Chris Nettune is a Texas native, growing up in Athens as the third of four brothers. Prior to college he could be found volunteering as a clown at Scottish Rite Hospital, and after college he began a career in finance. In his late 20s he decided sitting at a desk was not going to be the life for him and he began his trek down the vet med path. Once in vet school he naturally gravitated towards ophthalmology - having grown up with his father, an MD Ophthalmologist, and one of his brothers also as an MD Eye Surgeon. Following a year in the Caribbean at Ross, and three years at Oklahoma State for vet school, Chris started training at the Ohio State University before spending close to 10 years at an ophthalmology clinic in the DFW area. He left in 2023 to open his own practice: Blink Veterinary Eye Specialists. Blink was formed to heavily focus on eye emergencies and surgery. Rather than running a practice with a month-long wait, Blink was created to see the pets that vets want seen, when vets want them seen. In order to keep a schedule that always allowed for same day emergencies, the team at Blink was trained to go out of their way to help referring vets with the cases they see - often helping create treatment plans to try to help referring vets as quickly as possible.

In addition to being a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist, he has further specialized in eye surgery by incorporating new procedures and treatments only offered to us for our own eyes - techniques and skills learned from invaluable time spent in the operating rooms of his MD brother and father.

When not seeing patients, Chris is most often still found at Blink where his two young daughters (4 and 6) love to play pretend animal doctor, have dance parties, or lock each other in the kennels.
