“LASIK from Southern Eye Associates was a miracle come true for me!! I had worn glasses for 43 years before having LASIK and have been thrilled. It was very easy and painless. Now, at almost 60 years old, I still see great and I have never had a problem of any kind. I’ve recommended SEA to my family and my friends, whom all agree that LASIK will change your life for the better – Thanks Southern Eye!

Dr. Angela Howell, OD “I am in the business of helping people see better. When LASIK became available, I researched the procedure professionally and personally. Although I had been successful with contact lenses, the freedom of being able to see without them was very appealing. My successful LASIK was done in 2000. It has allowed me to share my experience with my patients and help them decide if LASIK is the right choice for them.

Since having the procedure done, I have been able to enjoy water sports without restriction of poor vision. The summer after my surgery, I obtained my lifeguard certification. I could finally trust my vision when swimming and to watch for the safety of others."

"Like most patients, I had reservations concerning surgery on my eyes. I hesitated for over one year because my eyesight is crucial in my profession as a physician. I have had incredible results with LASIK under the superb skill of the doctors of Southern Eye. The entire staff at this office is far above average. My only regret is that I didn’t have this surgery sooner.”

Randy Hoggard “I was dependent on glasses and contacts for almost 30 years when I decided to have eye surgery. I chose Southern Eye because of their excellent history & reputation as having the most experience performing refractive eye surgery. My surgeon and I decided that PRK was the best option for me and he was very thorough in preparing me so that there would be no surprises during or after surgery. The procedure was very simple and I never had any problems. My life is so much more convenient now, not having to think about broken glasses and losing contacts for playing sports or with my family.
Thanks Southern Eye!”

Arthur Shearin "I was apprehensive at the prospect of having Toric lens implant surgery. From my perspective, the staff and surgical team did a very effective job. I received the vision I had hoped for – excellent distant and close-up vision; no more astigmatism; no future cataracts; and essentially permanent eyesight.

No doubt some people think that one has to go to a city larger than Jonesboro – Little Rock or Memphis, for example – in order to receive excellent eye surgery. In my mind, Eye Surgery Center of Arkansas sets a similar standard of excellence for Jonesboro and the surrounding region.

I wore glasses for 52 of my 60 years. I am thrilled at knowing that I will never have to wear glasses again. Moreover, I’m happy that the eyes I now have will be my eyes for the long term.

I commend the entire staff at Eye Surgery Center of Arkansas for their professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness, and ultimately, for the skill with which they treated me as a patient and client.”

“I had cataracts in both eyes and astigmatism so bad in one eye that glasses could not correct it. So I turned to the experienced team at Southern Eye to fix my vision. My surgeon recommended the new Toric implants for me, which made me the recipient of a great miracle! Now I get up in the morning and do not have to reach for glasses, for the first time in 45 years. I can see things as they are and not as my old glasses let me see them. I live on Poinsett Lake and can now fully enjoy seeing the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The colors are now magnificent, bold and beautiful. I have had a great time shopping for regular sunglasses, something I had never been able to do before. After years of paying high prices for glasses, I now simply use a cheap pair of reading glasses only for super fine print. Thanks again to the wonderful surgeons and staff at Southern Eye for your kind, caring, respectful, and healing hands that have given this great miracle to me. May you all be blessed.”

“I have referred patients to Southern Eye for about 30 years. When I decided to have cataract surgery, I knew I would get special treatment and excellent medical care. I was not disappointed. But what I noticed was every patient was also receiving "special care." Everyone was treated with respect and courtesy. From reception to the doctors, Southern Eye Associates really seemed to care about each patient. After the surgery, my vision was (and is) 20/20 both distance and near. I am just sorry I did not have this done several years ago. I would recommend Southern Eye to anyone wanting quality and compassionate eye care. Thanks Southern Eye for everything.”

“After wearing eyeglasses since I was very young, my vision began deteriorating even when wearing glasses. Southern Eye Associates found that I had developed cataracts in both of them and performed surgery with very good results in improved vision. The surgery was done with practically NO pain or discomfort. Since having the surgery, I still need eyeglasses although my vision without them is much better than it had been even when I was young. I was very impressed with the surgery results, as well as the friendly, professional atmosphere and treatment by all the staff at Southern Eye Associates.”
