About Us
YOUR LOCAL HIGHLANDS OPTOMETRY PRACTICE
Louisville's local eye doctor in the Highlands provides services for eye exams, eye wellness, glasses, and contacts. Our eye doctor and owner, Dr. Michael Martorana, is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive eye exams Louisville has to offer. Our eye exams use the latest technology and equipment to insure that your prescription is the most accurate that it can be. Our eye exams are not rushed; they are thorough with our doctors making sure to take their time with getting an accurate prescription and health evaluation for each and every patient. Being a independent, Louisville optometry practice, we believe it is important to support local businesses; most of our glasses are sourced from independent, American owned brands that make quality eye glasses optimized for all different types of eye prescriptions. The eye glasses we carry range in price range and style; with brands from TOMS to STATE eye glasses, we know we can find a style you will love. We also guarantee all of our eye glasses up to a year after you buy them for any accidental breakages because we understand: mistakes happen. No matter whether you are a first time contact lens wearer or if you are a seasoned contact lens wearer, we make sure our patients have the contact lenses that are the right fit and provide the best vision for them.

Jamie King
Experience:
Jamie's love for Falls City Eye Care comes after a well-experienced journey through the optics industry. Jamie has worked in the optics industry for four years, everywhere from LensCrafters to Twin City Optical. She landed at Falls City because she was excited about what Falls City stood for - the fact that Falls City sees it's patients as its neighbors and participates in community events meant a lot to her.
Job Love:
Jamie's favorite part of her job is working with the children that come in and need glasses. She loves the fun selection Falls City has that let the kids express themselves. The look of "awe" that a child sees the first time they have their vision correction is what fuels Jamie's dedication to optics.

Experience: Carol started her professional career with a degree in Early Childhood Education where she worked for 10 years as a teacher for special needs, infants, and early learners.

She loves to learn new things every day. Her main focus is billing and she will be certified as a Biller and Coder in March 2023.
Job Love: Carol enjoys helping those who are coming into the world of wearing glasses or contacts for the first time and seeing how it changes their life experiences. She also loves making sure each person has a positive personal experience.
