OUr Doctor
Brian Rogers, O.D.
Raised on a small farm in a southern Kentucky county on the Tennessee border, Dr. Rogers considers Nashville home. After completing externships in a private ophthalmology practice setting, Veterans Affairs hospital, and Fort Knox military base, he graduated from Indiana University School of Optometry in 2014. He then practiced in a corporate setting until a position for a mobile pediatric optometrist became available in Nashville in 2015.
In this paradigm, he encouraged a passion for treating underserved communities in Tennessee. However, as it is unfortunately the case, these practice modalities are difficult to sustain and he began working again with a corporate optometric facility. There again, he discovered the challenges faced when trying to merge corporate interests with patient care. So in 2017, he parted ways with profit-driven institutions to forge a new path.
His vision
To deliver the highest standard of care while prioritizing patients over profits. Past affiliations with corporate optometry revealed to him how patients’ well-being can become auxiliary to profits and that this mindset has invaded the private optometry space as well as optometric chains. In 2017, he founded Resolution Eye Care as a direct attempt to change the focus of eye care. Founded on ethical resolutions to treat all patients, all employees, and the whole community in a non-extractive, intentionally personal manner.
HIs SupportWhen Dr. Rogers began searching for a space to begin seeing patients, he serendipitously discovered many like minds and like visions operating a luxury eyewear company named Barton Perreira. So after many months of deliberation, Resolution Eye Care found a way to work symbiotically with them in their Green Hills location.
In time, this location allowed Dr. Rogers to springboard into a full-scope private practice in East Nashville. The new home of Resolution Eye Care is now well positioned to care for the growing demand for eye care in East Nashville. |

OUr Resolutions
Silly business
Profit should be the result of trust and mutually beneficial exchange, not manipulation and extraction, thus we resolve not to recommend additional services, pictures, upgrades to glasses, etc. unless it directly and immediately benefits the patient
Between the good of the patient and profits, we resolve to serve the patient
Adamantly local
All economy is local economy. Stated differently, all economic activity results from the mutual trust of two individuals; that a service or product would be delivered in an manner deemed equitable by two individuals free of coercion or exploitation.
To that end, we resolve to honor the trust that all patients and customers place in our team as well as respecting the lives and time of those persons who create our products.
We strive to be candid with everyone about the origin of our eyewear and we will deliberately avoid eyewear made affordable by paying foreign labor less than that of American inmates.
As a result, we source most eyewear from first world countries or America.
We also reward local economy by offering a 10% discount to anyone who demonstrates that they rode their bicycle to our office.
Committed to equality
A consistent philosophy of the equal value of all individuals and respect for the experiences that have formed them is foundational to any notion of justice.
We thus resolve to treat all employees and patients with such dignity and respect which is afforded by their participation in the human race.
We are committed to 100% wage parity and the principles of equality enumerated by British economist and thinker E.F. Schumacher.
Unabashedly personal
We concern ourselves with the good of each person, not nameless humanity and resolve to treat each person in their full complexity
Frames are selected in this fashion, tailored to each person’s vision for themselves
Every patient is a person with a story worth hearing and we resolve to listen

Our Services
Comprehensive Vision and Eye Health Examinations
Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. The entire exam process can take an hour depending on the complexity of the problem. Each patient will be evaluated with a refraction, slit lamp, intraocular pressure and a retinal exam.

We want to insure the good sight, vision, and eye health for the rest of your child's life and take a preventative approach to his/her general health and eye health.
