Dr. Jessie Fawer
Optometrist
Dr. Jessie Fawer is a native of Covington, LA and a graduate of Saint Scholastica Academy. Dr. Fawer attended Rhodes College in Memphis, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience and earned her doctor of optometry degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry. Dr. Fawer returned to Memphis for her residency in primary eye care at the Southern College of Optometry. She has traveled to Nicaragua and Belize to provide free eye care to people of all ages.
Dr. Fawer and her husband moved to Slidell, LA in 2017, where she joined a clinic working alongside ophthalmologists. She has since found a passion for treating families and is one of few optometrists who sees children under 7 years old. Her own struggles with high nearsightedness have also contributed to her interest in myopia control, a way to slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children.
In recent years, Dr. Fawer and her husband have found themselves spending more time on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, leading to the decision to move and open an independent clinic. She shares two young children with her husband, a native of Long Beach, as well as two step-daughters. They look forward to living near the water and taking advantage of all the coast has to offer.
