After a very bad experience with an eye doctor in Asheville, I switched to Mountain Eye Associates and never looked back. I was taken care of by Dr. Markoff who is very knowledgeable on my condition and was up to date with all the latest treatments and options. All of the doctors and staff are top notch. Can't say enough good about them

Broke my glasses. Another optical place in Waynesville couldnt help me. Said nothing they could do. I tried Mountain Eye and although my glasses couldn't be repaired they found a frame that would fit my existing lenses. They had me fixed & back in business quickly & staff was super nice. I was impressed with their service.

I had a horrible scare one night when my dog accidently clawed my eye and tore and lacerated my cornea. I went to the ER that night and Mountain Eye had me come in 1st thing the next morning. Dr. Causby was waiting at the front desk for me as I walked in. They took me straight back and took care of me with my pain. Her assistant was so nice and comforting as she talked me through what she was doing and really calmed me down because I was freaking out. Dr. Causby gave me the best care I could ever ask for. They had me come in everyday to check the progress and instructed me on the progress and what

I have posted before. It's been over a week and still have no glasses. I've made 3 or 4 calls. No call backs and I'm tired of calling. I left my glasses there because I told them I can't see out of line bifocals and she said insurance already paid for them so they can't remake without any bifocal. So I guess those doctors need that insurance more than a senior citizen on a fixed income. Maybe they can go out to eat or keep taking from people, which knows
