Dr. Harris is very caring physician and also very good! She did cataract surgery on both of my eyes and it went well. I feel very confident that she could address any vision issue I might have.

Service and employees are all good. She is a great doctor. The only complaint is how long it takes to get in for your appointment. My appointment was at 8:45 and I was there at 8:45 but didn't get into see the doctor until 10:15.

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.
