Ashley Bevins

Ashley is certified by the American Board of Opticianry and the National Contact Lens Society of America. She is a Tennessee state licensed optician and graduate of Roane State with an A.A.S in Contemporary Management. Ashley enjoys swimming, camping, and spending time with her family. As an optician, she enjoys helping patients with their unique eyecare needs. This is where she can use her customer service skills and optical knowledge to brighten every patient’s day, one smile at a time. Ashley has a proclivity for working with patients with challenging visual needs and excels at finding solutions to meet those needs.

Stephanie Boruff

Stephanie has been with University Eye Specialists for over twenty years. She has spent most of that time at our University of Tennessee Medical Center facility. Recently, Stephanie transitioned to our Maryville office where she has an exceptional knack for matching her patients up with frames that reflect their personality. Stephanie loves staying active through jogging and lifting weights – but most of all finds pleasure in spending time with her 3 precious grandchildren. Stephanie “considers it a blessing to be able to improve the quality of her patient’s lives.” She also admits that it is “a bonus getting to work alongside some of the best eye doctors in the industry!”

Kara Lawrence

Kara joined University Eye Specialists in early 2020 preceding the COVID-19 pandemic. She was looking for an organization that would allow her to use her over 11 years of diverse experience to take care of the Knoxville market. Her favorite aspect of opticianry is watching a patient’s face “light up” when they first try on their new eyeglasses. Kara enjoys finding the perfect, fashion-forward frame for her patients, while at the same time ensuring that their visual experience is as crisp and exacting as possible. Outside of helping people look and see their best, Kara loves spending time with her son, Kole.
