Optomap Retinal Exam
Optomap is one of the most exciting new technologies in eye care. No longer do patients have to be dilated for their yearly exam.
The Optos enables the doctors to visualize your retina without the side effects associated with dilating the pupils such as light sensitivity and blurry near vision. It also allows for documentation from year to year and is a great tool to show patients the back of their eyes.
Our Brentwood office was the first office in the state of Tennessee to incorporate this exciting technology
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exam include tests for binocular vision problems, color vision problems, testing for glaucoma and cataracts, as well as a dilated retinal exam if necessary.
Your prescription will also be checked, and if you desire, our doctors can also recommend and fit contact lenses and spectacles to fit your lifestyle.

Contact Lenses
Today's contact lenses offer the latest in technology and provide options for every lifestyle. They can even help correct many vision problems that glasses can not.
Advances in contact lenses and lens care products have made it possible for just about anyone who needs vision correction to wear contact lenses, including patients with astigmatism or those who wear bifocals.
Soft Contact Lenses:
Soft contact lenses are made form flexible plastic that allows oxygen to pass through to the eye. Daily wear lenses are designed to be removed and cleaned each day. Daily wear disposable lenses are removed each night before sleeping, cleaned, disinfected and replaced every two weeks. Daily disposable lenses are removed before sleeping and are discarded. They are to be replaced with a new fresh pair the next day.
Extended wear lenses can usually be worn up to a week without removal. Extended wear disposable lenses are recommended to be discarded and replaced after one week of continuous wear.
Planned replacement lenses are discarded and replaced on a prearranged schedule set by your doctor. Usually, they are replaced every month, quarter or semi-annually.
Planned replacement lenses are available as an extended or daily wear contact lens.
Rigid Gas Permeable:
RGP's are made of a firmer plastic material that also allows oxygen to pass through to the front of the eye. RGP's are available as an extended or daily wear contact lens.
LASIK
LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The goal of this Web site is to provide objective information to the public about LASIK surgery. Learn about what you should know before surgery, what will happen during the surgery, and what you should expect after surgery. There are terms and a checklist of issues for you to consider, practices to follow, and questions to ask your doctor before undergoing LASIK surgery.
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A knife, called a microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middlesection of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced.
