About Dr. Alan Jones
I grew up in Sunny Miami, Florida. I have always wanted to become an eye doctor (optometrist). This was due to an eye condition I have; I was diagnosed with Diplopia (double vision). My Family Optometrist made this diagnosis. I was amazed and impressed that my condition could be fixed with prism lenses “immediately”. I went from barely passing in school to straight A’s after my eyeglasses were ready. I went to undergraduate College at Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte, North Carolina. I went to Pfeiffer University on an academic and wrestling scholarship. I graduated with honors, Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in biology/Pre-Optometry in 1977. Then, I applied to and got accepted to Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee In 1979. I graduated with honors with the Doctor of Optometry degree (OD) in 1983. I was presented with the prestigious Feinbloom Low Vision Award at Graduation. Externships include General Practice & Clinical Practice at the Memphis Health Center, a Multidisciplinary Clinic. I had a successful Private Practice combined with a Nursing Home practice in South Florida for 42 years. I was also an Adjunct Clinical Professor at Nova Southeastern College of Optometry in Davie, Florida, from 1995 to 2001. I am a Member of the AOA and the South Carolina Optometric Association. I was appointed chairman of the Florida Optometric Association Nursing Home and Hospital practice committee from 1989 through 1991. I was also the President of the Florida Optometric Association from 1991 to 1992. In December 2023, I decided to sell my private practice of Optometry in South Florida and move to Waxhaw, North Carolina, where my pregnant daughter and son-in-law reside. I decided to semi-retire and chose to work part-time at MyEyeDr. In my spare time, I like to travel, be with family, grandchildren, friends, garden, watch sports, drive sports cars, visit restaurants, go to plays, and watch movies.
