With our state-of-the-art technology and a team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists, we ensure that you receive the best possible care for your eyes.
Comprehensive Eye Care Services
Our location offers a wide range of eye care services, including:
Serving Roane County from Midtown
Our Harriman clinic sits on Roane State Highway in Midtown, the stretch between Harriman and Kingston. That location is deliberate: it puts full-service eye care within a short drive of Harriman, Kingston, Rockwood, Oliver Springs and Wartburg, in a part of East Tennessee where the alternative has often meant driving to Knoxville.
This is one of our largest offices and it operates as a complete clinic. Comprehensive exams, medical treatment for eye disease, surgical evaluation, contact lens fittings and an optical center all run out of this building, so a routine visit that turns up something serious does not become a referral to another county.
Medical and Surgical Eye Care
Roane County skews older than the state average, and the conditions we treat here reflect that. Cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease make up much of what our ophthalmologists see at this office.
All four are managed rather than cured, which means regular visits over years. Distance is the main reason patients fall out of that routine, so having surgeons and retinal care available in Midtown rather than Knoxville has a direct effect on whether people keep their appointments.
Everyday Eye Care and Eyewear
The Harriman office also handles the ordinary work: annual eye exams, contact lens fittings, and glasses and prescription sunglasses through our on-site optical center. Our optical staff will adjust or repair your frames whether or not you bought them from us.
If you are not sure how often you should be examined, or what an exam actually involves, our guide to what happens in an eye exam walks through it step by step.
Doctors at Our Harriman Office
You'll see the same familiar faces at every visit. Each of these doctors practices at our Harriman clinic.
Insurance and Payment at Our Harriman Clinic
We accept most major medical and vision plans. Coverage varies considerably from plan to plan, so call us at (800) 500-4667 before your visit and our office will verify your specific benefits.
Medical eye visits and routine vision exams are often billed differently, even when they happen on the same day. We will explain which applies to your appointment before any work is done.
Common Questions About Our Harriman Office
Is this the eye center in Midtown?
Yes. Our Harriman clinic is at 1798 Roane State Hwy, in the Midtown area between Harriman and Kingston. Patients know it by both names, so if you have been told to go to the eye center in Midtown, this is the right place.
How far is the Harriman office from Kingston and Rockwood?
Kingston is about a ten-minute drive and Rockwood roughly the same in the other direction, both along Roane State Highway. We also see patients regularly from Oliver Springs, Wartburg and Oak Ridge.
Do you have an optical center at this location?
Yes. The Harriman clinic has a full optical center carrying Maui Jim, Costa and a wide range of everyday frames, along with lens options including progressives, photochromics and polarized sunglasses. Adjustments and minor repairs are done while you wait.
Can I book my appointment online?
Yes. Use the Book Online button on this page to see live availability for the Harriman clinic and choose a time. You can also call us at (800) 500-4667 if you would rather speak to someone or need an urgent appointment.
Do you see children at the Harriman office?
Yes. We examine children of all ages, including infants and toddlers when there is a concern. A school vision screening only checks distance acuity, so a child can pass one and still have a focusing, alignment or near-vision problem that affects reading.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most major medical and vision plans. Coverage varies considerably from plan to plan — particularly between medical insurance, which covers treatment of eye conditions, and vision plans, which cover routine exams and eyewear. Call the office at (800) 500-4667 before your visit and we will verify your specific benefits.
What happens if I need cataract surgery?
Your evaluation, measurements and post-operative visits all happen here in Harriman with the same ophthalmologist. Only the procedure itself takes place at a surgical facility. Most patients are back for their first follow-up the day after surgery.
Can I be seen the same day for an eye injury?
Call us at (800) 500-4667 as early as you can. We hold time for urgent problems such as eye injuries, sudden floaters or flashes of light, chemical splashes and abrupt vision loss. Sudden vision changes should always be treated as urgent rather than watched.
