Health & Wellness Seminar - Eyes Wide Open: The Secrets of Sight and the Business Behind Your Care

September 2, 2026 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM (EDT)

Description

How is an optician different from an optometrist and when do you need an ophthalmologist? Which eye diseases steal vision silently, which warning signs cannot wait, and what can today’s cataract surgeries really accomplish? In this presentation, ophthalmologist Matthew Hollar, MD, will explore eye health from cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal emergencies, while revealing the remarkable technologies now preserving and restoring sight. He will also cover on how insurance, consolidation, and corporate ownership are transforming the relationship among patients, physicians, and the businesses that deliver care, what these changes can improve, what they may put at risk, and how you can become a wiser healthcare consumer. Come find out who's really watching your eyes.


          Presented by: Dr. Matthew Hollar

Dr. Matthew Hollar joined the team of comprehensive ophthalmologists at North Georgia Eye Clinic in 2016, specializing in medical and surgical care of the eye. A native of western North Carolina, he and his family have lived north of Atlanta since 1999. For his undergraduate studies, Dr. Hollar graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN where he was awarded a full academic scholarship and was named the 2003 male United States Presidential Scholar for the state of Georgia. Afterward, Dr. Hollar enrolled in the Duke University School of Medicine where he received his Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree and was also awarded a full academic scholarship. During his time in medical school, Dr. Hollar devoted two full-time years to research at the Duke Eye Center studying age-related eye diseases. Following medical school, Dr. Hollar returned to Nashville where he completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He then began residency training in Ophthalmology at the Vanderbilt Eye Institute and Veteran’s Administration Hospital. Dr. Hollar is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
