The Vanderbilt Eye Institute made its debut earlier this week with an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new facility — located in the South Garage Office Building — will house the Tennessee Lion's Eye Center for Children, a refractive laser suite, diagnostics area, an optical retail shop, departmental offices and designated exam and waiting room areas for all sub-specialty care.
In all, the expanded space will have 53 exam rooms.
