FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can any optometrist sign my home state's vision form? Yes — in most states, a licensed optometrist anywhere in the country can complete and sign the vision form for your renewal. Dr. Nathan Lipe is a licensed OD in Tennessee and is qualified to complete out-of-state DMV vision examination forms.

What if I don't know where to find my state's vision form? Search your home state's DMV website for "vision examination form" or "driver's license renewal vision form." Most states have it available as a free PDF download. If you can't find it, just call us at (615) 249-4926 and we'll help you track it down before your appointment.

Do I need a full eye exam or just a vision screening? Most states only require a basic vision screening to confirm you meet the minimum acuity standard — typically 20/40 with or without correction. However since you're already here, a comprehensive exam is a smart choice. We can check your overall eye health and update your prescription at the same time.

What do I bring to my appointment? Bring your current driver's license, your state's vision examination form (download it from your home state's DMV website before your visit), and your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them.

How quickly can I get an appointment? We offer same-week appointments for most patients. Call us at (615) 249-4926 or book online — we'll get you in quickly so you can get your form signed and your renewal submitted without any delays.
