Ophthalmologist in Kingsport

The team of eye doctors at Reeves Eye Institute provides the Kingsport area eye care services that include:

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts are a natural part of aging; they begin with blurry vision or a loss of color but can develop to impair vision severely. You can detect cataracts early through routine eye exams. The best way to treat cataracts is through cataract surgery, where the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens or IOL. Depending on which IOL you choose, you could potentially see better than ever before! Take our free online IOL self-test today to see which IOL works for you!

LASIK

LASIK is a widespread procedure that can reduce dependency on glasses and contacts and correct eye disorders such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. However, not everyone is a candidate for LASIK; feel free to take our online free LASIK self-test today to find out if LASIK is a good fit for you!

Routine Eye Exams

To be sure of the health of your eyes, it’s imperative to have routine eye exams. Having regular eye check-ups will assure you that you’re not developing an eye disorder, as some progress with no symptoms! Please schedule a consultation with us today to begin your routine eye exams and ensure your eyes are always healthy.

Diabetic Eye Care

If you have diabetes, you might need to be concerned about your eyesight. High blood sugar and high blood pressure from diabetes can affect your vision and potentially develop diabetic retinopathy. The damage that occurs from diabetic retinopathy happens very slowly and subtly. In some cases, this disease doesn’t show symptoms until severe damage has already happened. If you’re concerned about your risk for diabetic retinopathy, schedule a consultation today!

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure used to fix sagging or drooping eyelids that might affect your vision. Before surgery, Dr. Reeves will evaluate your condition and help you to determine whether or not insurance will cover the eyelid procedure needed. Many are covered if eyelid surgery helps your vision, but all others would be considered cosmetic and aren’t covered by insurance.

Reading Vision

There are procedures to restore your reading vision for those suffering from presbyopia, a prevalent condition in aging individuals. The KAMRA Inlay is an eye procedure that restores near vision, eliminating your need for reading glasses. Before undergoing KAMRA Inlay, you’ll meet with Dr. Reeves for a pre-procedure exam and consultation. If this sounds like a procedure that could be helpful to you, call or schedule an appointment today!
