The Mountain Empire Eye Physicians Story

It’s a visual world. Make the most of it.

With a full range of medical and surgical procedures designed to address our patients' individual vision needs, we help those of all ages. Whether you need pediatric care, comprehensive eye exams, oculoplastic procedures, or treatment for cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, or diabetic retinopathy, our doctors bring RESULTS and QUALITY eye care to you from four convenient locations.

We also offer patients a state-of-the-art out-patient surgery center located on-site at our main office in Bristol, TN.

Our aim is to improve your overall quality of life, so we are pleased to offer hearing and audiology care within our Bristol, TN, facility, thanks to clinical audiologist Jennifer Henson of Mountain Empire Hearing and Audiology Services.
