Eye Doctors in Athens, Backed by 75 Years of Trust

Experience That Spans Generations

The Eye Care Partner Athens Has Counted on Since 1951

We’re proud to have served generations of families across Athens and the surrounding communities since 1951. Whether you’re here for a routine eye exam, specialty dry eye care, or advanced myopia management for your child, our team is here to help.

Our clinic is where tradition meets innovation: a classic foundation, thoughtfully updated with the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies. We care deeply about our patients, and it shows in our long-standing community presence, in the quality of our care, and in the relationships we build along the way.

Dry Eye Relief That Lasts

Our dedicated dry eye clinic is led by experienced doctors using modern treatments like iLux® and BlephEx® to provide long-term relief. Most patients are seen in the office, and many discover options they didn’t know existed, including nutritional support and digital strain solutions.

We specialize in evidence-based care for childhood myopia (nearsightedness), including MiSight® lenses and low-dose atropine.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Forward-Thinking Vision Care, Built on Family Values

 While our equipment may be state-of-the-art, our approach remains the same: attentive, individualized, and built on lasting relationships.

Our eye doctors use industry-leading diagnostic tools like Zeiss OCT imaging and visual field testing to detect eye diseases early. Patients with dry eye benefit from in-office treatments like iLux® and BlephEx®, while TearLab® diagnostics allow us to tailor relief based on real-time tear film analysis. 

Whether you're managing glaucoma, exploring FL-41 lenses for migraine relief, or need a better contact lens fit, our care is always precise, comfortable, and backed by experience.

Whether you’re new to contacts or managing complex prescriptions, our team fits a full range of lenses, including dailies, torics, multifocals, and RGPs. 

We work with trusted brands like Alcon and Johnson & Johnson. Every fit prioritizes comfort, clarity, and long-term eye health.

We specialize in senior eye care, offering early detection and personalized management of conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. 

Our optometrists take the time to explain every option, so you feel confident, informed, and supported.
