Optique Announces Addition of Optometrist Dr. Zack Reynard to Dry Eye Center

August 14, 2026 -

Optique, a Nashville-based vision care practice, has expanded its clinical team with the addition of a nationally recognized specialist in dry eye and ocular surface disease. The practice confirmed the appointment as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen its dedicated Dry Eye Center and broaden the range of advanced care available to patients in the region.

Welcoming Dr. Zack Reynard reflects a strategic focus on interventional treatment for dry eye, a condition that affects millions of individuals and can significantly reduce daily comfort and quality of life. Dr. Reynard joins the practice as one of the nation's top recruits in the field, bringing extensive training and a personal understanding of the challenges patients face. As an expert in interventional care, Dr. Reynard brings many tools beyond prescribing eyedrops, including expression of the eyelid glands, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), treatment of allergies, blepharoexfoliation, intracanilicular gel for lacrimal occlusion, vaporization of the bacterial biofilm within meibomian glands, and a host of other advanced procedures.

Dr. Reynard's path into optometry began with his own experience as a dry eye patient, an experience that shaped his commitment to helping others manage the condition. His arrival adds depth to a team already known for its work in ocular surface care.

"My own experience as a dry eye patient is what inspired me to pursue optometry, so I know firsthand the impact the right treatment can make. I'm honored to join Optique and help bring the most advanced dry eye and ocular surface care to the Nashville community," said Dr. Zachary Reynard.

Leadership at the practice pointed to the significance of the appointment for both the team and the patients it serves. Dr. Jeffrey Sonsino noted the caliber of the new addition and the credibility it brings.

"We are thrilled to bring Dr. Zack Reynard to Nashville. He has a depth of knowledge in dry eye that is unparalleled and adds significant credibility to our team. And on top of that he is a super great guy," said Dr. Jeffrey Sonsino.

Dr. Michele Sonsino described the impact Dr. Reynard has already had on the patients under his care and the qualities that distinguish his approach.

"Dr. Reynard is an exceptional addition to our Dry Eye Center. His extensive knowledge, expertise, and genuine passion for helping patients are what truly set him apart. Patients consistently share how much of a difference he has made in their quality of life," said Dr. Michele Sonsino.

Dry eye disease and related ocular surface conditions have drawn increasing attention within the field of optometry as awareness grows and diagnostic and treatment options continue to advance. The addition of a specialist focused on these conditions positions the practice to respond to that demand with a higher level of dedicated expertise.
