Rebecca D. Nichols
O.D.
Dr. Becky Nichols is a Kansas native who loves helping patients see clearly and feel cared for from the moment they walk through the door. A proud Olathe, Kansas native, Dr. Nichols combines years of clinical experience with a warm, approachable personality.
She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology from University of Kansas before heading to Chicago to attend Illinois College of Optometry, where she graduated with her Doctor of Optometry degree in 2001. While at ICO, she also earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Vision Science. Her clinical training included externships at the Westside VA Hospital in Chicago and the Great Lakes Naval Station just north of the city.
Fun Fact: Dr. Nichols likes to joke that she earned both her OD degree and her “Mrs.” degree at optometry school after meeting her husband, Steve, on the very first day of classes.
Before joining Kansas City Eye Clinic in 2008, Dr. Nichols spent many years working in pediatric eye care, helping children build healthy vision habits from an early age. Today, she sees patients ages 5 and older and enjoys the variety that comes with primary care optometry. Her areas of interest include comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, diabetic eye care, dry eye management, and urgent eye care visits.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Nichols stays busy cheering on her three children. Two graduates of University of Arkansas and another who currently attends University of Oklahoma. She also enjoys working alongside her husband, Steve, at the clinic and loves getting to know her patients beyond their eye exams; especially hearing about what they are currently reading and the places they have traveled.
