Dr. Lauren Harris, M.D. is a cornea specialist. When she started college she thought she might want to be a pilot; however, her love of medicine took over. She earned a degree in biomedical engineering with highest honors before going on to medical school. Toward the end of medical school, she realized ophthalmology would be a good fit for her as she has a penchant for small things.

Dr. Harris performs corneal transplants, cataract surgery, removal of pre-cancerous and cancerous growths as well as many other surgical procedures on the eye. Cornea transplants can be full or partial thickness and different surgical skills are required for each type. Dr. Harris also performs LASIK, another procedure in which she can restore sight and dramatically improve her patient’s vision. Additionally, she sees patients from the InterFaith Clinic and Knoxville Area Project Access, as being able to make a difference in the lives of those in need is a benefit of ophthalmology that she cherishes and holds dear to her heart.
Practicing amongst the breathtaking Smoky Mountains allows Dr. Lauren Harris to explore her passions outside of patient care. Having a proclivity towards staying active, in her free time, she enjoys hiking, running, water skiing, wake surfing, snowboarding, and traveling.

Exceptional care
The best caring specialists I’ve been to.
Professional, consistent, thoughtful, thorough, everything I want in a doctor.
Dr Lauren Harris is a very good surgeon. Gifted in that way. I expect one of the best in this area though she is young. Experience speaks volumes, qnd she did a great job with my complicated eye surgery. Doctor to patient communication is where she is lacking. She explains nothing regarding reasons for herconcerns. Or why you are experiecing complicated problems. If you ask a question or explanation you are ignored. Ahe treats you like a burdensome child instead of her patuent. If you are low risk you have no problems.. if you have a complicated eye history you are high risk and she emphasis the risk over the possible dramatic benefit as if you should settle for any vision no matter how un functional ot bad as better than a very slight risk of no vision. Should that not be up to the patient?Dr Lauren Harris acts as if she is the one taking the risk if something goes wrong. So if you are considered a high risk beware. If you are low risk of going blind, she is great
