Overview
Dr. Kenneth Arndt earned his optometry degree at the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, a school known for its emphasis on current diagnostic technology. He was raised in Hampton and studied civil engineering at Old Dominion University before turning to optometry. He practises at the Denbigh office on Oriana Road in Newport News.
He credits the engineering training for the part of the job he enjoys most: measuring and mapping the eye precisely when diagnosing and treating. That is not a figure of speech in modern optometry. Corneal maps, optic nerve scans, retinal thickness measurements and visual fields are numbers that only mean something when they are taken carefully and compared against the same patient’s earlier numbers, and small differences decide whether a glaucoma plan changes.
His practice covers comprehensive examinations for adults and children, glasses and contact lenses, dry eye, infection and injury, and the ongoing management of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular change. He is committed to bringing advanced technology and treatments into day-to-day care rather than reserving them for complicated cases.
Dr. Arndt is an active supporter of Optometry Giving Sight, the charity that funds eye care and glasses in underserved parts of the world, and he enjoys spending time with his wife and three grown children.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Arndt?
Call the Denbigh office in Newport News, Virginia on 757-875-0675 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Arndt 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. Arndt?
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.
