Meet Dr. Bennett

Eye care that
finally feels
personal.

Dr. Simone Bennett founded Clarity Eye Studio after a decade in corporate optometry with a single conviction: that a great eye exam should never feel rushed, and that the right pair of glasses can genuinely change how a woman sees herself — not just the world.

She completed her Doctor of Optometry at UAB School of Optometry, with specialized training in contact lens fitting, ocular disease management, and dry eye therapy. She sees patients of all ages but has built a practice that particularly resonates with women who want a doctor who listens before she prescribes.

"Your eyes tell me so much more than what's on the eye chart. I'm interested in how you live, what you look at all day, and what you want to see more clearly — literally and figuratively."

— Dr. Simone Bennett, O.D.

The Eyewear Boutique

Your frames
are part of
your identity.

We curate our eyewear collection the way a fashion editor curates a wardrobe — with a genuine eye for what is beautiful, unusual, and built to last. You'll find independent European designers alongside beloved classics, in frames that flatter faces the way great clothes flatter a figure.

Our optical team takes the time to understand your lifestyle, your coloring, your face shape, and your personal style before showing you a single frame. Shopping here feels nothing like the chain optical experience — because it isn't.

Patient Stories

What our patients
see differently now.

★★★★★

"I've worn glasses since I was seven years old and I have never had an eye exam that felt like this one. Dr. Bennett spent 55 minutes with me, explained everything she saw, and asked about my life before she asked about my eyes. The frames I left with are the best I've ever owned."

Patient since 2021 · Glasses & Contacts
★★★★★

"I was finally diagnosed with dry eye syndrome here after years of being told my eyes were fine. She actually listened, ran the right tests, and gave me a real treatment plan. Six months later I am off the drops I'd been using for a decade. I wish I had found this practice sooner."

M
Michelle K.
Dry Eye Treatment Patient
★★★★★

"I brought my 4-year-old daughter here because she was squinting constantly. Dr. Bennett was so gentle with her — my daughter left saying she wanted to come back. She was fitted for glasses within the week and her teacher called us two days later to tell us she was a different child in class."
