Dry Eye Disease
Watery, gritty sensation, scratchy feeling, burning eyes?
Now your doctors of The Eye Care Institute, may have the answer for you. We have taken a leadership position in becoming one of the first in the region to offer LipiView II and LipiFlow to diagnose and treat Dry Eye (Meibomian Gland) Disease.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is usually associated with an elevated pressure of the eye. Untreated glaucoma can lead to blindness.
Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve (the nerve that connects the eye to the brain). In glaucoma, the optic nerve becomes progressively damaged, leading to a loss of sight. Many people have what are considered high intraocular pressures with no signs of glaucoma.

Leaders in LASIK ®
The Eye Care Institute is the best in LASIK laser vision correction procedures in Louisville.
John C. Meyer, MD has performed over 7,000 laser vision correction procedures. He first used the excimer laser while completing his Fellowship in Refractive Surgery and Corneal Diseases at Emory University during 1994 and 1995. As such, he is one of the first doctors in the country to have had access to an excimer laser. LASIK is a great option but we also offer many other vision correction procedures that may be right for you.
We are excited to have Dr. Pattar join our team as our newest LASIK Doctor to the Louisville area.
