At Loden Vision Centers, our mission is to uniquely provide the most advanced vision technology and the best possible care while exceeding our patient’s expectations in every way. This is and has been our guiding light since we opened the doors to our first location in Nashville in 1999.

At Loden Vision Centers, we believe in an “Only I Can” attitude. For our patients, this means we take great pride in providing them with innovative, state-of-the-art technology, the most experienced team of surgeons, and a level of personalized care that no other Nashville vision correction center can match. Loden Vision Centers’ very own Dr. Loden was the world’s first cataract surgeon in Tennessee to perform advanced laser cataract surgery.

Advanced Technology Lenses

Monofocal Lens
With traditional cataract surgery, you will receive a standard monofocal lens that will provide good distance vision, but you will still need glasses for close and possibly for intermediate vision.

Astigmatism-Correcting Lens
If you have astigmatism and choose laser cataract surgery with an astigmatism-correcting monofocal lifestyle lens, you will eliminate both cataracts and astigmatism, but you will still need glasses for improved vision.

Multifocal/Accommodative Lens
With laser cataract surgery, a multifocal/accommodative lifestyle lens can improve near, far, and intermediate vision, allowing most patients to function with little need for glasses.

PanOptix Trifocal Lens
The AcrySof® IQ PanOptix Trifocal IOL is the first IOL of its kind to be FDA approved! Unlike other IOLs, the IQ PanOptix Trifocal IOL provides clear vision at three vision distances: close, intermediate, and far away!
