Why Choose Optometry at Vanderbilt
- Second opinions
A second opinion can help you make the best health decisions. We review your medical history, diagnostic tests, any previous treatments and your personal preferences to give you an informed opinion.
- Team approach
We work together to ensure that you receive the comprehensive care you need. Our team members collaborate with each other, as well as with experts in other medical disciplines, to provide you with individual care that addresses your unique needs.
- Specialty services
We serve patients who travel to us from other states to be fitted for custom-made scleral lenses by our optometry team, a service not available in a typical optometrist’s office.
- Knowledge and experience
Our doctors have extensive experience caring for people who have difficult needs for vision correction. It can be hard to get the right prescription for eyeglasses if you've had surgery or a trauma to your eye. Our depth of experience means expert, comprehensive care for you.
