One of the things that make us the happiest is giving back to our community. We are committed to helping the less fortunate with their eye health – we view it as a responsibility as medical professionals and would have it no other way.

Buy a Pair, Give a Pair

We believe improving our community’s health is our most important job. We also believe our community is bigger than just Charlotte – better eye health for ALL those in need is our goal. With your help, we are able to make a difference every single day for someone in need. THANK YOU!

For every pair of glasses you purchase, we make a donation to Optometry Giving Sight. It’s that simple. The donation provides a pair of glasses or an eye health exam (or sometimes both!) to someone in need. This program is SO important to us and to our community, and we’re proud to be a part of it!!

InfantSEE

InfantSEE®, a public health program, managed by Optometry Cares® – the AOA Foundation, is designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an essential part of infant wellness care to improve a child’s quality of life. Under this program, participating optometrists like Dr. Mumford provide a comprehensive infant eye assessment between 6 and 12 months of age as a no-cost public service.

Eyeglass Collections
Bring us your old eyeglasses, and we will donate them to someone in need through our partnership with the local Lions Club International Chapter. Remember us as you’re cleaning out drawers and cabinets and just drop off donations any time to our office!

Dr. Michelle Mumford, O.D.

Dr. Michelle Mumford always knew she wanted to work in the medical field, but it was because she started wearing (very unfashionable) glasses at age seven and contact lenses at age eleven that her interest in Optometry grew. Her father, also a physician, stressed early on to her and her sister that whatever work they chose in life should be their passion – and that’s exactly what eye health and vision is to Dr. Mumford.

“Protecting my patient’s vision and eye health is the most important part of my job – and I take it very seriously – but it’s also very important to me for our patients leave our office happy and confident.”
She obviously recognizes the value in good vision health, but also emphasizes that style can’t be sacrificed. As a kid growing up with glasses that lacked any sort of “style” (and that’s putting it lightly), Dr. Mumford is acutely aware that the right glasses make all the difference. That’s why she’s stocked the Innovative Eye Care boutique with the best selection of designer eyeglasses and sunglasses around PLUS the biggest variety of contact lenses. She’s created a warm, friendly environment that makes patients leaving feeling better about themselves.

“To see a patient’s eyes light up after putting on new glasses or contact lenses is the reason I do what I do – it never gets old.”

Dr. Mumford is also an expert in fitting contact lenses, including specialty lenses. She has successfully fit thousands of patients with contact lenses in even the most challenging circumstances. 

Dr. Mumford graduated from Auburn University with honors and received her Doctor of Optometry from The Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee. She is a member of the American Optometric Association, the North Carolina State Optometric Society, and the Piedmont Optometric Society.

A native Tennessean, Dr. Mumford and her husband, Jeff (her high school sweetheart!), now call their home city Charlotte a “perfect melting pot of newcomers and natives.” And in case you were wondering, even eye doctors have a life outside of the office. Dr. Mumford and her husband stay super busy keeping up with their two very active children,  Amelia and Oliver. She also loves to shop, read, exercise, travel, or soak in the sun on the lake (always wearing the most fashionable sunglasses, of course!). She’s thankful EVERYDAY that glasses are once again “cool” – because they definitely weren’t when she was young.
