Services
LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedures use advanced Wavelight and Contoura technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Dr. Jason Edmonds, Milwaukee's Best LASIK Surgeon, performs customized treatments that reshape the cornea using precise laser technology. Patients benefit from rapid recovery times and reduced dependency on glasses or contacts, with most achieving 20/20 vision within days. The procedure includes comprehensive pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care.
Cataract Surgery
We offer laser-assisted cataract surgery with premium intraocular lens options like PanOptix trifocal and Vivity extended depth of focus lenses. Our surgeons treat age-related, traumatic, and medication-induced cataracts using state-of-the-art techniques that restore clear vision. The outpatient procedure includes advanced diagnostics to determine optimal lens selection and addresses concurrent conditions like astigmatism during surgery. Success rates exceed 98% with rapid visual recovery.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our comprehensive dry eye management addresses Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and environmental factors causing discomfort. Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription medications, and in-office procedures like thermal pulsation therapy. We diagnose underlying causes through detailed tear film analysis and provide personalized treatment plans. Patients receive education on lifestyle modifications and environmental controls to maintain ocular surface health.
Routine Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams include vision testing, glaucoma screening, and retinal evaluations for patients of all ages. Our doctors perform detailed refractions and dilated eye exams to detect early signs of diabetes, hypertension, and macular degeneration. The exams incorporate digital imaging technology for precise diagnosis and include thorough patient education about eye health. We offer specialized pediatric exams starting at age 6 months.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Dr. Michael Murphy performs reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid surgeries including blepharoplasty and ptosis repair. The procedures address functional issues like drooping eyelids while enhancing facial aesthetics. We treat both congenital and age-related conditions using techniques that preserve eye health and improve visual function. Non-surgical options like Botox injections are also available for facial rejuvenation.

Report
Off street parking made this visit easy. Due to parking shortages on the east side I expected that I would have to walk 2 to 4 block but I was quite surprised to see that there were some patient parking spots.

Report
There were multiple delays in getting the glasses made and delivered that were due to errors or miscommunication on the staff's part. It ended up taking five weeks to receive the glasses. To top it off, they sent the glasses to the wrong location and weren't ready to deliver them when I went to pick them up. Every person I talked to would say something different from the last person I talked to. Totally disorganized, very poor communication, and just terrible overall.

The entire staff are all friendly, and professional from the moment you check and until your appointment is completed. They answer all of your questions and always make you feel welcomed.

Bad customer service and long wait times. Have been seen twice and had to wait over 30-40 min each time before I actually saw the doctor - don't give people an appointment if the doctor isn't going to be available!
