"Doctor, My Eyes" is a 1972 song written and performed by Jackson Browne and included on his debut album Jackson Browne.

Featuring a combination of an upbeat piano riff coupled with lyrics about feeling world-weary, the song was a surprise hit, reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in spring 1972, after debuting on the chart at number 80.

Browne would not see the chart's top 10 again until 1982's soundtrack hit "Somebody's Baby", with "Running on Empty" just missing the top 10, peaking at number 11.

Billboard ranked "Doctor, My Eyes" as the No. 92 song for 1972. In Canada, the song peaked at number four.

Jesse Ed Davis played the electric guitar (including a much-lauded solo) in the track, while David Crosby and Graham Nash sang backing vocals.

Russ Kunkel played drums and Leland Sklar played bass. Kunkel and Sklar reunited with Browne in May 2021 to rerecord "Doctor My Eyes" for a charity project.

"Doctor, My Eyes" became a concert mainstay for Browne, and was included on both his later compilation albums.

A live version can be found on the 1996 Australia CD release Best of... Live, a double set with Looking East, and the 1997 Japan 2-CD release of Best of... Live, coupled with The Next Voice You Hear: The Best of Jackson Browne.
