Eye Doctor in Springfield, MO

Have you been searching for a Springfield eye doctor or ophthalmologist? Missouri Eye Institute can provide you with a variety of eye care services including:

Eye Care Services

LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK is a quick and safe laser procedure we use to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, we reshape the cornea to help light focus properly on the retina. Most patients notice a big improvement in their vision within a day or two, and many are able to reduce or eliminate their need for glasses or contacts.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is one of the most common and effective procedures we perform. Cataracts cause the natural lens in your eye to become cloudy, which can make your vision blurry or dim. During surgery, we gently remove that cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial one. It’s usually a quick outpatient procedure with a short recovery time—and patients often say it feels like they’re seeing the world clearly again.

Corneal Transplant Surgery

If your cornea is damaged or diseased and affecting your vision, a corneal transplant may be the best option. This surgery involves removing the damaged portion of the cornea and replacing it with healthy donor tissue. It’s a delicate procedure, but it can restore vision, reduce pain, and improve the appearance of a scarred or cloudy cornea.

Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma is a condition where pressure builds up in the eye and can damage the optic nerve over time, leading to vision loss if not treated. The good news is we have several ways to manage it. Depending on your case, treatment might include eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery to help lower the pressure in your eye and protect your vision long term.

Eyelid Surgery

Also called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery is done to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids. Sometimes this is done for cosmetic reasons, but it can also improve your vision if drooping eyelids are blocking your sight. It’s a relatively quick procedure that can make your eyes look more open and refreshed—and in many cases, help you see better too.
