About
Included on Newsweek's list of Amerca's Best Eye Doctors 2021!
At Karns Vision, we have years of experience providing eye care services to residents of Knoxville and the surrounding areas. Our caring team, including Dr. Shane Presson, Dr. Michelle Presson and Dr. Kate Allen, provide full-service eye care as well as pre- and post-operative LASIK care.
At Karns Vision, our eye doctors have helped countless patients in Knoxville improve their vision and enhance their eye health.
Our eye doctors rely on advanced diagnostics to administer vision and eye exams to patients. During each exam, patients are asked about any symptoms they are experiencing. Vision tests determine the prescription strength you need while eye function tests evaluate depth perception, light responsiveness, color vision, and more.
Based on the results of your eye exam, our optometry team may recommend corrective lenses or contact lenses. Your level of refractive error helps us determine whether glasses or contacts suit you best. We provide different types of contact lenses to patients, including soft lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, and hybrid lenses. Our eye doctor will recommend a specific type of contact lenses to improve your vision without aggravating any eye condition symptoms.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment. We look forward to seeing you!
