In her words
Dr. Koch had strabismus (eye turn) surgery when she was nine, so she has been around eye care providers a lot and loved learning about what was going on with her eyes. When she was ten, she was determined to start wearing contacts to be independent of glasses. She received her bachelor’s degree from Butler University in 2019 and her doctorate from Indiana University School of Optometry in 2023. In optometry school, she felt that her own experiences growing up helped her understand the information and continue to help her explain conditions/concepts to patients even today.
Dr. Koch believes that patient education is critical in determining outcomes for care. For example, she often explains that dry eye care is similar to skincare in that establishing a routine and sticking to it is essential. Similarly, she emphasizes that the focusing system in the eye is a muscle that needs rest like other muscles to prevent eyestrain.
Her favorite activity is spending time with friends and family. Outside of work, Dr. Koch likes to get outside and go for walks with her husband, Hunter, and their golden retriever, Holly.
Patient education is critical. When people understand their eyes and their care routine, they are better equipped for successful outcomes.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences while going here. Dr. Koch is friendly, Roxie is a gem, and destiny made me feel comfortable at the pre exam.I look forward to going every time!

Dr. Koch did a fantastic and efficient job getting my examination done. Tracey worked with me to make sure my insurance went through and that I got the best deal on contacts possible! A great team and great experience. Less than 30 minutes in and out. Top notch!!
