Our Doctors

Dr. Green, originally from Guin, Alabama, graduated magna cum laude in Natural Science and Mathematics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1989. He earned his O.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry in 1992, subsequently serving as an Optometrist in the U.S. Army until 1994. He continued in the U.S. Army Reserves until 2000. Between 1994 and 2004, Dr. Green worked in private practices and ran his own in Selma, Alabama, from 1997 to 2003. In 2004, he acquired West Alabama Eye Associates in Demopolis, Alabama, and established his second office, VisualEyes, in the Village at Northbank in 2016. 

Dr. Green is an active member of several professional associations, including the American Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control, the American Optometric Association, the Sports Vision Section of the AOA, and the Alabama Optometric Association. Last summer, Dr. Green established his third office, taking over the practice of a retiring doctor in Fayette, Alabama. Outside his practice, he dedicates time to his family, residing in Tuscaloosa and attending the Capstone Church with his wife, Meredith.
