About Us
Your vision is our priority
When we talk about vision, whether it be with an optometrist, a school administrator, or even friends and family, we often emphasize the ability to see clearly. After all, millions of Americans require contact lenses or glasses to correct blurry vision. However, while clarity is certainly important, the act of vision involves the functionality of several different processes occurring within the brain. These include depth perception, spatial awareness, and visual tracking. Many of these processes are dependent upon one’s ability to use both eyes together, hereafter referred to as “binocularity”. Unfortunately, many children and adults never develop binocularity without outside intervention. This can cause headaches, double vision, difficulty reading, car sickness, vertigo, and more.
At East Tennessee Binocular Vision Center, we see your vision differently. For the past forty years, Dr. M.W. Rhyne Jr. has worked tirelessly to help people with vision problems in the Knoxville community and beyond. In 2017, he decided to apply his vast knowledge and experience in the field of vision therapy to a new family practice that would emphasize the rehabilitation and development of vision in people from all walks of life. Since then, we have made it our mission to address the binocular vision and general eye care needs of East Tennesseeans. Not only do we provide a thorough eye health examination and refraction services, we also perform a detailed binocular vision screening. This helps us better understand how your vision impacts your day to day life. After the assessment, we will analyze and discuss the results with you so that together we can form a treatment plan that’s appropriate for your lifestyle.
It is our belief that vision is the most paramount of the senses in determining one’s quality of life. Vision is the pathway through which we experience the world, whether it be in the workplace, the classroom, or at home with our family and friends. Better vision is better living, and as eyecare professionals we hope to better the lives of the patients that put their trust in us.
