1431 E. Cumberland AvenueHaving a medical eye doctor and a primary care optometrist in the same office makes a real difference. At our Middlesboro location, your yearly exam and any bigger eye concerns can be handled by doctors who already know your history.
Patients often come to us when reading or driving has gotten harder, when dry, irritated eyes won’t let up, or when glaucoma needs regular checkups. We also have an optical shop at our Middlesboro office, so you can choose new glasses the same day.
We’ve been caring for Kentucky families since 1970, and we bring that same patient, thorough approach to every visit in Middlesboro.
We believe patients make better decisions when they understand what's happening with their eyes. Our Middlesboro doctors take time to walk you through your exam results, explain any changes they see, and answer your questions in plain language. You'll leave every visit knowing where things stand and what to watch for.
Some eye conditions never fully go away. Our Middlesboro doctors stress prevention, patient education, and careful follow-up for glaucoma and diabetes-linked eye problems. Tracking your eyes over the years lets us notice small shifts and respond before they become bigger problems.
Since 1970, our practice has treated patients throughout the Commonwealth. Today our ophthalmologists and primary care optometrists work alongside a staff of about 60, and every one of our offices shares the same commitment to compassionate, high quality care.
Find us at 1431 E. Cumberland Avenue, a convenient spot for patients across Bell County and southeastern Kentucky. Office hours are 8:30 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Thursday, plus the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month.
Glaucoma can quietly damage the optic nerve, and diabetes can affect the eyes long before vision blurs. Regular visits to our Middlesboro office help us find these changes early and keep your treatment on track.
Schedule Your Appointment TodayOur Middlesboro doctors provide the services below, covering medical eye care, routine exams, and eyewear without a long trip.
Eyes that sting, feel heavy, or keep watering may not be getting the moisture they need. Our Middlesboro doctors check how your tears form and how well they protect the eye's surface, then build a treatment plan aimed at easing your symptoms.
During routine eye exam, your eye doctor will test your vision, measure eye pressure, study the optic nerve and retina for early signs of disease, and adjust your prescription if it has changed. Yearly visits are especially valuable for anyone with diabetes or eye disease in the family.
Because glaucoma rarely causes early symptoms, regular testing is the best defense. Our Middlesboro team checks your eye pressure and optic nerve and compares results at each visit. If treatment is needed, your doctor will explain your choices and help you stay on schedule.
Our Middlesboro optical shop makes it easy to fill a new prescription before heading home. Staff can help you browse frames, choose lenses for work, driving, or reading, and adjust your glasses so they stay comfortable all day.

I am always very pleased with Kentucky Eye Institute and Dr. Curtis. I couldn't ask for a better experience. All personnel are also so friendly and helpful.
I absolutely love this place and all the employees there. Dr. Curtis is the best! My appointment was at 1:00. They took me in around 1:05. They were so efficient and professional. I was in and out in the quickest appointment I have ever had. I was extremely satisfied with my visit. I wholeheartedly recommend them!!
I feel fortunate and grateful to have had them recommended to me. Come for the graciousness, skill and professionalism - stay to get excellent lenses and to select from their great assortment of frames. You'll be glad you did.
