Very thorough eye exam by extremely caring professionals. Love how Dr. Choate took the time to explain what the results of my exam meant and how we could best correct my vision for my specific needs in my work and in my everyday life. Could not be happier with the selection of frames to help me look my best, too! Barbara was amazing helping me pick everything out and making sure I'd have the perfect fit for my vision needs. I highly recommend Dr. Choate Eye Associates!

I have been a patient for almost twenty years. Dr. Choate and his team are the best in the industry. During my last visit Dr. Choate was extremely busy with one case being urgent. He still took the time to fully evaluate me, discussing treatment options and offered optical counsel in regards to a vision issue. I never felt rushed. If you are looking for a true professional Walter is the best! He can handle everything from a simple eye exam to surgical follow up. If you are fed up trying the rest, make plans to go see the best and call them today.

Doctors Recommend Regular Eye Exams to Promote Your Long-Term Vision & Overall Health
Regular eye exams are the best way to diagnose and treat health issues at their earliest stages and before the onset of symptoms. Based on your age, background, and other risk factors, doctors recommend that you schedule an eye exam annually or more frequently.
General Population
Everyone should undergo regular eye exams and you should schedule them more frequently as you get older. Eye professionals generally recommend eye exams every one to two years depending on age and medical conditions.
At-Risk Individuals
If you have a high risk of vision problems, you may need more frequent eye exams. For example, if you have diabetes, we will typically recommend at least one visit per year because of the increased risk of eye diseases.
Vision Screenings vs. Our Comprehensive Eye Exams: What's the Difference?
While most optometrists offer vision screenings, Dr. Choate is one of the few doctors in Nashville, Goodlettsville, or Hendersonville, TN, to offer truly comprehensive eye exams.
Comprehensive eye exams are different from vision screenings, although we generally perform the two at the same time. A comprehensive exam typically focuses on the physical health of your eye. During your visit, Dr. Choate will check for a variety of concerns, including:
As you get older, you are at an increased risk of developing these conditions. Through regular exams, Dr. Choate can often identify eye diseases and treat them before they permanently damage your vision. In particular, regular eye exams will help to diagnose glaucoma. Without routine care, this disease will often go undiagnosed until it causes major vision loss. In addition, with age, you are more susceptible to vision deterioration, such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. At your visits, we can monitor your eyesight, updating your lens strength as needed.
