About

James W Vann, OD

A comprehensive eye exam should include far more than merely determining a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. At VisionArts Eyecare Center, we believe that Healthy Sight Starts with a Healthy You. We know that your eyes are indicators of your overall health, and we take time to get to know our patients, their health history, and their lifestyle and vision needs.

At the top of his field, our optometrist in Fulton, also certified as a holistic health practitioner and health coach, is dedicated to the prevention and early detection of eye disease. One way we achieve this is by incorporating high end technology into our eye care services. We diagnose and treat all kinds of ocular diseases, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts. Managing diabetes and diabetic retinopathy is one of our specialties and our new CLEARPATH DS-120 scanner has put us on the cutting edge of diagnosis and treatment of this potentially blinding disease. Our eye doctor is also experienced at removing foreign bodies, treating dry eye and computer vision syndrome, and providing pediatric and children’s eye exams. He specializes in hard to fit contact lenses, often successfully fitting patients who have never been able to wear contacts in the past. We also offer LASIK consultations and eye surgery co-management, in addition to non-surgical vision correction options such as Ortho-K.

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to help you every step of the way, from the initial scheduling with our front desk specialists, through the testing and exam with our patient technicians and doctor’s assistants. Should you need eyewear, our opticians and frame stylists go the extra mile to provide eyewear that fits comfortably, looks great, and provides optimal vision. Our frame and lens options are virtually endless, with something to fit every need and every budget, including specialty eyewear such as safety glasses and sports goggles.

While eye care is our main focus, there’s a lot more to VisionArts Eyecare Center. As Fulton’s only locally owned and operated optometric practice for nearly 25 years, we are dedicated to giving back to our community. From our Second Sight Friends fundraiser to food drives to The Great Glasses Play Day, there is always something fun and exciting happening at VisionArts!

I was very impressed with the level of knowledge that they had about different types of contacts. They were so helpful that they even recommended a brand that they thought would be appropriate for my lifestyle. They are WAY overbooked and the staff is clearly overworked and not always that pleasant. I've never been in there when the waiting rooms weren't packed with a bunch of very aggravated people. They seem to be more concerned about quantity of business over quality. I feel like they always have a special going on every time I visit. Even if I don't bring in a coupon the staff will inform me of the promotions they have going on so that I can save money. They've never used foul language, which has bothered me at some of the other places I've been too. They always make an extra effort to be polite and courteous.
