Family Eye Care Center of Atlanta

Family Eye Care Center of Atlanta is an optometrist in Atlanta, Georgia. The practice provides comprehensive eye exams, pediatric eye exams, vision therapy, myopia management, sports vision, neuro-optometry, eye emergency care, dry eye treatment, and specialty eyewear, including kids' eyewear, designer frames, blue light lenses, and Zeiss lenses. It serves families in Buckhead and the surrounding neighborhoods of Brookhaven, Midtown, Sandy Springs, and Vinings. The practice holds a rating of 4.80 from the customers who have reviewed it.

The practice takes a comprehensive approach to eye care, using specialized eye exams for each family member to identify, diagnose, treat, and manage functional vision problems that can limit daily life. Dr. Takeia Locke leads the practice and has earned awards in vision therapy, pediatrics, contact lens care, and school screenings. She is an InfantSEE provider and focuses on treating undetected vision problems. Her interest in this work began early, after she saw healthcare inequities as a child and later discovered that she herself had functional vision problems. Since the doors opened over a decade ago, Dr. Locke and her staff have diagnosed and treated thousands of patients.

Dr. Locke recommends a first infant eye exam at 6 months, and the practice offers vision therapy for children and adults with vision disorders that affect daily function, along with testing and treatment for those conditions. Neuro-optometry addresses how the brain processes information from the eyes, while sports vision training covers eye tracking, depth perception, and hand-eye coordination. The practice also treats headaches, double vision, difficulty with reading, short attention span, and dizziness or motion sickness.

The office is on Habersham Rd NE, just off Piedmont Road Northeast and about a tenth of a mile from Roswell Road. Sarah Smith Elementary School is about half a mile away, and both Lenox Road Northeast and the Buckhead Post Office are about six to eight tenths of a mile from the practice.

Patients describe Dr. Locke as professional, warm, and patient, and note that she explains each step of an appointment and educates patients about their eye health.
