Meet Our Doctor
Dr. Melanie Chaney
Dr. Melanie Chaney’s passion for optometry began in her hometown of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, sparked by her very first eye exam. After high school, she gained hands-on experience working in a local optometry office, where she developed skills in eyewear fitting and patient care.
She went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Biology and Physiology from the University of Akron, followed by her Doctor of Optometry degree from The Ohio State University. As part of her clinical training, Dr. Chaney completed an externship at the Cleveland VA Medical Center in Brecksville, Ohio.
With nearly two decades of experience practicing in Northeast Ohio, Dr. Chaney also dedicated over 10 years to volunteering both nationally and internationally with OneSight, a global nonprofit committed to expanding access to vision care.
In 2015, she relocated to Alabama and continues to provide exceptional eye care with the same compassion and dedication that have defined her career. At Infinity Eye Care, Dr. Chaney brings a wealth of clinical expertise, with a focus on primary eye care, vision correction, diabetic and rheumatologic eye exams, and contact lens fittings. She is especially passionate about patient education, believing that informed patients are empowered to maintain their best possible vision. Outside the clinic, Dr. Chaney enjoys wood carving, practicing Tai Chi, and photography—often alongside her husband. Her active personal life reflects her deep commitment to balance, community, and connection.
