Two Prominent Optometric Practices Partner with Carolina Eyecare Physicians

Belle Hall Eye Care and Eyecare Specialties of Charleston, two Charleston-based optometric practices, have partnered with US EYE and Carolina Eyecare Physicians to enrich patient care and expand the group’s multi-disciplinary eye care services throughout the Lowcountry.

Established in 2004 by Dr. Lori Roberts Hauser, Belle Hall Eye Care became a distinguished practice in Mount Pleasant with a reputation for providing outstanding patient care. While Dr. Roberts has recently relocated outside of the area, her associate, Dr. Jeff Lynn, will remain at the practice and lead the unification. In addition to Dr. Jeff Lynn, Dr. Elizabeth Braun, a current optometric physician at Carolina Eyecare Physicians, will join him in the former Belle Hall office location with availability to see new patients.

“We see a bright future functioning as an office of Carolina Eyecare Physicians,” said Dr. Jeff Lynn. “With this operational change, Dr. Braun and I will be able to focus on patient interactions and serving the community, which is our true passion.”

Eyecare Specialties of Charleston is a Charleston-based optometric practice with three locations in the Lowcountry, founded on the commitment to delivering quality service through friendly staff members and skilled providers. Led by Dr. James Elliot and Dr. Patrick Smith, the team provides a variety of optometric services, including comprehensive eye exams, cataract and LASIK surgery co-management, glaucoma and ocular disease treatment, contact lens fittings, and more.

“We are delighted to welcome Belle Hall Eye Care and Eyecare Specialties of Charleston to the Carolina Eyecare family and US Eye network,” said Dr. Kerry Solomon, Medical Director at Carolina Eyecare Physicians and a member of the Physicians Advisory Board for US Eye. “Both practices are known for their commitment to providing exemplary service to Charleston-area residents. Our partnership strategy is to collaborate with the best and brightest providers who uphold our values of a patient-first approach to delivering care. The two practices will make an excellent addition to the US Eye network, and we look forward to continued collaboration in the years to come.”
