Little Eyes on Albertville

09/01/2026

💕👶🏼 6-month-old Hazel (Dr. Boudousquie’s daughter) had her first eye exam yesterday!

The American Optometric Association recommends a baby’s first comprehensive exam and vision assessment between 6-12 months. Early eye exams help ensure healthy visual development and can detect potential problems before they affect your child’s vision.

It’s never too early to start taking care of those little eyes! 💚

Congratulations, Dr. Graves! 💗

✨Eyes On Our Team ✨
We want to congratulate Dr. Graves on 2 outstanding years at Eyes on Albertville! Dr. Graves has been practicing optometry for 15 years and offers patients thorough, personalized examinations rooted in her experience and expertise. She completed an Ocular Disease Residency in 2012, earned her fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry in 2013, and spent many years caring for veterans at the VA prior to joining our team.

We’re grateful to have Dr. Graves on our team and our patients are lucky to be cared for by her.

We asked Dr. Graves a few questions about her last year at our Eyes on locations:

👁️If your job had a theme song, what would it be? That's tough, to choose just one, but I am happiest when our clinic music is on the "yacht rock" or "Mom Jeans" station. So if we look for the Venn diagram overlap, I'm going with Kenny Loggins' "This Is It" & Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere"

👁️What’s something new you’ve learned in your role this year? The best new thing this year has been opening our Little Eyes on Albertville location. As far as something new I've learned, it would be the new technology available to us with the Stellest lens for myopia control. The rapid progression of nearsightedness ("myopia") in children is a problem we can address with tools (glasses & contact lenses) that did not exist even 10 years ago.

👁️What’s one word your coworkers would use to describe you? Delightfully unhinged

👁️What’s a fun fact most people don’t know about you? Optometry is my second career. My undergraduate degree is from Belmont University where I studied music business & interned at RCA Label Group. My part-time job in high school was pulling charts in a large optometry private practice, so my career path ultimately came full circle.

👁️What’s something you’re excited about in the year ahead? I am excited for another season of Aggie basketball & to watch my children thrive at school, at work & in basketball, flag football, football, softball & Miracle League! Personally, I'm excited for any opportunity to get outside & explore. Preferably on a kayak.

Call to make an appointment for yourself or your family to see why Dr. Graves receives reviews like this: “Excellent eye examination.
Dr. Merin Graves is very knowledgeable and professional. She is awesome. I would absolutely recommend Eyes of Albertville.”

✨ Eyes On Our Team ✨

Join us in congratulating Dr. Branch on 9 outstanding years! Dr. Branch is an optometrist and co-owner of Eyes on Albertville, Eyes on Guntersville, and Little Eyes on Albertville.

For the past nine years, Dr. Branch has poured her heart into the practice, our patients, the profession of optometry, and the people around her. She currently serves on the boards of the Alabama Optometric Association, the UABSO Alumni Association, and the Albertville Chamber of Commerce.

What we admire most about Dr. Branch, though, is the way she uses her gifts to serve others. Each year, she travels to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to provide free eye exams to residents of all ages. She also continually shows up for her employees, encouraging and supporting the people who make our practices what they are.

We asked Dr. Branch a few questions about her past year at our Eyes On locations:

👁️ If your job had a theme song, what would it be? Probably “Whatever It Takes” by Imagine Dragons because every day is different and I have to be ready for anything.
👁️What’s something new you’ve learned in your role this year? I’ve learned just how much community support matters. This year has reminded me that when you invest in your community and build genuine relationships, people really do show up for you in return.
👁️What’s one word your coworkers would use to describe you? This one is too hard! Maybe “intentional” or “passionate.”
👁️What’s a fun fact most people don’t know about you? I love listening to podcasts and have such a variety that I listen to regularly. Some are news, pop culture, investigative journalism, comedy, or religious- I cover a lot of topics!
👁️What’s something you’re excited about in the year ahead? Professionally, I am so excited to see how Little Eyes will grow and the impact that it will have for our community. I love watching our team grow as we add new members and develop our current team. Personally, I have a few trail runs I am signed up for, and I can’t wait to push myself to new distances. My children are 2 and 6 years old and they are growing and changing so fast right now. It’s always exciting to see what new things they are interested in and watching them learn new things.

Call to make an appointment with Dr. Branch to see why she gets reviews like “Dr. Branch is super!! She is bright, compassionate and addresses all your concerns. We are very pleased to have her as our doctor.”
