She and her highly trained optician combine the newest lens technologies with the finest eyewear made by Optical Designers, not just designer labels.

Years of training prepared Dr. Racoma to open her dream practice. Dr. Racoma studied Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University where she graduated at the top of her class in 2003. She attended the Nation's leading optometry school, the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, where she graduated as Valedictorian in 2007. She completed a residency at The Eye Institute in Philadelphia, PA in 2008.
Prior to moving to Texas Dr. Racoma was an associate in a northern Virginia optometry practice. There she especially enjoyed caring for patients in a private setting and thus her dream of practice ownership was born.
Dr. Racoma moved to San Antonio in 2012 to teach Optometry to future generations of eye doctors at the University of the Incarnate Word Rosenberg School of Optometry. As an Assistant Professor at UIW, Dr. Racoma was the Lead Instructor of Ocular Anatomy and Lead Instructor of Ophthalmic Optics. She also taught in the Advanced Optometry and Clinical Optometry Laboratories. As the faculty representative for the RSO chapter of the Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (SVOSH), Dr. Racoma participated and oversaw students in vision and health screenings throughout the city.
