Why Patients Choose Us

Expert Doctors Who Care
Our team includes board-certified ophthalmologists and skilled optometrists, many with fellowship training (extra specialized education) recognized in their fields.

We invest in the latest equipment and techniques so you get the best possible care. We’re proud to be first in bringing many innovative treatments to the Quad Cities:
- First to provide LASIK surgery
- First to offer laser cataract surgery with advanced lens options
- First to provide the iStent for use in reducing eye pressure during cataract surgery
- First in Iowa to offer the Light Adjustable Lens, letting patients customize their vision after cataract surgery


Complete Eye Care for All Ages
From basic eye exams to complex surgeries, we handle everything related to your vision locally. We are the only practice in the QCA to have specially equipped exam rooms for children and a dedicated pediatric ophthalmologist.
24/7 Emergency Care
