About EyeFit Vision Center of Hagerstown

Dr. Richard Rebuck's journey to become an optometrist was a rather unconventional one.

After pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting from Bucknell University, Dr. Rebuck realized that spending his days crunching numbers was not his ideal career. He took his prerequisites for admission to optometry school at Shippensburg University, which led him to graduate from Indiana University's School of Optometry with a doctoral degree. He hasn't looked back to his accounting days since.

During his 17 years in the field, Dr. Rebuck discovered that his favorite aspect of optometry is encountering unusual cases that require him to think outside the box. “I had a patient with vitreous inflammation that was eventually diagnosed as originating from an infection on one of her heart valves,” he recalls.

According to his patients, Dr. Rebuck is best known for his attention to detail during eye exams. He makes sure to be as thorough as possible and explains each step of the process in an effort to answer any questions that the patients may have.

Dr. Rebuck has been a member of the American Optometric Association since 1998. He is also currently a member of the West Virginia Optometric Association.
