Eye Doctors in Lenoir City, TN
Serving Lenoir City and surrounding communities
Welcome to Tennessee Eye Care in Lenoir City
At Tennessee Eye Care, we are committed to delivering exceptional eye care services to the community of Lenoir City and its surrounding areas. Equipped with advanced technology and a team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists, we ensure that your eyes receive the utmost care and attention.
Comprehensive Eye Care Services
Our location offers a wide range of eye care services, including:
Eye Care for Lenoir City and Loudon County
Our Lenoir City clinic sits in Creekwood Park just off Highway 321, which puts it within a short drive of Loudon, Greenback, Philadelphia and the Tellico Village communities. It is one of our busiest offices, and it runs as a full-service clinic: comprehensive exams, medical treatment for eye disease, contact lens fittings and an optical center all under one roof.
That matters more than it sounds. A patient who comes in for a routine exam and turns out to have early glaucoma or diabetic changes in the retina does not need to be sent to another practice in another town. The ophthalmologists and optometrists who would manage that condition already work in this building.
Serving Tellico Village and the Retirement Communities
A large share of our Lenoir City patients come from Tellico Village and the surrounding retirement communities, and that shapes what this office does most. Cataract evaluation and surgery, macular degeneration monitoring, and glaucoma management make up a significant part of the schedule here.
Conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma are managed over years rather than resolved in a visit, often on a recurring treatment schedule. Having that care fifteen minutes away instead of in Knoxville is the difference between keeping up with appointments and quietly falling behind on them.
Routine Care, Glasses and Contacts
Not everything here is medical. We handle annual eye exams for adults and children, contact lens fittings, and prescription glasses through our on-site optical center. Children are welcome, and we see school-age patients throughout the year — not only in the August rush.
If you are deciding between glasses and contacts, or wondering whether your child needs an exam before their vision screening flags something, our eye care education library covers both in plain language.
Doctors at Our Lenoir City Office
You'll see the same familiar faces at every visit. Each of these doctors practices at our Lenoir City clinic.
Insurance and Payment at Our Lenoir City 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 Lenoir City Office
Where exactly is the Lenoir City office?
We are at 5491 Creekwood Park Blvd, Suite A, Lenoir City, TN 37772, in the Creekwood Park development just off Highway 321. Parking is free and directly outside the entrance, and the office is on a single level with no stairs between the door and the exam rooms.
How far is it from Tellico Village?
The drive from Tellico Village is roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on where in the village you start. Many of our Lenoir City patients come from Tellico Village, Loudon and Greenback, and we schedule with that travel time in mind.
Do you have an optical center at this location?
Yes. The Lenoir City clinic has a full optical center on site with frames, sunglasses and lens options, so you can have your exam and choose your glasses in the same visit. Our opticians also handle adjustments and minor repairs while you wait.
Can I get contact lenses fitted here?
Yes. We fit daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocals and specialty lenses including sclerals for hard-to-fit eyes. A contact lens fitting is a separate service from a standard eye exam because it requires additional corneal measurements and a follow-up to confirm the fit.
How long does a comprehensive eye exam take?
Plan on about an hour for a comprehensive exam. If your pupils are dilated, expect to be light-sensitive and to have trouble focusing up close for roughly four to six hours afterwards, so it is worth bringing sunglasses and arranging a driver if you are sensitive to it.
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 should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your insurance cards, a photo ID, a list of the medications you take, and your current glasses or contact lens boxes. If you have had eye surgery or been treated for an eye condition elsewhere, any records you can bring will help us pick up where that care left off.
Can I be seen quickly for an eye injury or sudden vision change?
Call us as soon as possible at (800) 500-4667. We keep room in the schedule for urgent problems such as eye injuries, sudden floaters or flashes, and abrupt vision loss. If we cannot see you at Lenoir City the same day, we will find the soonest opening across our East Tennessee clinics.
