University Eye Surgeons

University Eye Surgeons has been providing excellence in vision care to East Tennesseans for over 75 years. Our practice originated when Dr. John L. Montgomery, Sr., the first board-certified ophthalmologist in the region, established his practice in 1936. Over the years, leading ophthalmic surgeons and subspecialists from around the country have joined the practice, now known as University Eye Surgeons.Today, University Eye Surgeons is a prestigious group of ophthalmologists and optometrists, respected regionally and nationally for their contributions to eye care. Each of our five vision healthcare centers has a sincere and caring team of medical, technical and administrative professionals who stand ready to help not only those with serious eye disorders, but also those patients who request routine eye examinations, contact lens fitting, or glasses. University Eye Surgeons physicians are board-certified in opthalmology and participate in most major health insurance plans.
