Dr. Lacy Boggs grew up with two parents who were optometrists.
According to Boggs, it’s safe to say that dinnertime discussions led her to her career of choice, but once she really delved into the practice, she fell in love.
“In reality, it wasn’t until I started working in their office as a young adult that I realized the impact they had on patients’ lives, and I wanted to be a part of that,” Boggs said.
Fourteen years ago Boggs chose Lebanon to open her own practice and it soon became her home.
“I had done a decent amount of market research through various professionals in our industry,” she said. “Several suggested Lebanon because at the time, many other eye care providers were nearing retirement and none of them were female. When I opened my practice on December 1, 2010, I had two patients on my schedule, and the last 14 years have been a wonderful whirlwind.”
At Dr. Lacy Boggs Optometrist, patients can receive eye care for the entire family. They offer comprehensive eye health services, the latest in fashion eyewear and lens technology, and education on eye health and eye disease.
Most of all, patients can expect the best care.
“I love patient care,” she said. “I am fortunate that I have built a life in this community. My friends are here, my children go to school here, my doctors are here, I shop here and this is home. Every hour I get to see someone I haven’t seen since last year. I get to catch up on their kids, parents, grandkids, pets, work, vacations and life. It’s like spending time with friends you haven’t seen in a year.”
Boggs enjoys donating her time, performing eye exams and dispensing glasses to patients in Mexico. She has also specialized in diagnosing and treating several ocular diseases at the Huntington Veterans Affairs Medical Center in West Virginia.
