Dr. Eric McCall

age: 40 | Optometrist | The Eye Guys

Dr. Eric McCall is a full-scope optometrist providing eye exams for glasses, contact lenses, management of glaucoma, dry eyes and diabetes. “I’ve always been fascinated by the human eye,” he explains. “It is very satisfying to provide my community with honest, trustworthy eye care and exceptional patient education.”

Watching The Eye Guys continue to grow and develop is a blessing to Eric and has been for 10 years. Becoming partners with Dr. Jeff Phillips, a friend who treats his patients like family and truly cares for the employees, is icing on the cake for Eric. He adds, “Now, one of my childhood best friends, Sean Summers, has joined the practice, and it couldn’t be any more fun.”

Marrying his childhood sweetheart, Leigh, and having four amazing daughters, Emma Jo (11), Piper (7), Vivian (4) and Georgia (2) is personally Eric’s greatest accomplishment. “God has blessed me with a wonderful marriage to my childhood sweetheart and four amazing daughters!”

Best piece of advice:

“KEEP GOD FIRST IN ALL YOU DO.” – JOHN WATKINS, ERIC’S “PAPAW”

Date nights with his wife, taking family trips, playing golf and board games with his daughters and cheering on the Dallas Cowboys are Eric’s definition of “fun.” Assisting in eye care needs of the local community is near and dear to his heart. He has helped out with Randy Sams’ Outreach Center, Church Under the Bridge, TRAHC’s Women for the Arts, Hospice of Texarkana’s Jeans and Bling, Little League sports and church activities.

Other than taking care of the community’s eye care needs, where does Dr. Eric McCall see himself in 10 years? He jokes, “I might become a stand-up comedian, join the Seniors Golf Tour, or become a model.”

Name something about you that very few people know:

“I enjoy woodworking.”
