Each year we raise money to help the fight against breast cancer. 🩷

This year, our team came up with an idea to have a bidding war to pie our leadership team.

Neither the team, nor the bidder knew who won the bid until it was revealed during our training day! 😅

Thank you to all of our teammates who bid and our leadership team for being such great sports for an important cause. 🤗

p.s. Be sure to stay until the end to see who SURPRISED Dr. Loden with extra pie…

Yesterday, the world lost one of its brightest lights.

Dolly Parton was more than an icon. She was a storyteller, philanthropist and proud Tennessean whose kindness and generosity touched millions.

Here in Middle Tennessee, her passing feels especially personal. Dolly wasn’t simply a star. She was part of the fabric of our community and a beloved piece of what makes Tennessee home.

All of us at Loden Vision Centers extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and everyone who loved her.

Thank you, Dolly, for sharing your light with Tennessee and the world. 🦋

Every patient has a story and a life they want to see more clearly. 💚

Meet Mary. For 30 years, she’s worked at a local Nashville restaurant. And now, with grandkids to watch grow up, clear vision means more to her than ever.

Mary came to us through Operation Sight with cataracts in both eyes, making the world around her feel like she was looking through a “dirty windshield.”

Watch as Dr. Loden performs Mary’s cataract surgery and just minutes later, she’s already able to see across the room. 🤗

This is why we do what we do. Better vision means getting back to the people, places, and moments that matter most.

Do doctors get LASIK? Absolutely.

When your career depends on precision, clear vision matters. For Dr. Smoak, that meant saying goodbye to the glasses he’s worn since childhood and no more lenses fogging up in the operating room.

We were honored to welcome Dr. Smoak to Loden Vision Centers for his LASIK procedure with Dr. Loden. Watch his reaction as he experiences life with clearer vision and takes the next step toward visual freedom.

Congratulations, Dr. Smoak, we’re excited for you to enjoy your new view of the world! 💚 It was our pleasure to have you here at Loden Vision Centers. 🤗

👀 Thinking about EVO ICL? We’re answering the TOP 5 questions we hear most often here at Loden Vision Centers!

1️⃣ What is EVO ICL? A revolutionary implantable lens used for modern vision correction. It’s unique because it’s a solution for those who may not be a candidate for LASIK or simply want a procedure that’s reversible.

2️⃣ Does it hurt? Nope! The procedure is designed to be comfortable. You may feel a little pressure but no pain.

3️⃣ Is EVO ICL permanent? Yes, but it’s also removable if ever needed, making it a flexible vision correction option.

4️⃣ How long is surgery? The procedure itself typically takes about 20 minutes for both eyes.

5️⃣ Who is a good candidate? EVO ICL may be a great option for people who aren’t candidates for LASIK or who have higher prescriptions. Others choose EVO ICL simply because they prefer the procedure and outcomes over other corrective surgeries.

💚 Our team is here to walk you through every vision correction option. Schedule your complimentary consultation today and see if EVO ICL is right for you!
