Our Founders
In Memoriam: Dr. Dean Stanton Reynolds, OD, and Dr. Susan Elaine Ivey, OD
City of Vision Eye Care was founded on the principles of dedication, compassion, and community service by Dr. Dean Stanton Reynolds, OD, and his late wife, Dr. Susan Elaine Ivey, OD.
Dr. Dean Stanton Reynolds, OD, born on June 8th, 1953, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, dedicated over 30 years to his career as an optometrist, both in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. A graduate of Pacific University College of Optometry in 1978, Dean was an active member and Board Director of the New Mexico Optometric Association. He was renowned for his dedication to patient care and education, embodying the core values of our practice until his retirement in April 2018. Dean passed away on June 4th, 2024, leaving a legacy of excellence in eye care.
Dr. Susan Elaine Ivey, OD, born on November 18th, 1952, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of New Mexico in 1974 and taught Biology at Highland High School before pursuing her Doctor of Optometry degree from Pacific University College of Optometry in 1983. After returning to Albuquerque, she established her optometric practice in Rio Rancho, where she met Dean. They married in 1988 and merged their practices to create City of Vision Eye Care in 1993.
Susan was known for her remarkable kindness, patience, and understanding. As an optometrist, she took the time to thoroughly explain visual conditions to her patients, making friends easily with her friendly and calming presence. Susan passed away on January 24th, 2014, after a courageous battle with cancer, but her legacy of compassion and excellence continues to inspire us.
Both Dean and Susan were active members of Rio Rancho Presbyterian Church for over 25 years, where they sang in the choir, taught Sunday school, and served as deacons. They shared passions for skiing, basketball, ballroom dancing, and travel, always cherishing quality time with family and friends.
Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Ivey built City of Vision Eye Care on a philosophy of service, prioritizing our staff and patients alike. Their hearts and souls are the foundation of our practice, and despite changes over the years, our core value of serving each other and our community remains strong.
