McGee

The Oklahoma Association of Optometric Physicians (OAOP) has named Dr. Selina McGee of Edmond the 2023 Optometric Physician of the Year. The award is given to an optometric physician who is a leader in the profession, on the cutting edge of patient care and who serves as an advocate for vision care.

Dr. McGee is founder and owner of BeSpoke Vision, a private practice that offers patients a wide range of optometric care via its dry eye center, specialty contact lens clinic and aesthetics suite. She is a renowned national and international speaker, as well as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at NSUOCO, at which she is an alumna, and a faculty member at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation.

She currently serves as President for the Intrepid Eye Society, a Trustee on the SECO Board, and on the Board of Examiners in Oklahoma. Dr. McGee is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and a Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry.

She has dozens of publications to her credit that have appeared in Modern Optometry, Optometry Times, Review of Optometry, and Optometric Management.

As OAOP president in 2020, Dr. McGee led the association through the beginnings of COVID and helped to launch the first ever Giving Sight Day, the association’s largest charitable event.

“Dr. McGee is an Oklahoma Optometry treasure,” said OAOP Executive Director Joel Robison. “Her leadership has helped to elevate optometry across the state. She also never loses sight of what this profession is all about: helping patients by providing them with the very best possible vision care. We are proud to recognize her with the highest honor bestowed by our association.”
