Dr. Shawn McBride is the owner of Tullahoma Vision Associates and a native Tullahoma. He has been practicing optometry here since 1992 after graduating summa cum laude from Southern College of Optometry. During his training, he distinguished himself by receiving the highest score in the nation on the National Board exam and was his class salutatorian. With his knowledge, experience and a clear commitment to eye care excellence, Dr. McBride has earned a reputation as one of the area’s most trusted vision-care providers with thousands of satisfied patients.

Like Dr. McBride, Dr. Jimmy Blanks is a Tullahoma native and has practiced in this area since 1987. During that time he has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to practicing at the highest level and staying abreast of the latest developments in medical eye care. He also shows his compassion for his patients at every turn and has deservedly developed a very loyal following over the years. Dr. Blanks also believes strongly in giving back to his community, serving for many years as a city alderman and taking leadership roles with many boards and community organizations.
