Lake Oconee Eye Care Celebrates 25 Years of Exceptional Vision Care in Georgia’s Lake Country

Lake Oconee Eye Care Vision Source (LOEC) proudly marks 25 years of serving Georgia’s Lake Country with trusted, personalized eye care. Since opening its doors in 2000, LOEC has built a reputation for treating every patient like family—an approach that has earned it the title of Best Vision Center by Lake Oconee Breeze readers for more than a decade.

 As a proud member of the Vision Source network, the nation’s largest independent optometric alliance, LOEC brings leading-edge technology, top-tier products, and competitive pricing to the local community. The practice serves patients ages five and up and is the area’s largest eyewear retailer, offering a wide variety of premium designer frames and sunglasses at unmatched value.

“For 25 years, our focus has been on building relationships and delivering exceptional care,” said Dr. John Titak, optometrist and partner of Lake Oconee Eye Care. “We’re deeply grateful to our patients who have trusted us with their vision for so many years. It’s an honor to be part of their lives and this incredible community.”

LOEC has remained at the forefront of innovation, continually investing in advanced diagnostic tools and treatments to ensure the highest level of care. One standout offering is OptiLight IPL, an FDA-approved technology used to treat dry eye disease.

The practice’s retail space is also home to The Sun Center, featuring a wide variety of prescription and nonprescription frames and sunglasses from fashion to designer to fit any budget. “Many of our patients used to drive to Athens or Atlanta for high-end sunglasses,” said Dr. Susan Lee, Founding Optometrist and partner of LOEC. “Now, with The Sun Center, they can shop top brands like Oakley, Maui Jim, Costa, and Ray-Ban right here in Lake Country. It’s all about convenience, selection, and personal service.”

The practice is home to a robust team of experts, including three optometrists, a retinal specialist, and a cataract surgeon. Comprehensive services include:

• Full-Scope Eye Exams
• Pediatric Eye Care
• Emergency Eye Exams
• Eye Disease Management
• Dry Eye Treatment
• Myopia Control
• Advanced Diagnostic Testing

“We take a whole-health approach to eye care,” said Dr. Perry Lee, Optometrist and partner of LOEC. “An annual eye exam can detect much more than vision issues—it can reveal early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other systemic conditions. Our goal is to help every patient protect and preserve their sight for life.”

Beyond its clinical excellence, LOEC is deeply committed to community involvement. For 25 years, LOEC has supported numerous local causes and nonprofits, including St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital, Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Circle of Love, area schools, and so many more, underscoring its passion for giving back.

As LOEC looks ahead to the next 25 years, its mission remains clear: to provide compassionate, expert eye care for every patient, from the moment they walk through the doors to selecting the perfect pair of frames. The team continues to emphasize the importance of annual comprehensive eye exams, not just for vision correction, but also for early detection of serious health conditions.
