Our LASIK Specialists
Board Certified Evansville Ophthalmologists
We are the most experienced LASIK team in the Tri-State with a 20 year track record of excellence resulting in improved vision for thousands of tri-staters.
At The Vision Care Center, there are no routine LASIK patients. Every patient is unique with unique vision correction and lifestyle needs, such as hobbies, careers, and family dynamics. We accommodate your vision needs with optional no cost/no obligation consults conducted by our certified refractive coordinator, Amanda Reshetar, available Monday through Friday. Our complimentary consultations provide the opportunity to gain such critical information as corneal thickness, pupil size, glasses prescription, occupational vision needs, and visual desires with activities/ hobbies you enjoy.
