About Dr. Gerald Bell

Dr. Gerald Bell completed his undergraduate schooling at Carnegie Mellon University where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering; he furthered his education by obtaining a Doctorate of Optometry degree from Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University. He has been practicing optometry since 1998, and has been with Eyetique since 2016. Dr. Bell made a career change at age 26 to become an optometrist because the eyes became more and more fascinating to him as he investigated the field. Dr. Bell enjoys being an optometrist because he’s meeting a variety of people each day and it keeps it fun and interesting. He will be the first to tell you, “my previous career in civil engineering was a bit boring.”
