Direct-to-Doctor Contact

The decision on where to have eye surgery is one of the most important choices you will ever make, because of this, you will be given direct cell phone access to our team of doctors. This way, we are just a phone call away.

Safety First Approach

We pride ourselves on offering the best surgery for you and your eyes, whether it’s advanced surface treatment, ICL technology, refractive cataract surgery, or iLASIK. Not all clinics offer or perform all surgeries; some may perform a less optimum procedure because they don’t offer all options.

Co-management with your local Eye Doctor

We work with and offer education to all the optometrists in the region (Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska) to facilitate your care – making it easier for you to have the procedure, with less travel expense.

The Eye Institute utilizes industry standards and focuses on the details of your eyes to get the best correction.
