Dr. David J. Babington

Quality Eye Care Exams, Glasses & Contact Lenses

A Family Legacy of Exceptional Eye Care in Albuquerque

Some practices are built on reputation. This one's built on family! Dr. S. David Babington founded the practice decades ago and spent his career becoming one of Albuquerque's most trusted optometrists - the kind of doctor patients returned to year after year, and recommended to everyone they knew. He only recently stepped back from the practice (mostly - some habits are hard to break!), passing the torch to his son, Dr. David J. Babington, who now leads the clinic with the same commitment to quality care and personal attention that defined it from day one. When a practice spans generations of the same family, you know it's built on something real.

Babington & Apple Tree Optical have been helping Albuquerque see the world more clearly for over 50 years. Led by board-certified optometrist Dr. David J. Babington, OD, the practice combines decades of expertise with state-of-the-art technology to deliver eye care that's thorough, personal, and genuinely enjoyable (yes, eye appointments can be enjoyable).

Whether you're due for a routine eye exam, shopping for your next pair of frames, or managing a more complex eye condition, they've got you covered from your first phone call to your final prescription.
