We aim to break down any cost issues that our patients may have if they are considering LASIK eye surgery. Our LASIK center goes way beyond what other centers do to help our patients overcome this affordability issue. If cost is something that has been holding you back from vision correction you should really contact us as soon as possible to set up a consultation. Ophthalmology Associates offers 0% financing, on approved credit with low fixed monthly payments, no down payment and no pre-payment penalty.

Cataract patients now have an option to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery. NEW premium lens implant technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery. If you are seeking the ReZoom or ReSTOR® IOL lens options in St. Louis the doctors at Ophthalmology Associates can help you decide which option is right for you! Ophthalmology Associates also has an accommodating IOL option known as the Crystalens®.

Find out if you can be a LASIK candidate. Take our LASIK self-evaluation test and you will be evaluated and contacted by one of our LASIK coordinators to discuss your candidacy. If you meet the requirements of our test we will suggest an in person pre-operative eye exam. This eye exam is a complete eye health eye exam and will most likely be one of the most thorough eye exams of your life. We obviously take your vision very seriously at Ophthalmology Associates.
