Our Doctors
Dr. Bowman is a graduate of Radford University. She received her Doctor of Optometry from Indiana University School of Optometry in Bloomington, Indiana. Dr. Bowman enjoys treating the whole family, but especially the kiddos.
A native of Tazewell, she resides in Chesterfield with her husband, Dave, and her two teenage sons, Britton and Luke.
Dr. Bowman joined us in 2015.
Dr. Kyte earned his Bachelor's in Biology from Lynchburg College, a Doctor of Optometry from MCPHS University, and completed residency training at the Orlando VA Medical Center in Primary Care/Ocular Disease.
A native and resident of Williamsburg, Dr. Kyte spends his free time outdoors with his two corgis "Ray-Ban" and "Oakley."
Dr. Kyte joined us in 2021.
Dr. Brian studied Biology at JMU and received both a Bachelors in Physiological Optics and his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
There, he met Dr. Norma, looked into her eyes ... and anyway ... he's thrilled to work with some amazing folks! :)
His passion at work is complex disease management and myopia control for kids. When not at work, he'd love to be skiing. (2 planks are better than 1)
Dr. Norma attended Campbell University, graduating with a degree in Biology. Like Dr. Brian, Dr. Norma received her Doctor of Optometry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Together they joined Dr Joe Toler in 2004, starting TEPO.
She was born and raised south of Raleigh, North Carolina. They have called Midlothian home for 20 years. When not at work, she likes to combine her love of travel and passion for mission work.

2022 - Optikam
There's more to your glasses than the doctor's prescription - or at least there should be. We upgraded to Optikam from VisiOffice to capture 10 unique measurements to enhance every pair of glasses we make - even our $89 complete pair.

Each of our doctors is certified to fit Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses. These are orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses FDA-approved for myopia management in patients of all ages.
2024 - Eidon AF Camera
We added a 3rd Eidon camera to reduce time in office. This one is enhanced with retinal autofluorescence making it easier for us to manage problematic retinal diseases.
We're always looking to be smarter, faster, better. Check back every few months.
