Optometrist, Howell Family EyeCare
Pryor
Opening a private eye care practice in a small town had its risks, but luckily the gamble has paid off for Howell. Whether it’s selling a pair of designer eyeglasses, performing a first eye exam on an infant, treating a patient for glaucoma, conducting a follow-up visit on an elderly patient’s cataract surgery or removing a piece of metal from one of Pryor’s industrial park employees, it’s all in a day’s work for Howell. “I consider my day a success when I know I have made someone’s life better or more fulfilling through improved vision,” he says.
