Bio

Aaron Koons, OD, practices optometry with a focus on ocular disease and primary eye care. Two undergraduate degrees came first, an associate degree earned with honors at 17 and a bachelor's in biology from West Liberty University, followed by a Doctor of Optometry from Ohio State in 2022. An MBA in healthcare management came afterward.

The clinical work is comprehensive primary eye care together with the diagnosis and management of eye disease, including the follow up that chronic conditions require. Rotations during optometry school covered advanced practice, contact lens care, binocular vision, and a pediatric clinic.

Membership includes the state optometric association in Maryland and its national counterpart. Research training included an NIH fellowship in corneal biomechanics and undergraduate work in craniofacial morphology. Away from the clinic, Dr. Koons serves on a church board of trustees, has volunteered on home repair projects in central Appalachia, and spends time outdoors playing soccer, golfing, and hiking. In Dr. Koons's own words, "I grew up here, so a lot of the people in my chair are neighbors, and that raises the bar. The goal is to catch disease early and then explain what it means in language that actually lands." Patients can schedule a visit with Dr. Koons at the Hagerstown office of Ludwick Eye Center.
