Pediatric Care
Since 1986, The Eye Institute has been providing the highest quality of eye care in an ever-changing world of medical innovation. Today, we're known as Northeast Oklahoma’s most comprehensive eye care centers. The Eye Institute is a multi-specialist Ophthalmology practice, offering services ranging from comprehensive eye exams to specialty services including General Ophthalmology, Cornea, Retina, Glaucoma, Pediatrics and Adult Strabismus, Refractive and Oculoplastics and Orbital Surgery.
Infectious Diseases
Medical and surgical treatment of corneal ulcers, tumors, pterygia, and other inflammatory and infectious diseases of the cornea and anterior segment of the eye.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Although glaucoma cannot usually be cured, it can be controlled. The Eye Institute’s team of highly trained ophthalmologists, including a glaucoma specialist with advanced training, is successfully treating glaucoma with the latest techniques. Medications in the forms of eye drops and pills, as well as laser treatment and advanced surgical procedures, are proven to be effective treatments against glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
A board-certified ophthalmologist is one who has received a certificate from the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO), which is the oldest medical specialty board in the United States. It has been providing certificates to qualified ophthalmologists since 1916. Those certificates are the only ophthalmology certificates recognized by both the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
Macular Degeneration
Consultative services for loss of vision from age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusive disease, epimacular membrane, macular hole, retinal detachment, inflammatory eye disease (uveitis) and retinal dystrophies
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK surgery is a procedure that utilizes a laser to reshape the cornea (the windshield to the eye) to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is important for patients to understand that no eye surgical procedure is risk-free. Over 30 years of experience however, have indicated a high level of both safety and efficacy associated with both LASIK and PRK.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding or opacification of the lens of the eye. The lens is located directly behind the pupil and is mandatory for the correct focusing of images onto the retina. As the lens becomes cloudy, vision diminishes and there is often a progressive decrease in one’s ability to see things clearly.
Cataract Surgery
As cataracts develop it is often possible to change one’s glasses prescription to reacquire clear vision but eventually if the cataract becomes dense enough, it is not possible to correct by changing the prescription. Cataract surgery may become the only way to re-establish clear vision. Certain diseases such as diabetes are associated with an increased incidence of cataracts.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is a large part of oculoplastic surgery. Nobody understands the eyelids like an oculoplastic surgeon. When considering cosmetic eyelid surgery, it is always important to remember that the function of the eyelids is to protect the eyeballs. The eyelids are an integral segment of the vision system, and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids should never compromise ocular health.
Plastic Surgery
Oculoplastic surgeons are experts in eyelid, orbit and lacrimal surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon is a board-certified ophthalmologist who has completed further fellowship training in plastic surgery of the periocular area. This field of medicine is devoted to treating problems of the eyelids, eye socket and lacrimal system.
Blepharoplasty
As ophthalmologists, we understand that the eyelids are an integral part of vision. A drooping or heavy upper eyelid can block vision. When the eyelid is affecting vision, an oculoplastic surgeon can help by correcting the anatomic deformity. Blepharoplasty and ptosis repair are two of the most common procedures that are performed. Surgery on blocked tear ducts, eyelid skin cancers, and orbital trauma and tumors are also very common problems addressed by the oculoplastic surgeon.
