Joshua Shows, OD
Dr. Joshua Shows has cared for Richmond-area patients since 2001. A graduate of the UAB School of Optometry, he is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Virginia Optometric Association, and the Richmond Optometric Society.
At Richmond Eye Care, appointments are built around careful listening, a thorough exam, and recommendations that fit your actual needs.
Outside the office, he enjoys time with family, acoustic guitar, and comedy bits.

Our Practice History

Richmond Eye Care was previously led by Franklin Levin, OD, FAAO. Dr. Levin retired in 2019 after a distinguished career serving Virginia patients. We’re grateful for the foundation he built.
