Reno. After graduating from the University of Nevada, Reno with a B.S. in Biology, he received his Doctor of Optometry degree from the Pacific University College of Optometry in 1993. He is the past President for the Nevada Optometric Association (NOA) and was honored in 2001 with the “Optometrist of the Year” award. He is currently the Legislative Chairperson for the NOA.
Dr. Dufur has been practicing for nearly 15 years and has extensive experience with all types of contact lenses. He reads, writes, and speaks Spanish fluently. He is also very patient with children and performs one of the most thorough ocular examinations.
Dr. Dufur resides in Sparks with his wife, Tracy, and their sons, Jacob and Matthew. He is a member of the Reno Arch Lions Club and provides eye exams, locally, for the needy. In 2001, Dr. Dufur, two colleagues, and members of the Lions Club performed 500 vision screenings in two days in Obregon, Mexico.
In his spare time, Dr. Dufur enjoys water skiing, snow skiing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, racquetball, and gardening/landscaping. His most favorite activity, however, is reading books to his sons.
Beyond his expertise, what sets Dr. Dufur apart is his caring style and demeanor. His patients say that's what keeps them coming back to him.
