About Ford Family Eye Care

      Doctors Edward and Tonya Ford established Ford Family Eye Care in 2001 and have been caring for families in the West Georgia area ever since.
      Dr. Edward Ford received his Bachelors Degree from Idaho State University in 1995 and his Doctorate from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2000. The majority of his clinical training was received from numerous Harvard Medical facilities in and around Boston. He specializes in hard to fit contact lens patients.
      Dr. Tonya Ford received her Bachelors Degree from the University of Georgia in 1993, her Masters Degree from Boston University in 1995 and her Doctorate from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2000. Like Edward, she received the majority of her training at the Harvard Medical facility in Wellesley, MA. She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease.
      Both doctors are 13 year members of the American Optometric Association and 9 year members of the Georgia Optometric Association. Away from work, perhaps the biggest challenge they face on a daily basis is the raising of their three boys ages 8, 6 and 4.



      Dr. Erika Cox joined Ford Family Eye Care in 2007. Although originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. Cox received her Bachelors Degree from Xavier University of Louisiana in 2003 and her Doctorate from the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis in 2007.

      Away from her job, Dr. Cox enjoys spending time with her bulldogs and getting to know the Atlanta area.














      Dr. Krista Stapleton also joined Ford Family Eye Care in 2007. A Georgia native, Dr. Stapleton received her Bachelors Degree from the University of Georgia in 2003 and her Doctorate from the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN in 2007. She specializes in primary care optometry.

      Outside of work, Dr. Stapleton loves reading, cooking and skeet shooting.
