Southern College of Optometry recently announced the addition of three optometrists to its faculty: Dr. Kristin Adams, Dr. Ryan Anderson and Dr. David Hall. The three serve as clinic attending optometrists at The Eye Center at SCO, the largest vision care provider in the Mid-South region.
“Drs. Adams, Anderson and Hall bring quality experience in providing primary vision care,” said SCO President Dr. Lewis Reich. “They possess the leadership and passion to readily prepare our students and shape them into strong, confident optometrists.”

Adams makes her return to SCO, where she completed her residency in 2018. Most recently, she taught pediatrics and vision therapy at the Midwestern University Chicago College of Optometry. Adams earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from Inter American University of Puerto Rico, where she ranked eighth in her graduating class. Upon graduation, she began her residency at SCO concentrating in vision therapy, low vision rehabilitation and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. Adams earned a Bachelor of Arts in pre-optometry studies from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota.
Prior to joining SCO, Anderson served patients in a private practice in Searcy, Arkansas. He also attended Midwestern University to earn his Doctor of Optometry. Anderson then went on to complete his residency at the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System through the Southern California College of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum University.
Before moving to Memphis, Hall practiced optometry for more than 20 years and served as a partner at a multi-doctor practice in Oklahoma. He specialized in complete primary eye care with an emphasis on medical management of ocular pathology and trauma, as well as anterior segment lasers. Hall earned his Doctor of Optometry from the Oklahoma College of Optometry at Northeastern State University. He earned a bachelor’s degree in general science with an emphasis in chemistry and biochemistry from Harding University. He is currently a member of the American Optometric Association, the Tennessee Association of Optometric Physicians and the Northwest Tennessee Optometric Society.
