At the Tennessee Lions Eye Center, the pediatric ophthalmic clinic of the Vanderbilt Eye Institute, we know that children -- and their eyes -- have special needs when it comes to medical care. Vanderbilt's examination rooms are designed to be child-friendly, and we schedule patients so that our eye specialists come to the clinic to see your child rather than sending your child somewhere else in the medical center.
Children needing eye surgery are treated at Children's Hospital. For scheduled surgery and emergencies, fully equipped state-of-the-art ophthalmic operating rooms are accessible 24 hours a day. These rooms are staffed by pediatric anesthesiologists and nurses trained in ophthalmology.
The Tennessee Lions Eye Center also operates an outreach program that provide free vision screening to help identify young children with visual problems. With the tremendous volunteer efforts of Lions Club members across the state of Tennessee, the Lions Eye Center screens approximately 30,000 pre-literate children per year.
The Vanderbilt Eye Institute offers diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions in an exceptional medical environment, with physician specialists treating all eye issues. We employ full-time Ph.D. scientists who work closely with physician researchers to conduct cutting-edge vision research directly related to patient care. Our residency program has become the training center of choice for future leaders in opthalmologic research and surgery. Whatever brings you to Vanderbilt, you can be sure you will find a team of dedicated professionals working together to provide stellar, streamlined eye care.
