Cataract Eye Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons specialize in cataract removal using advanced microsurgery techniques. We replace cloudy lenses with intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clarity and improve vision. Millions undergo this procedure annually, with our team ensuring swift recovery and reduced dependence on visual aids. Patients benefit from personalized consultations to select the optimal IOL, including premium options for astigmatism correction and multifocal capabilities.
Oculoplastics
We offer surgical and cosmetic treatments for eyelid and tear duct conditions. Procedures like blepharoplasty correct drooping eyelids affecting vision, while brow lifts address sagging brows. Our specialists also perform skin cancer removal with reconstructive surgery, ensuring both functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement. All treatments prioritize ocular health while enhancing the natural appearance of the eye area.
Comprehensive Eye Care
We provide full-spectrum eye exams to detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Our evaluations include visual acuity testing, eye pressure screening, and retinal imaging. Patients receive guidance on managing common disorders such as nearsightedness and astigmatism, with corrective solutions ranging from glasses to contact lenses and surgical interventions.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our specialists manage glaucoma through eye drops, laser procedures, and minimally invasive surgeries. Treatments like selective laser trabeculoplasty and iStent implantation reduce intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. We emphasize early detection through regular screenings, offering personalized plans to slow disease progression and preserve vision for patients with open-angle or angle-closure glaucoma.
Dry Eye Therapy
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye syndrome through advanced therapies. Options include artificial tears, prescription medications like Restasis, and in-office procedures such as TearCare. Our approach addresses underlying causes like meibomian gland dysfunction, combining warm compresses, punctal plugs, and nutritional supplements to restore tear balance and alleviate symptoms like irritation and blurred vision.

My first time here and probably last. I entered a waiting room with 15 people waiting, and a receptionist who wanted to take my personal history verbally in front of everyone. When I refused to answer questions in public, she proceeded to read me a disclaimer and had me sign blindly without seeing what I was signing. 40 minutes after my appt. I am finally taken back where again an assistant proceeds to take my history verbally.
This all could have been accomplished much more quickly and efficiently if they had just let me fill out the history. She took my glasses to check the prescription but apparently didn't know what she was seeing because she didn't realize I had no-line bifocals. I finally saw the doctor for maybe 5 minutes. I have no faith that this was a worthwhile exam.

I would never go here again. I was lied to about my co- pay then sent a bill for 94.79 dollars more. Then was sent to collections with no notice. Don't go!

If it were not so sad I would have to laugh from two posts 6 and 8 months ago about the phone system. I called Tuesday morning at 11:45 about a problem. They told me the triage nurse checked her voice mail every 30 minutes. Almost 5 hours later she called back at 3:57. I called her back at 3:58 and they had already shut the phone system down for the day! I figured she would call back on Wednesday which she did not.
I called back Thursday morning and talked to the office about the problem but they couldn't care less. I am happy with the doctor but the office problem continues. Dr Scruggs did surgery for entropion correction. He did a superb job. Give stars for him but their office practices still need a lot of work.

Lana and I have seen 3 doctors in the practice and couldn't be happier. I especially like that Dr Barber really takes time to review the data before proceeding with a plan for the vision issues I have had. Great professionals. We are so thankful for their care.

I really, really like this place. The doctors are excellent. THE PHONE SERVICE STINKS. Every time I call between 0800 and 0830 the message is: The office is currently closed, normal business hours are 0800-1200. This is normal for the phone support staff. This review is for phone staff's indifference to this issue, who's response to this issue is "We are busy, and only three of us here", tough. What does it take to switch the phone to message used when open, at 0800 rather than 0830, answer: SECONDS, results: customer satisfaction goes up!
