Your Focus
Personalized, Private Practice Feel
MyEyeDr. gives you the freedom to approach patient care at the level you are comfortable with. You’ll continue to lead on the clinical side of the practice, because we know just how invested you are in the health of your patients.
You’re freed up to focus on providing the care your patients need. We focus on the rest. Our world-class operations team ensures you have what you need, right when you need it. And if you ever decide to lead beyond the exam lane or pursue specialization, we’ll support that, too.
Since joining MyEyeDr., my practice has continued to grow, and the patient experience has been enhanced. Furthermore, MyEyeDr. has prioritized professional growth for my staff and myself, and MyEyeDr. has provided and supported additional career opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable in a smaller setting.
Best-in-Class Patient Experience
Your patients benefit most when you are able to focus on their high-quality care. Our personalized vision wellness journey guides each patient through their entire MyEyeDr. experience. This starts before they schedule their exam, includes the in-office and optical visit, and finishes with post-exam engagement by our systems and teams.
We will equip your practice with innovative technology that bolsters patient outreach and acquisition. That means more new patients, increased patient recall, and a greater impact on your community.
Partnering with MyEyeDr. allowed me to continue to focus on what I love: providing personalized, quality patient care and practicing to the scope of optometry that makes the biggest impact in my community.
Your Future
Innovate the Future of Optometry
Not only do we encourage our doctors to actively lead their offices, but we also support them in their local community endeavors and in their support of the optometric profession. In fact, we work with organized optometry organizations to grow and strengthen the profession through scope expansion and patient education. We financially support American Optometric Association and local society membership, mission work, and clinical education for our doctors, because we know how important advocacy is to our doctors and our patients' healthcare quality.
Joining MyEyeDr. is more than becoming a member of a large organization. It's accessing an exclusive group of success-driven and like-minded optometrists.
The optometry world is changing in warp speed. When I started looking at how Schaeffer Eye Center was evolving as a company and its future within the eye care industry, I was considering key practice management inputs like: managed care, optical lenses, frames, IT systems, training, etc. That led me to evaluating many options for the future of my business, so that I could continue to be the best in eye care. I realized that there was one company that represented everything we practice and believe in at Schaeffer Eye Center, and that was MyEyeDr. They share our philosophy, have an amazing management team, and more personally, they offer a future security for our families and provide everything we need to be a part of something bigger.

Your Growth
Long-Term Career Opportunities
Optometry is a rewarding long-term career for those with the passion to pursue it. With that in mind, we’ve built several programs to empower you to keep growth at the forefront of your career. Our home office is filled with stories of leaders emerging from practice acquisitions.
Even our cofounder, Sue Downes, went from the front desk at an optometry office to become the CEO of MyEyeDr. As we grow, so do the opportunities for you and your staff.
I was in a stressful place as a practice owner, a new mom to unexpected twins and a brand new 2nd location. Partnering with MyEyeDr allowed a huge weight to be lifted by having a partner to handle the day-to-day operations and back office administration. I was able to spend time with my family, enjoy practicing again and ultimately it led to a new leadership role in the organization to help many other OD owners.
