Want to reinvent your look?

If you’ve been diagnosed with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or even astigmatism, contact lenses are a great choice to help you see clearly. Contacts offer a full field of focused vision wherever you look. Because they move with your eyes, they allow you track moving objects with sharp and clear and peripheral vision.

Vision 1st Nashville will help you find the perfect contact lenses for your needs and lifestyle.

How Contacts Can Help You See & Look Your Best

  • They’re great for sports and the outdoors

    Contacts offer a clear, wide field of vision, so that you can keep your eye on the ball, no matter where it is.

  • They provide visual comfort like never before

    Today’s contact lenses are made from a wide range of comfortable, breathable materials, ensuring a great wearing experience.

  • You can choose from a range of options

    Whether you need monthly, weekly, or daily lenses for single vision, astigmatism, multifocal correction, or even colored and toric lenses, we've got you covered with contact options to fit every need and lifestyle!

  • They’re perfect for every situation

    Contact lenses won’t get wet in the rain or fog up when you wear a mask. Enjoy the freedom, comfort and convenience of contacts on a night out, when exercising, or just an ordinary day at the office.


What to Expect at Your Contact Lens Exam & Fitting in Lions Head Condos

  • Eye doctor consultation

    During your contact lens exam, your eye doctor will ask you about your medical history and discuss any lifestyle or health considerations you may have. Do you have astigmatism or dry eye syndrome? Seeking colored contact lenses? Are you over 40 and struggling to read small print in books and menus? No matter the issue, we'll make sure you get the perfect contacts for your needs.

  • Get your contact lenses fitted

    Poorly fitted contacts can cause blurry vision, discomfort and may even damage the cornea. To ensure you have the most comfortable fit possible, your eye doctor will take measurements and run tests to find the right contact lens for you.

  • Receive your trial pair of contact lenses

    Once your eye doctor has determined the optimal lenses for your needs and eyes, they will often offer you a trial pair. Once you’re satisfied with the comfort and clarity of vision these contacts provide, you can buy as many contact lenses as you need for ultimate comfort and clear vision.

Contact Lens FAQs

Can children wear contact lenses?

Yes. Contact lenses can be an excellent vision correction option for children. There’s no specific age recommendation for children to start wearing contacts. Rather, parents should assess when their child is mature enough to properly care for them. Proper storage, cleaning and hygiene when inserting and taking out contact lenses are all essential for successful contact lens wear.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Toric lenses are a specific type of contact lens specially designed to address issues connected to astigmatism. In most cases, those with astigmatism can wear their choice of soft contact lenses, including monthly and daily disposables.

Are contact lenses comfortable?

Yes. Original hard contact lenses used to be quite difficult to adapt to. However, thanks to technological advancement, today's contacts are more breathable and comfortable than ever before. In most cases, soft contact lenses are easy to adapt to, even from the very start.

Why might daily disposable lenses be right for me?

Daily disposable lenses are a good choice for those who enjoy the convenience of throwing out used contacts each night, and inserting a new pair in the morning. This saves money, since there is no need for contact lens solution or a case to keep the lenses in. It also ensures that no debris has accumulated on the lenses overtime, since you insert a new one every day.

Why might monthly-wear contact lenses be right for me?

Monthly-wear lenses are great for those responsible enough to take good care of their lenses according to their eye doctor’s instructions. They tend to be made of sturdier material than daily-wear lenses, meaning they don’t tear as easily. The material also lets in more oxygen to the eye, preventing serious complications that can harm your long-term eye health. They are also more eco-friendly (think one lens per month vs. thirty) and are less expensive up-front.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hoover and the team at Vision First. I was traveling from out of s... tate and needed a routine eye exam, so I found Dr. Hoover through Zocdoc. The process was very easy and it helped me quickly find a doctor who was in-network with my insurance. Scheduling was completely online and straightforward, and when I arrived there was no wait time. The exam itself was thorough and Dr. Hoover took the time to explain everything clearly. He was very knowledgeable and made the appointment feel unhurried. I also appreciated that there was no pressure to purchase eyewear from the office, although I ultimately chose to buy my glasses from Vision First because they had a great selection. My glasses were ready for pickup within a week. A final touch that really stood out was receiving a handwritten thank-you note after the appointment. It was a small gesture that made the experience feel very personal. Overall, a smooth and professional visit from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them.

I came here because they were in-network on my vision plan. I was shopping around all in-network loc... ations on my plan to find the best pair of glasses that looked the best. I had a wonderful experience here with Tia and recommend you ask for her. I picked up around 25 frames or so in the store and tried them on. She was here for it and patiently gave advice on each one. She was spot on. She definitely understands face shape, design, and what fits you. Highly recommend you stop in here!

I'm so happy I found Vision 1st. Not only is it super convenient (and free parking in a large lot), ... but Dr. Hoover and his staff are, hands down, the best. Dr. Hoover is the first optometrist in my life where I felt like he was actually taking his time with me. He explained clearly what he saw, what he was checking for, where I was at, and gave solutions and next steps for my concerns. Picking glasses was very easy and the process underlined by honesty rather than trying to make a sale. I even got a handwritten thank you card in the mail after my visit from Dr. Hoover. Just remarkable to find such an amazing office for a day in age where care seems more money based than human centered.
