Dr. Andrew Dust Joins Complete Family Eyecare
Dr. Andrew Dust has joined the staff of Complete Family Eyecare and will see patients in the Herrin location beginning July 1.
A native of Teutopolis in south central Illinois, Dr. Dust is a graduate of Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the Illinois College of Optometry. His interest in eye care began at a young age when he discovered he was nearsighted in the fifth grade.
“I still remember my first pair of glasses,” he remembered. “It was life-changing. I could see all of the leaves on the trees and individual blades of grass, which really influenced me.”
Dr. Dust also recalls how his grandmother’s life improved with special contact lenses. These experiences shape his approach to optometry.
“I take time to understand each patient's individual needs based on their life and work. I focus on the little things that often go unnoticed during an eye exam, like checking for disease,” he said. “I want every patient to feel they have received a complete exam and that all their needs—even those they might not know about—have been addressed.”
Dr. Chase Rudolph, owner of Complete Family Eyecare, said Dr. Dust is a perfect fit for the practice.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Dust to our team. His passion and expertise in the field will ensure our patients receive the best possible care. Growing up in Southern Illinois myself, I know how important it is to have a personal touch, and Dr. Dust brings that with him.”
