Low Vision and Neuro-rehabilitation Optometrist: Dr. Ho

Jamie Ho, OD, FAAO, FOVDR

Optometrist

Dr. Jamie Ho is a leading expert in neuro-optometric rehabilitation and low vision, specializing in the complex “symphony” between the brain, body, and visual system. As the founder of Ho Vision Group and a dual Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (AAO) and the Optometrist of Vision Development and Rehabilitation Association (OVDRA), she brings an elite level of board-certified expertise to Nashville.

Dr. Ho’s clinical approach goes beyond standard eye care. She is a pioneer in using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Syntonic phototherapy to treat the autonomic imbalances often found in patients suffering from concussions, strokes, and traumatic brain injuries. Her work in bioptic telescopes and “imperfect fusion” provides life-changing solutions for those with significant vision loss who have been told they have no other options.


A dedicated researcher and peer reviewer for the Optometry and Visual Performance journal, Dr. Ho remains at the forefront of medical innovation—including emerging treatments for post-COVID-19 visual syndrome. Whether she is lecturing to medical specialists or working one-on-one with a patient, her goal remains the same: restoring the visual foundation necessary for a high quality of life.

Ginger - Office Manager

A lifelong Middle Tennessee resident, Ginger brings decades of office management experience—primarily in dentistry, where she found great fulfillment in seeing the life-changing confidence patients gain from a healthy, beautiful smile. After discovering Dr. Ho & her rarely known expertise in the eye–brain connection & her amazing ability to help patients recover or greatly improve their quality of life when they’ve long suffered without adequate answers or treatment from new and old injuries impacting that major connection between our eyes and brain like concussions, strokes, and other types of conditions such as low vision. Ginger quickly became a passionate supporter of the life changing treatment modalities and therapies provided at Ho Vision Group & is committed to raising more awareness for this specialized, life-changing care to the public. 
 
Ginger lives in Franklin with her husband of 18 years, John, and their adorable pup, Harvey. When she’s not at the clinic, she enjoys creating art of all kinds, such as gardening, and floral arranging, but most of all cherishes quality time spent with her young adult children, Kaitlyn and Cameron, and her close-knit family of siblings & adorable toddler nephews, and nieces.
