We have adopted some measures to protect your health and safety, as well as the health and safety of our employees, families and communities during your next appointment.  You should expect your visits to work a bit differently, while at the same time, providing you the care and attention you and your eyes need.

 Here is what might look different at your next visit:

  • Upon arrival, please make sure you are wearing a face mask.  We are requiring them to be worn the entire time you are at our office.  Our staff will also wear a face mask.
  • You will be asked to fill out and submit any necessary paperwork online, or it must be mailed in prior to your appointment in order to reduce the amount of time you are in the office.
  • You may be asked to wait in your car, rather than in the office waiting room or lobby.  This will depend on which location your appointment is scheduled.
  • We are reducing the number of appointments and scheduling them further apart to help with social distancing.
  • There will be shields on some of the exam equipment to protect you.
  • The physician will practice social distancing during your visit, ensuring there are at least 6 feet between you and the doctor-particularly during conversations.
  • You may be offered a Telehealth video conference for a virtual appointment by our physician for existing patients.  This is something our office will decide if it’s an option prior to your appointment.

We look forward to seeing you soon! Please continue to stay safe!

Best Regards,

The Center for Eye Care

Due to the Coronavirus we are striving to keep our clinic as safe as possible. Our office is following the guidelines of American Academy of Ophthalmology and postponing ALL non-urgent eye care. We are only seeing emergency patients at this time. In this case, care that cannot be postponed without causing serious harm or death.

We are asking that only the patient being seen come into the lobby, unless the patient is a minor. We are asking drivers; family members and friends to remain in their car while the patient is being seen. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to upcoming appointments please feel free to contact our office.

I can’t believe your eyes. https://www.lasikbiloxi.com/i-cant-believe-your-eyes/ https://www.lasikbiloxi.com/i-cant-believe-your-eyes/#comments Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:17:38 +0000 https://s543809464.onlinehome.us/eyecare/?p=7831 Another Saturday morning, another clinic full of patients who see 20/20 or better less than 24 hours after being legally blind.  I have been performing Lasik surgery since 1996 but my results have never been this good.  I am convinced that this iLasik is the best thing ever for vision correction.  Two of my patients from yesterday would not even qualify for lasik seven or eight years ago because they were so nearsighted.  One of them is already 20/20 plus and the other one was reading letters on the 20/10 line.  All of this less than 24 hours after surgery.  Needless to say,  they are both ECSTATIC.  I have to tell you that their excitement is so contagious I don’t mind coming in on Saturdays.  It makes me feel great to see them do so well.

Call us and let us know what we can do for you.

Dr. T.

Your wait is over! https://www.lasikbiloxi.com/your-wait-is-over/ https://www.lasikbiloxi.com/your-wait-is-over/#comments Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:16:08 +0000 https://s543809464.onlinehome.us/eyecare/?p=7829 The “i” in iLASIK changes everything about laser vision correction.  It’s innovative, individualized and the results areincredible.  It’s time!

A lot of people have had successful LASIK, but as many as 10 times that number are good candidates that are waiting. Some people are waiting because they don’t think they can afford it. Others are unaware of the true safety of the procedure. But most people are waiting simply because they lack the right information. The introduction of the iLASIK Procedure means the wait is over and it’s simple:

  • Most people are candidates — make an appointment and have an exam
  • The technologies used in the iLASIK Procedure are safe, effective and used in more than 10 million procedures
  • You can afford it, let us show you how
  • The iLASIK Procedure is not complicated — it’s fast and virtually painless

Call today for your FREE consultation to see if you are ready to have the vision you have always dreamed about!
