Arthritis
Medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, diabetes, and thyroid disease are more likely to be affected by dry eye.
Primary Care
Patients participating in Health Spring or other HMO insurance companies must obtain a referral from their primary care physician prior to their office visit. Those referrals can be faxed from the primary care physician directly to our office at (615) 915-5091 or (615) 915-5074. It is the patient’s responsibility to verify insurance benefits prior to their appointment. Refer to the back of your insurance card for customer service help.
Emergency Care
While it’s true that good nutrition is essential for long-term eye health, there can also be a more direct connection between food and eye safety. Make sure you know how to keep your eyes safe in the kitchen before you spend long hours on holiday meals. If you do injure yourself, see your ophthalmologist or go to the emergency room if symptoms — like pain, redness, blurred vision, tearing or feeling like there is something in your eye — don’t go away.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious eye disorder in which the optic nerve becomes damaged. The optic nerve connects the eye and the brain; it must remain healthy for the eye to see. High eye pressure is associated with many types of glaucoma. Glaucoma can cause blindness if left untreated. It is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States.
Ophthalmology

Macular Degeneration
The eye acts like a camera, with light passing through the clear structures in the front of the eye and focusing at the back of the eye, specifically on the retina. The retina acts like film in the camera, turning light into impulses that travel up the optic nerve to the brain. The brain then interprets these impulses. A specialized area of the retina called the macula is what allows us to see detailed, central vision. In macular degeneration, the macula is damaged and results in extreme loss of central vision. Research has not yet uncovered the cause of macular degeneration. A visit to your eye doctor is your greatest defense in helping to preserve your vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
As with any surgery, there are risks. This procedure is the most common eye surgery performed and is extremely successful in most cases. Your doctor will explain the various risks.
Cataracts
Cataracts are the clouding of the eye’s natural lens. (See the illustration on the left.) The lens normally focuses images on the retina. When the clouding occurs in the lens, blurred vision is the result. Some people describe their vision as if they are looking through waxed paper or a waterfall. (In fact, the word cataract in Greek means “waterfall.”) Other symptoms include glare and halos around lights, starburst with oncoming headlights, or the inability to distinguish images at near or distance with normal lighting.
Cataract Surgery
The clouded lens is removed in a surgical procedure and replaced with a cataract implant. It usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is commonly done on an outpatient basis. An intraocular lens (IOL) is placed in the eye to replace the eye’s natural lens. Usually, patients will go home the same day as their cataract surgery with a patch and a shield covering the eye. They will come back the next morning to see the doctor. The patient will wear the shield at night for another week and will be given some sunglasses to be worn as needed. A regimen of drops will be prescribed.
Eye Exam
Whether you’re here for an eye exam or contact lenses, all new patients will be asked to complete a New Patient Registration Form and a Medical History Questionnaire. We will need to see your valid insurance cards and photo ID to set up insurance filing. Established patients will be asked to verify their current demographic, medical and insurance information. Accurate records help us to serve you more efficiently and file your claims correctly. Click below to download the forms you will need. You may print them off and bring your completed forms to our office to expedite the check-in process.
