I am so glad that I chose Dr. Horn to correct my vision without glasses. I saw 2 doctors before I chose him. He is the best. I can now see just as well as I did as a teenager. I am so happy that I chose him. I no longer have to worry about finding my glasses that constantly slid off of my nose. He is so professional and yet so friendly. I have referred several friends to him. He is what we used to expect in a doctor. He is there for the welfare of his patients–not just the money. I wish that all of my doctors were of his school of thought because he treats his patients the way that he would treat his family.

Dr. Horn,
I want to thank you so much for the wonderful care and expertise you and your staff provided in my cataract surgery. I was very impressed and very appreciative of the time you spent with me to understand the impact of my lifestyle on my vision needs and the great skill you demonstrated in choosing just the right combination of lenses to give me a full range of vision with no need for glasses at all. For my favorite activities I’m corrected to better than 20/20.
Before coming to you, I had been referred by my optician to another ophthalmologist who, I learned later, was not even qualified to offer accommodating lenses as an option. My primary care physician then referred me to another very well known ophthalmologist. He was certified for accommodated lenses, and correctly identified a cornea condition that could have impacted outcome, but told me that my surgery could result in a 5 to 10% chance of requiring a cornea transplant as a result of this. I then began to do my own research and chose you based on your reputation, accomplishments and certification by Bausch as one of the few Centers of Excellence for Crystlens in the Nashville metro area. You were much more thorough in your assessments and explanations, and gave me a high degree of confidence that my surgery would be successful without complications.
Your staff made unsolicited praises of your dedication to having the best equipment, being a perfectionist in developing the best solution for your patients and creating a great team environment. Even the nurse at the surgery center said you had a reputation for being an excellent surgeon.
My experience with you and your staff was far superior to that with either of the other two doctors, and the results you provided with the improvements in my vision are just amazing. So thank you again for your dedication to your profession, your mastery of your surgical skills and the care you show for your patients and the precious gift of vision. You’ve made a wonderful difference in my vision and in my life.

I had a problem keeping glasses on without my nose being constantly irritated. I visited 2 places recommended to me, and I was not happy with the lack of care given to me regarding selection of the proper treatment for my specific needs. Thank God, I found Dr. Horn. I now have no cataracts, and I can read perfectly without glasses thanks to the implants used for my needs. He is the best! His staff made me feel comfortable, and the follow-up is fabulous. I have referred several friends to him. I respect Dr. Horn for his progressive treatment methods as well as for selecting the proper treatment for my specific needs.

I chose Vision for Life for my Lens Replacement surgery because I felt confident in Dr. Horn. My surgery was about 6 months ago, and the care I received from Dr. Horn and his entire staff was excellent – from the receptionist to the nursing staff, everyone was excellent! I’m 63 years old and now I can clearly read road signs at a distance, work on my computer, read close-up, sew and mend things… all without glasses!

The best part about having LASIK is the ability to feel at my best all the time, without having gloomy glasses days. Now, nothing is holding me back! Dr. Horn was fantastic… very thorough, and the entire staff was great! Thank you for holding my hand through this life-changing experience!

Dr. Horn,
Merry Christmas from Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. I wanted to thank you and your staff for everything you did to help me get my vision corrected before leaving for this deployment; it’s one of the best decisicions I ever made! I can’t imagine living in this environment while still being dependent on glasses. We definitely made the right decision for me to go with PRK. Every thing is going great here with me and my eyes. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I’ll see you when I get back.
Warm regards,
LT Paul P.

Dr. Horn took the time to answer all my questions and put me at ease. Having LASIK was a great decision. And the best part was that I could see clearly in less than 24 hours! I had a great experience. I’m very satisfied and will not hesitate to recommend my friends!

Dr. Horn treated me like a person, not like a procedure or a paycheck. His staff was great, especially Lorrie! She was like a friend from the first time I spoke to her so I had NO anxiety about the procedure.
The best part about having LASIK is not having to worry about putting contacts in to see when I’m in the shower or swimming!

Dr. Horn has been elevated to sainthood in our family as my dad was diagnosed with macular degeneration and Dr. Horn determined it was a mis-diagnosis. My dad is 90 now and doing well. Thank you so much!!!

Dr. Horn and his staff are wonderful. I woke with a swollen, blind, very painful eye. My physician referred me directly to Dr. Horn. Upon immediate arrival his staff began to take care of me. I was treated for the pain in the waiting room! What care! But there was no waiting. I went back to Dr. Horn who took such great care of me. My husband and I knew we were at the right place. I want to tell everyone what a great experience I had. Dr. Horn and his staff turned a frightening morning into a painless, comforted afternoon. Thank you, Phyllis

Appox 5 yrs before I became a patient of Dr Horn’s I had been to a Dr in Chattanooga for cataract lens replacement. He did multi-focal lens replacement and said everything was fine for me. And it was except I couldn’t see. He told me it might take a yr to get the full benifit of implants.
Yr later, no improvement. I decided to change Drs. Went to a very well known Dr in Nashville. He said he could help me with lasik. Same story, it would take a while to get full benifit. Two yrs later, no improvement. Basically gave up but then decided to try one more Dr. I found my way to DR Horn and after a long period of time and much discussion with Dr Horn, I(we) decided to remove my transplants and try a different lens.
Bottom line is I now have multi-focal lenses that are great. Now a year later I see distance, read and everything in-between. No glasses needed. Thank you Dr Horn.
P.S. Yes I paid for lens replancement twice and lasik once.

Dr. Horn, today is a day that I celebrate you and your staff! The comments from your numerous success stories that line your office walls speak clearly as to why your patients appreciate the services provided here.
When I consider how truly blessed I am to have gone from the discovery that I was “legally blind” as a student finishing 3rd grade, to the level of sight your efforts now allow me to enjoy, I am grateful beyond words…
Thanks again.

Your caring atmosphere exudes compassion, expertise and kindness. There is no hint of narcissism from what I would call The Best Vision For Life provided by The Best Ophthalmologist in our lifetime. Thank you for my ability to see – even without the aid of glasses, for your gentle spirit and the natural ability to make a “terrified phobic” see.
Dr. Horn has a gift past medicine – he conducts himself as a “human being” which many surgeons have long forgotten. None of this has gone unnoticed.

Money well spent. Thank you for convincing me of the right lens choice – I would have been disappointed otherwise.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
I am so happy with my new lens! I can read and see things that I could not see before. I give your card to everyone I talk to.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
I only wish I could have had this implant years ago. I have to get used to not putting my nose close to what I’m reading. I thank my Lord for you and for what He has done for me.

I graduated from bifocals to trifocals, and when you have that type of eye wear, you’re always trying to “find your vision.” So I told Dr. Horn, “Let’s do it!” Now, I can read anything – from the smallest of print to the largest and everywhere in between and have instant focus.
I have better vision now than I did when I was a teenager. I don’t wear any glasses except sunglasses, and for the first time in over 30 years I was able to buy a regular pair of sunglasses. This surgery is easier than taking a physical.

I thought cataract surgery was for old people until my mom had cataract surgery with Dr. Horn, and I found myself having her read the menu to me because I couldn’t read it without my glasses! I wanted what she had – her life back.
I was one of the first to get the new ReSTOR 3.0. Everything in my life required clear vision – my work as a registered nurse, my home with a special needs child and my spiritual needs – so it was worth it. I needed close, far and in between, and I got it. I don’t wear glasses anymore.

Dr. Horn used the Toric lens to improve my vision in a matter of minutes, literally. When they wheeled me into the recovery room, I still had a cataract in my right eye and a patch over my left eye. But the patch had holes in it, and I was able to read the signs on the walls! I started crying. It was emotional for me because I’ve never been able to see like that. Dr. Horn gave me a big thumbs-up and I gave him one back and I knew this was going to be wonderful.
