About Dr. Weaver
Dr. Weaver's interest in optometry began at a young age. When he was six-years-old, one of his first grade classmates flung a pencil into the air that landed in his right eye. Fortunately, Dr. Weaver and his right eye survived the incident, but that was the first of many trips to the local optometrist, which left a lasting impression that led him down the career path of becoming an eye doctor.
