At Thomas Eye Center, our eye doctors bring decades of clinical experience, advanced training, and a deep connection to the Athens community, taking the time to understand your vision needs and deliver care that’s thoughtful, thorough, and personalized.
A thorough eye exam should feel like a plan—not a rush. Your evaluation may include prescription refinement, eye coordination checks, eye pressure testing, and detailed retina/optic nerve assessment to help screen for concerns like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease.
If we find something that needs follow-up, you’ll get a clear explanation and a practical next step—without guesswork.
Some eye conditions develop quietly. Ongoing monitoring helps catch changes early and supports long-term vision protection, especially when risk factors like age, diabetes, or family history are involved.
If drops haven’t helped, it may be because the root cause hasn’t been identified. Our dry eye clinic uses advanced diagnostics to evaluate tear quality and gland function, then builds a treatment plan aimed at lasting comfort.
When a child’s nearsightedness progresses quickly, slowing that progression matters. Myopia management options are designed to support long-term eye health and help reduce the risk of future vision complications.
Considering cataract surgery or LASIK? We help you understand your options, coordinate with the surgeon, and stay with you through pre-op planning and post-op care—so you feel supported at every step.
Patients consistently mention friendly staff, thorough exams, and a comfortable experience—reflected in an approximately 4.9-star reputation across hundreds of reviews.
