Fantastic experience at EyeSmith! Great care by great people at reasonable prices.
Dr. Maria and her team are amazing! Such a beautiful and clean practice with cutting edge technology. She took her time during my exam and answered all of my questions.
Maria saved my eyesight! The modern equipment in Maria S. Johnson OD ' office is the latest, and she found an anomaly in my right eye. Pressure and cells that created "dots" in my vision. All better now! Her prescriptions have been followed by me, one of which was finding I had an autoimmune response, which I'm correcting! Thank you, Maria! She has the best eye glasses and sunglasses selection too. Which is best on cartoon me?
Great family eye practice and optical store
Dr. Maria is so nice and fun and down to earth!
She gives great eye exams, takes her time and doesn't pressure you to buy anything! My husband and I love her eye glass selections and her new office is wonderful! She even went the extra mile to recreate mikes old lenses to fit the frames that he loved! We highly recommend Dr.Johnson and love Liza too!
Fantastic, helpful people and a stunning showroom with gorgeous eye and sunglass options!
Hands down the best experiences I have ever had with an eye exam. Maria Johnson is friendly and so thorough. She took her time and really explains what's going on and why with my vision. The staff is fantastic too! I highly recommend The EyeSmith.
Maria Johnson is wonderful- go see her, you will not be disappointed. She is very thorough taking the time necessary to answer every question. You can tell that she cares about her patients.
Amazingly helpful. I was passing through and needed a repair. Not only did they immediately take care of it, they didn't charge me either. I'd use them for all my eye care if I lived in Blowing Rock.
Absolutely one of the best experiences I've ever had with a doctor — Dr. Maria's practice has an incredible combination of equipment, inventory, skill, and patience. Her team has been so helpful to find the best frames and contact lenses based on each family member's unique face/eye structure and budget.

Dr. Maria Smith Johnson is my new best friend... not only did I get a comprehensive eye exam, but she identified and removed a tiny shard of metal that had been embedded for months inside the lower corner of my left eyelid just out of my vision and reach. She removed it with one deft stroke using a moistened Q-tip... I am so grateful to be rid of that irritation! The EyeSmith really is forging excellence in eye care and you will "see" the difference in how your vision care needs are met!
If you are looking for an A-MAZING experience during your eye exam, Eye Smith in Blowing Rock is THE PLACE to visit! Dr Maria Johnson taught me more about my eyes in one visit than I ever knew. There is not a waiting room with 20 chairs (in the front OR the back 😉) because she treats you like a person and not a number. I've hesitated for years to find a new office, because, well, it's just easier to keep going to the same place even if it doesn't check all the boxes, or put off going at all. I'm so glad I gave it a shot. My exam was not rushed, which relieved a ton of anxiety I have when finding my prescription. She brought out the drops with dye and when I told her I often pass out from it, she reassured me that can be a common response (why haven't all the other eye docs told me that!?) and whipped out an alternative option. And the cherry on top was that she didn't pressure me with a sales pitch at the end. I'll never go anywhere else again! Call them now, you won't be disappointed.
I was amazed today. I recently fractured my kneecap and unable to walk over the pile of snow out front. My glasses really needed to be adjusted. The doctor, herself, came to the car to fit my glasses, went back in to adjust and brought them back out to me. What great attention to someone she didn’t even know. I can assure you she will get to know me well as I intend to frequent her business! I urge you to do the same.
