Medical Eye Care in Lafayette

With our state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic equipment, at OPMT in Lafayette, we evaluate the internal and external structure of your eyes to detect and monitor any abnormalities or changes over time.

Medical Eye Care in Lebanon

We are proud to provide our patients with treatment and management for a range of eye conditions, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and dry eye disease.

Early detection of eye diseases is critical to preserving your vision, and when it comes to certain eye conditions, vision cannot be restored once it’s lost. That’s why our eye exams start with assessing your risk based on an array of factors that will show us exactly what to look for, both now and as you age. This means that we’ll find early signs of a developing eye disease before it becomes an issue.

Medical Eye Exams

At OPMT in Nashville, our eye exams do not stop at vision testing. We use state-of-the-art imaging equipment and diagnostic technology to look deeper at the internal and external parts of the eye. We can examine the retinas, corneas, optic nerves and other critical structures, using this information to detect and monitor signs of developing eye diseases. This allows us to intervene before vision loss can occur.

How your contacts feel when you’re wearing them affects how well they improve your eyesight, which is why we provide thorough contact lens exams and fittings to help match you with the best possible contacts for your needs, so you can see clearly and comfortably.

Eye Exams in Belle Meade, TN

During a comprehensive eye exam, we take the time to get to know you as a person, because we believe that’s the only way to provide you with proactive, individualized eye care solutions. Whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or want to talk about surgical options for vision correction, we use our advanced equipment to generate a precise vision prescription and take the time to explain the current state of your eyes.

Dry Eye Treatment

Dry eye syndrome is caused by an imbalance in your tears — either they evaporate too quickly or they’re not created enough to properly lubricate the eyes. This leaves the eyes feeling red, itchy, and tired, and can contribute to chronic pain and even long-term corneal damage if not treated. At OPMT, we approach dry eye from all directions, using eye drops, LipiFlow treatment, and punctal plugs to address the symptoms as well as the underlying causes.
