"Meet the Staff"

It is time to meet another Eye Care Associates staff member. We would like to introduce you to Dr. Matthew McCoy. He is an Optometrist that joined the practice in January of 2025. He specializes in specialty contact lens fittings, helping those who have eye conditions that won't benefit from regular contacts. He is always happy to see other exams as well, such as glasses, regular contact lens wearers, emergencies, and more. We hope that you get the chance to meet him in person, but for now, here is a little insider information. We asked Dr. McCoy, when you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up? Here is what he had to say...

"Like most kids, when I was young, I wanted to be a professional athlete when I grew up. Baseball was always my favorite sport, and I played from the time I was 4 years old through my first two years of college. While being a pro wasn't in the cards for me, I'm thankful for the life lessons I learned throughout my childhood. I believe playing sports was a key part of what allowed me to succeed in the classroom and helped prepare me for life after school. It was baseball that brought me to UMSL where I realized I wanted to be an optometrist. I decided that engineering would be in my future due to its combination of math and science, an interest I have had since elementary school. Eventually, I made the switch to study biology with the plan to become an optometrist. Just like engineering, it was the math and science that drew me to optometry, while also allowing me to be in the healthcare field and help patients on a daily basis."

Well, I for one am glad the major leagues didn't come calling! We are happy to have you at Eye Care Associates, Dr. McCoy!
