It has been an incredible privilege to care for our community for more than 10 years at Pepelea Family Eye Care. I am deeply grateful for the trust, friendships, and support you have shown me. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives and your family’s eye care.

I am excited to announce I will be joining Bella Optical and Drake Eye Care starting this September. Bella optical is located at 836 N Thompson Lane Suite 1J and Drake Eye Care is at 252 Veterans Pkwy, both located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

I am blessed to join an amazing team of doctors and medical professionals that take joy in caring for patients and providing excellent care. I look forward to continuing care for you and your family.

Both locations are currently scheduling. You can call 615-217-2500 to get an appointment at either office.

Our final day of business will be Friday August 28.

Throughout August, our office will have limited hours, primarily we will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with occasional additional days as we complete the closing process.

Before August 28, please remember to pick up any prescriptions you need or any trial contact lenses.

Thank you for an unforgettable 10 years!

Our office is collecting non perishable food for local food assistance programs throughout Murfreesboro and Jamaican citizens. We have 3 barrels of food going to Jamaica that will go to locals. Canned meats, dry beans, and rice are good ideas for travel. We appreciate anything to help those in need.

Todays highlight is Dr Christina Martin, O.D. She received her Doctor of Optometry cm laude from the Illinois College of Optometry in 2013 and earned her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with honors from Northern Illinois University. Dr. Martin provides all aspects of eye care, including the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases, glaucoma, contact lenses, pediatric eye exams, and surgery co-management.
Dr. Martin says as a young child she always knew she wanted to be an optometrist. Ever since she began wearing glasses in 2nd grade, she recalls that her visits to the eye doctor were her favorite doctor appointment every year.
In her time away from the office, Dr. Martin enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, and staying active by participating in outdoor activities with her husband and daughters.

Eye exams aren’t just about getting an eyeglass prescription or contacts. It is so much more. Your doctor will look in the back of the eye through your pupil to check for many eye diseases, this includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides and diabetes just to name a few! An examination is recommended yearly! Vision loss can be prevented by staying on top of your eye health. Book your exam by calling or texting us at 615-904-9460. We would love to care for you and be a part of your health care team!

Eye health tip!!
Here are two things you CAN control to help slow down or prevent nearsightedness (myopia). Kids need to spend 1-2 hours a day outdoors. Shorten your kids time doing up close work (this means limiting the amount of time your kids are on ipads and cell phones!). Last tip: Try to get your kids to hold their books and electronics at a good distance from themselves.
Being nearsighted increases your risk of many eye diseases! Keep your kids eyes healthy!
