Optometrist, Chris Jabaley O.D.
Owner and President of Jabaley Eye Care
Doctor Chris Jabaley is a native of Fannin County, and has practiced optometry in the Blue Ridge and McCaysville area for 8 years. Upon graduation from optometry school in 1999, Doctor Jabaley joined his father's practice in McCaysville, GA. In 2005, the practice underwent an exciting transition to a new, more convenient location on highway 5 next to West Fannin Elementary school. This transition allowed Doctor Jabaley to have the most technologically progressive eye care practice in the North Georgia area.
Doctor Jabaley is a contact lens specialist with the distinction of being certified as an orthokeratology clinician. This post graduate certification allows Doctor Jabaley to fit patients with overnight vision retainers to non surgically correct near sightedness. His family practice includes treatment and management of all eye conditions including: Diabetic Eye Care, Hypertensive Eye Care, Cataract Co-Management, Dry Eye Syndrome, Thyroid Eye Care and emergent care including foreign body removal. Doctor Jabaley also enjoys an excellent relationship with the DeStifano Laser Eye Center in Chattanooga, TN and co-manages LASIKS both pre- and post-operatively. Doctor Jabaley remains cutting edge in new optometric treatment and has given lectures on both the East and West coast.
Doctor Jabaley is married to Doctor Jennifer Jabaley and has a son Sam. In his spare time, Doctor Jabaley enjoys golf and Georgia Tech football.
