The Story Behind Our Eye Care Center
Seeing Clearly Starts Here
Welcome to Bluegrass Family Vision, where we see more than just eyes—we see people. For years, our dedicated team has provided exceptional vision services to the Nicholasville and greater Lexington communities. As a leading local eye care center, we believe that the best care comes from combining advanced technology with a genuinely personal touch. We’re not just your eye doctors; we are your neighbors, committed to helping you and your family see the world with clarity and confidence.
Our story is built on a foundation of trust, expertise, and a deep-seated passion for helping people. We understand that choosing an eye care provider is an important decision. That’s why we’ve created an environment where patients feel welcomed, heard, and valued from the moment they walk through our door. At our eye care center, you are more than a patient file—you are part of our family.
Meet Dr. Chris Mayes
At the heart of Bluegrass Family Vision is Dr. Chris Mayes, a respected optometrist whose passion is helping people achieve their full vision potential. A proud graduate of the University of Kentucky (1996), Dr. Mayes earned his Doctor of Optometry degree from the Southern College of Optometry in 2002. With over a decade of experience practicing in Danville, KY before establishing our Nicholasville location, he brings a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to every appointment.
Dr. Mayes is more than just an eye doctor. He is a family man with two daughters, Lily and Ally, and an active member of the community. His involvement with the UK Alumni Association and Ducks Unlimited reflects his commitment to the region we serve. When he’s not in the office, you can often find him enjoying the great outdoors as a member of the Bluegrass Sportsman’s League. This connection to his community and family values is woven into the fabric of our practice, ensuring we treat everyone who visits our eye care center with the respect and attention they deserve.
Our Mission: Personalized Care and Unwavering Commitment
The mission at Bluegrass Family Vision is clear: to provide personalized care that meets your needs promptly and efficiently. We believe every member of our practice deserves to be treated in a manner we would want for ourselves. This philosophy guides every interaction and decision we make. We are more than a clinic; we are a dedicated eye care center focused on building lasting relationships.
To fulfill this mission, we commit to:
