About Us

Carol McCuistion, O.D.

A native Texan, Dr. Carol McCuistion grew up in the West Texas town of Morton, graduating as Valedictorian of Morton High School. She had double majors in Home Economics Education and Interior Design at Texas Technological College, graduation with honors.

For a total of nine years Dr. McCuistion taught Home Economics and Art, first in El Paso and Dallas, then for the Department of Defense Overseas Dependent's Schools in Morocco and Germany. She finished her last two years of teaching in Houston while preparing to enter optometry school.

At the University of Houston College of Optometry she was active in student affairs and was recognized as Outstanding Second Year Student by her classmates. She graduated from optometry school in 1982 and practiced Optometry in San Antonio for six months before starting a new practice in east Fort Worth. There she became involved in the community and enjoyed 20 years of private practice. She was active in the Tarrant County Optometric Society, serving as treasurer and president.

After selling her thriving optometric practice and moving to Canton in VanZandt County, "Dr. Carol" and her family settled into life in that small East Texas community. When asked to join EyeCare Associates of East Texas by taking over the satellite office in Jacksonville, she did not hesitate for long. She has been active in her church, Rotary, and Jacksonville Band Boosters.

Dr. McCuistion's major time commitment outside her optometric practice is raising her two daughters. Her daughter Andrea is a student at The University of Texas in Austin and her younger daughter Suzi is a student at Jacksonville High School. They lead busy, active lives and Jacksonville has been good to them since moving here.
