About Our Practice

Dr. Barney joined Columbia Point Vision Clinic after receiving his optometry degree from the Southern California College of Optometry. His education provided experience in pediatric, geriatric and primary eye care. He enjoyed his time at the Garden Grove Children’s clinic providing low-income children with eye care and vision correction. Young patients remain some of his favorites to have sitting in his exam chair.

His education also allowed him to serve some of the people he admires most: America’s veterans and active military men and woman, having rotated through both the VA Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT and the Lemoore Naval Hospital in Central California. He was also trained in specialty contact lens fitting at the Moran Eye Center of the University of Utah Medical School, and the renowned Hoopes Vision center in Sandy, UT providing pre and postoperative care to Lasik and cataract patients.

Dr. Barney was raised near Coeur d’ lane, ID until he was a teenager and after several family moves finished high school in the Sun Valley, ID area. He served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Northern Mexico and has maintained fluency in the Spanish language. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University-Idaho with a BS in Biology. He enjoys snowboarding, skiing, golf and about anything else involving sports and the outdoors. Dr. Barney and his wife AubRee have a young son and daughter.

Dr. Kurtis K Hill was born and raised in Moses Lake, Washington. He attended undergraduate studies at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho prior to serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Los Angeles, California area. Upon returning from his mission, he completed his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Economics. He then attended Pacific University College of Optometry where he received his Doctor of Optometry degree in 1990.

Upon completion of his optometry degree, Dr. Hill was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Air Force and served in Active Duty until 1996 when he moved with his family to the Kennewick, Washington area to take over as Lead Optometrist for the Group Health Vision Center. Soon after moving to Kennewick, the U.S. Air Force contacted him and asked if he might continue to serve his country in the Air National Guard Clinic based at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington. He said yes, and continues to serve his country each month.

In 2008, Group Health chose to close the Vision Center in Kennewick and Dr. Hill decided to open his own practice, EyeCare Vision and Optical, to continue providing optometric care for the many patients he has treated over the years in Kennewick and surrounding areas. Former Group Health patients may see some familiar faces in the office as three of the staff at Group Health have joined him in the practice.

Dr. Hill provides primary care optometry for ALL members of the family. These services include fitting contact lenses, diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Dr. Hill is a member of the American Optometric Association, Optometric Physicians of Washington, and Military Officers Association of American.

In his spare time, Dr. Hill enjoys spending time with his family, running, and mountain and road biking.  He is very active in his church and Boy Scouts.

He has expertise in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ocular health issues, including cataracts, keratoconus, glaucoma, macula degeneration, dry eye disease and diabetic retinopathy.

In his spare time, Dr. Dunlop enjoys spending time with his family, cheering on their favorite teams, and exploring new cultures.
