Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial ones to restore clear vision. Using advanced technology like LenSx laser for astigmatism correction, we ensure precise outcomes tailored to your lifestyle. Patients receive pre-operative measurements and personalized care from our experienced surgeons at Salem Laser and Surgery Center.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye care includes TearLab testing and Inflammadry diagnostics to assess tear quality. Treatment options like prescription therapies and lifestyle adjustments are customized to alleviate discomfort. Our dedicated dry eye clinic, led by Dr. Shupe, addresses chronic symptoms for long-term relief and improved ocular health.
Glaucoma Management
We diagnose and manage glaucoma through intraocular pressure monitoring, OCT imaging, and visual field testing. Treatment plans may include medicated drops, laser therapy, or surgical interventions to prevent optic nerve damage. Regular follow-ups ensure stable eye pressure and preserved vision for patients with this progressive condition.

As always, MCEC is a stress-free experience. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The Optical Department is outstanding! Michael always remembers our names and makes us feel welcome. Paula helped us with our glasses this visit and was excellent. She went out of her way to make sure everything was right.

Not professional. I Went in for a visit and was told I did not need prescription glasses. I then made an appointment with another eye doctor and was told I needed Glasses. So obviously they were completely wrong.

I went here for the first time a few weeks ago. I have never had a better experience at any vision place. I felt so comfortable and happy with every person I worked with. And the optical manager has to be the nicest buy I ever met. You can tell he throughly loves his job and enjoys being there. And my glasses turned out amazing. Super happy. Thank you!

I would give them a 10 star review if I could. I've had a wonderful experience here. Dr. Shupe has always answer all of my questions, he is very knowledgeable and kind. his staff has always returned my calls when needed and if they are not available another team member will call me back. The billing department has been super nice and helpful when I have questions about my bills or codes. They gave me a huge discount when it was time to have cataract surgery (I am self pay) with Dr. East. The Optical department has always adjusted my glasses at no cost every time I come in for an appointment.
