In the world of eye care, you hear a lot of stories about eye doctors who found a love for optometry in college or high school, but few fell for optometry as early as Dr. Jarvis: “I first became interested in optometry when I received my first eye exam in the first grade. Until I received glasses, I was unaware of all the details in life I was missing. I grew on to develop a passion for affording this same gift of sight that had been given to me!” Dr. Jarvis left his hometown of Paducah, KY, to pursue his dreams. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Samford University in 2003 and completed his Doctor of Optometry at the University of Alabama in 2007, all in Birmingham, AL—where he met his wife, Lora. Together, they returned to Kentucky to build a family and provide patient-oriented eye care to Murray, KY, and the communities surrounding it.
