It is our intent to continue to keep up with the latest treatments and technology that can be used to provide safe, effective and quality care to our patients.
Services
Glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration are just a few of the common eye diseases which affect older patients. Even if your vision is fine, annual eye health exams can detect eye and systemic diseases in the early stages when it is easier to prevent vision loss. Help maintain quality of life with good eye care.
If you have worn glasses or contact lenses for a long time, you may have wondered if LASIK surgery is a good choice for you. While not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, it does have some great advantages. People who play sports, have allergies, or who are looking for simplicity will all benefit from LASIK.
New advances in contact lens technology allow most people to successfully wear contact lenses-even those with astigmatism or bifocal requirements. You'll quickly recognize that we go beyond the "one size fits all" approach to contact lenses and we understand the importance of personal attention when it comes to your vision and comfort.

I went to Alabama Family Eye Care for a complete eye exam….it was a great experience from the time I walked in the door! I was so impressed with the friendly staff & Dr Melissa Curl… She took the time to explain everything about my failing vision and why things happen….I did not realize the importance of seeing an eye dr on a regular basis….If you want a total top notch experience of your medical vision care, you need to go to Alabama Family Eye Care!

Practice is typically efficient and on time. Dr. Curl has always taken the necessary time to discuss, explain and address eye care issues with me. I appreciate that she doesn’t get in a hurry when meeting with me. For that reason I have no problem if she is slightly behind getting to me, b/c I know she does the same for other patients.

Dr. Curl and the staff at Alabama Family Eye Care have seen to the eye health of my entire family for years, in my case at least 15 years. They are always caring, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I have recommended them to others and will continue doing so. They are just great.

Been a patient of doc Curl for 14 years. Enough said. Regarding the 1star rating: Yo! How about YOU checking coverage out with your insurance company BEFORE you call a doctor???!!!. 2star rating: I was there last month and yes it took 2 weeks to get my glasses...that' s exactly what they told me!
See you next year doc.

Dr. Curl and her staff were extremely thorough, kind, personable and helpful throughout my entire appointment. She made contact and glasses suggestions based on my lifestyle. I felt like she and the rest of her staff was quick and efficient, but I never felt rushed. I will definitely continue to receive my eye care here!

Ok to start, but not very working family friendly. Wait time is extremely long. No weekend hours offered. Dr Curl explains throughly, but is quick. Seems always rushed.

I ended up in Dr Curl's chair with a piece of dirt in my eye. I'm so happy I did because she's a wonderful doctor who removed it quickly and painlessly. Her office staff is professional and efficient and the office clean and attractive. Everyone observed correct hygene which I appreciate.

I love the doctors at Alabama Family Eye Care. They are thorough and very understanding. They worked with me on getting a specific prescription that works for my close-up computer needs, and my everyday bifocals. The staff and doctors provide excellent attention and service to me and my children.

They have high-end frames, and perhaps they cost more than some places around town, however, they do offer affordable frame options as well as the high-end designer frames. I believe 100% that you get what you pay for when it comes to frames and lenses and expert face-to-face advice regarding eye-care
