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.
Education and Certif
Dr Harris is an expert caring doctor. Is he makes it very easy to have confidences in her skills
Dr Lauren Harris is the best. Very thorough and really cares about the eye health of her patients. I have been wearing glasses for 60 years and I have had some very good eye doctors but she is the best I’ve ever had.
She is the best!
Excellent in every regard.
Always very thorough and insures she explains everything. Have been very pleased with entire process and results of cataract removals.
We always see eye to eye!
Very thorough. Very good. Clear explanations. Great doctor.
I think the wait times are not acceptable to see the doctor after the initial prep work is done. Because of what may be a high volume of patients, I feel the doctor is rushed and has no time to actually get to know her patients or what may be helping or even causing eye problems.
Fantastic!
Dr. Harris is the Best Eye Surgeon ever.. I will tell everyone who needs an eye doctor to go to see her!!!!
