ABOUT US

Our lives unfold within the community of Fayetteville. Our areas of expertise are eye health and eye wear.  We enjoy seeing those things all come together at BMEC

BMEC is simply a reflection of its community

BMEC was founded by Dr. Ben Lynch in 2014.  It was founded upon, and remains grounded in, a belief that independent eye care is best for patients and community.  What does that mean?  It means BMEC is not owned, influenced or controlled by any corporate or outside entity.  This ensures that all health care decisions are made with you, and only you, in mind.

This also allows us to carry the absolute highest quality eye wear that the world produces.  Have you seen those documentaries that claim all eyeglasses are made in one factory? Not true.  Our frames are made in ethical, state of the art facilities which are often ran by families who have been making glasses for generations.

DR. BEN LYNCH

Optometrist & Owner

Dr. Ben Lynch was born in Fayetteville and his family has called the hills of Arkansas home for generations. He graduated from Rogers High School, the University of Arkansas, and Northeastern State Oklahoma College of Optometry. In his spare time he enjoys fly fishing, reading, biking and most outdoor activities.

Dr. Ben's favorite musicians oscillate between Lord Huron and Jason Isbell. His favorite authors are Gabrielle Garcia Marquez and Cormac McCarthy. His ideal vacation is a wide open space of natural beauty.

Dr. Ben founded Boston Mountain Eye Care in 2014 and loves operating a small business in our growing community. He believes healthcare should be honest, transparent, and patient focused. He remains commited to independent practice rather than a large, coporate-owned practice so that he can prioritize patient care, world class eyewear, and community-based growth. Dr. Ben loves Fayetteville and welcome all who value the benefits of locally based health care.
