As one of the finest eye surgery centers in the Midwest, we offer you various refractive surgical procedures, using the latest technology, to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contact lenses.

LASIK
LASIK surgery has helped millions of people with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism realize their dreams of better vision and life without glasses. An average of 98 percent of laser vision correction patients enjoy 20/40 vision or better after the procedure, the level required to legally drive without corrective lenses. With proper care, the healing process is relatively painless and extremely short, allowing most to drive and return to work the very next day. By eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses, LASIK surgery offers our Joplin area patients the freedom to pursue hobbies, sports, and career options without the hassle of corrective lenses.

Cataracts
The most effective way to restore vision is to remove the cloudy cataract and replace it with a plastic lens implant (Intraocular lens or IOL). With recent advances in cataract surgery equipment and techniques, vision can be restored more safely and faster, allowing patients to resume normal activities within hours after surgery (some activities may be limited during healing). Using these state of the art techniques, cataract surgery has a success rate greater than 98%.
