Overview
Dr. Ozlem Alper graduated from Indiana University and obtained her Doctorate of Optometry at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago. She practises at the Gunpark Drive office in Boulder, Colorado.
She is an experienced clinician in comprehensive eye care and in the surgical half of optometry: the preparation and the aftercare for patients having refractive or cataract surgery. That work decides much of how a surgery turns out from the patient’s side. It covers the measurements, the honest conversation about whether now is the time, the choice of implant or procedure against how a person actually uses their eyes, and the recovery visits where pressure, healing and vision are checked on schedule.
Alongside that she runs full examinations for adults and children, fits glasses and contact lenses, and follows the conditions that need watching over years: glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Boulder’s altitude and outdoor life bring their own themes into the room, including glare, UV exposure, dry eyes on the trail and contact lenses that have to cope with wind and dust.
In her spare time she runs, bikes and swims, and spends her time with her family and dogs.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Alper?
Call the Boulder-Gunpark Dr office in Boulder, Colorado on 303-530-1973 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Alper by name, say whether the visit is a routine exam, a contact lens fitting or an eye problem, and have your vision or medical plan details to hand so cover can be checked before you arrive.
What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Alper?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined. Your pupils may be dilated, which leaves vision blurry and light sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan for someone else to drive if you are unsure.
