Finally -- Clear Vision and Freedom Again, Thanks to Dr. Liz!
After LASIK, I enjoyed 14 years of crystal-clear vision -- but when that started to fade, it felt like someone flipped a switch. My distance vision blurred, and while I was still "legally" able to drive (which was shocking!), it was nowhere near the sharpness I had grown used to. Glasses gave me better vision than ever, but they came with constant inconvenience: pain behind the ears, fogging, endless cleaning, and limitations on hiking or adventuring -- especially in the rain.
Contacts were a disappointment. My previous doctor tried several brands and prescriptions, but nothing came close to the clarity of glasses. After two years and a barely touched 90-day supply, I accepted what I was told: "You'll never see the way you do with contacts again. Welcome to old age."
Enter Dr. Liz at Island Girl Eye Care, and everything changed. She was determined to help me see clearly again -- and she delivered. Even the first set of lenses she fitted me with outperformed everything I had previously tried. But instead of settling, she encouraged me to keep fine-tuning for the best possible result. Appointment after appointment, her passion and persistence shone through.
Dr. Liz is not only an exceptional optometrist -- she's a one-woman powerhouse who runs her business with more care and expertise than many corporate practices with large staffs. She invests in her education, attending multiple conferences on weekends, then returns to serve her patients with warmth, skill, and genuine connection. Talking to her feels like chatting with a friend who also happens to be a brilliant eye doctor.
I now have contacts that give me nearly the same vision as my glasses, and my adventurous spirit is back. If you're searching for someone who truly listens, refuses to settle, and is dedicated to giving you the best vision possible -- you're doing yourself a disservice if Dr. Liz isn't your go-to eye care specialist.

I had such a great experience with Dr. McLemore at Island Girl Eye Care! This was my first eye exam as an adult--I hadn't been to the eye doctor since I was a kid--so I was a little nervous and unsure of what to expect. Dr. McLemore was incredibly thorough, patient, and kind. She made me feel completely comfortable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and helped me pick out my very first pair of glasses. I really appreciated how helpful and attentive she was throughout the entire process. Highly recommend for anyone, especially first-timers like me!
It's been a long time since I've been to see an eye doctor and was feeling a little anxious about going again. I'm such a baby about things touching my eyes lol. But I had the best experience with Dr. McLemore and would 100000% recommend seeing her! She is so easy to talk to and makes you feel so at home. It hardly felt like an appointment and more like catching up with a friend! She was super professional though, the office was very clean, and when I left I really felt heard in regards to my eye concerns. She's very responsive over email and the appointment was very simple to schedule online! I would see her again without hesitation!
The IPL and RF that Dr Liz provided me transformed my eyes! After 30+ years of managing itchy and sore eyes with every eye drop and allergy med on the market, prescription and over-the-counter, I FINALLY have relief. All it took was one treatment by Dr Liz with RF. By the next day, all urgency and misery related to eye itchiness disappeared. No more rubbing my eyes until they swell. No more drowsiness from mountains of allergy meds. I completed the recommended series of IPL/RF and my eyes feel normal again. It's amazing! Dr Liz's dry eye treatments work!! Give her a call today and see if she can help u too!!
A couple years back I was a nightmare client and really indecisive about frames and lenses. Liz recommended these cool black frames, due to their life time warranty, and jumped through hoops to get the lenses that suited me.
Good call! Recently the frame developed a stress crack near the left side hinge, where I grab to take off, and put on, my glasses. I emailed Liz about the warranty. She told me she would take care of it. I took my glasses to the shop and she swapped the frames out for new ones in the store. A few minutes later I walked out with essentially a new pair!
Awesome!
Liz an awesome, fun, and cool lady with an adorable dog. She's always very professional and responsive with emails. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for an optometrist.
Dr. Liz is amazing ! She is so accommodating and always willing to help you get the best fit with contacts or glasses. She always gives you all your options and informs you of the best deals and bang for your buck. As a one woman show, she runs her business so smoothly and you would never know she was doing it all on her own! 10/10 recommend !
I had my eye appointment at Island Girl with Dr. McLemore and it was an amazing experience from the start. Had a very quick response from her email scheduling my appointment that same week, to having the best direction and parking instructions on her website and had the best patient care while in her office! Checking in was a breeze with her and the eye exam was very thorough, she explained everything very clearly & I loved that she sent me home with different contacts to try before committing to certain ones. Love Love Love.! I definitely recommend her for any eye care you may need!
Dr. McLemore is by far the best optometrist I have ever seen. She has state of the art technology that went beyond a normal eye exam. Her dog is so sweet! She grabbed so many pairs for me to try on and just was really an extraordinary experience. Very happy to have found her! Thank you so much
