Our Founding Doctor

30 Years of Dedicated Service

Dr. Alan Byrd is the founding doctor of My Eyes Optometry, beginning his journey with the practice in January 1996. A 1995 graduate of Southern College of Optometry, Dr. Byrd built his career on a deep commitment to his patients, his profession, and the Fuquay-Varina community.

Dr. Byrd completed his undergraduate education at North Carolina State University, earning both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Bachelor of Visual Science degree. Over the course of his 30 years in practice, he became known for his extensive knowledge, clinical expertise, and genuine dedication to providing exceptional eye care.

In October 2026, Dr. Byrd retired from active practice, marking the beginning of a new chapter after three decades of caring for generations of patients. His vision, leadership, and years of service have played an important role in shaping My Eyes Optometry into the practice it is today.

We are deeply grateful for Dr. Byrd’s 30 years of dedication and the lasting legacy he leaves at My Eyes Optometry. His commitment to excellence and to the people he served will continue to be an important part of our practice for years to come.
