— HOW CAN WE HELP?
What are you
experiencing?
Start with what you're noticing. Each topic explains what it may mean and the care available at Reeves Eye Institute.
Blurry or cloudy vision
Cloudiness, dull colors and trouble with night driving are classic signs of cataracts.
Glare, halos & night driving
Seeing halos around lights or struggling with night driving starts early with cataracts.
Trouble reading up close
Holding things farther away after 40 is presbyopia - there are options beyond readers.
Tired of glasses & contacts
LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL and Refractive Lens Exchange can reduce your dependence on them.
Flashes or new floaters
Sudden flashes, floaters or a shadow can mean a retinal tear or detachment - call us promptly.
Distorted central vision
Wavy or blurred central vision can be a sign of macular degeneration.
Diabetes
Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults 20-74. Annual dilated exams protect your sight.
Droopy or heavy eyelids
Sagging upper lids can obstruct vision, and your insurance may cover the repair.

- EXPLORE OUR CARE
Every path begins with better questions.
- CATARACT CARE
Advanced cataract surgery options that can transform your vision.
With advanced lens implants, you now have the option to see clearly at near, far, and intermediate distances.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful surgeries performed in the United States. Our cataract team uses advanced technology to ensure precision and safety, with customized treatment plans for each patient's individual needs. We offer a full range of advanced lens options so you can achieve the best possible vision.
- CUSTOM LASIK
Custom LASIK : precision vision, tailored to you.
Life after LASIK means clearer vision and greater freedom - without the hassle of glasses or contacts.
Without custom LASIK, doctors must rely on one-size-fits-all, traditional laser vision correction, which achieved great results but is not nearly as precise as CustomVue. In fact, our practice can now deliver CustomVue, which has a 25-times more precise treatment than traditional LASIK. Originally invented by NASA for use in high-precision telescopes, wavefront technology uses a wavefront sensor to measure the unique optical imperfections of your eye. Dr. Reeves then creates an individualized, FDA-approved treatment plan to accurately address your vision needs.
- EVO ICL
Revolutionary vision correction with EVO ICL.
A cutting-edge option for those who aren't candidates for LASIK.
The EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) involves implanting a thin, flexible lens inside the eye to correct nearsightedness with or without astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, it's reversible and doesn't alter the cornea, making it an ideal choice for people with thin corneas or higher prescriptions. EVO ICL offers fast recovery, excellent visual outcomes, and the potential for sharp, clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts.
“EVO ICL lens has helped me live life to the fullest with no more hesitation. I simply wake up and go about my day.”
JOE JONAS - EVO ICL PATIENT
- REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE
Too old for LASIK, too young for cataract surgery?
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) could be the procedure for you!
Refractive lens exchange is a surgical procedure where the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Often used for individuals who are not candidates for LASIK, RLE offers a long-term solution for those seeking freedom from glasses or contacts, especially for people with presbyopia or early cataracts. The procedure is similar to cataract surgery and can improve vision at various distances.
- WHY LASIK
Why is LASIK an excellent choice for vision correction?
*Over 19 Million LASIK procedures have been performed across the world since its inception in 1996.
LASIK surgery is a commonly performed procedure to correct vision that can provide freedom from glasses or contact lenses. The advancements in technology have made LASIK surgery an extremely popular and highly successful alternative to wearing glasses or contacts. In fact, millions of people worldwide have enjoyed the benefits of refractive (vision correction) surgery.
The Reeves Eye Institute is happy to provide this life changing surgical procedure to our patients. The Reeves Eye Institute LASIK team is like no other. From the pre-operative evaluation to all of your post-operative visits, your surgeon will be at your side to ensure your surgery is a success.
- UNDERSTANDING CATARACTS
Cataracts often start quietly.
Cataracts can start with subtle loss of color vibrancy and contrast sensitivity, or they can cause blurring of vision. Left untreated, cataracts can develop further, becoming more severe and leading ultimately to significantly impaired vision, which can make it difficult to perform daily activities safely or comfortably.
Early detection through an exam by your optometrist or Dr. Reeves can determine the presence and the extent of a cataract. When detected early, specialized vision care may be able to temporarily alleviate the effects of cataracts by prescribing glasses, strong reading glasses, or lifestyle adjustments. For cases that continue to advance, timely surgery is the only option to restore your good vision.
01 Cloudy or blurry vision
Cloudiness or blurriness is one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of cataract development, as the natural crystalline lens gradually loses transparency over time.
02 Poor night vision
Driving at night becomes increasingly difficult due to reduced light transmission, muted contrast, and difficulty seeing in low-light environments.
03 Colors seem faded
As cataracts progress, the lens develops a yellowish or brownish tint that absorbs light, making bright and vibrant colors look faded, yellowed, or washed out.
04 Glare or halos around lights
Light passing through a clouded lens scatters unevenly, creating severe glare, starbursts, or noticeable halos around headlights, street lamps, and bright indoor lights.
05 Double vision
Uneven density in the cataract can diffract light rays into multiple paths, producing monocular double vision or ghost images in one eye.
06 Sensitivity to light
Bright sunlight, oncoming headlights, or intense indoor illumination can feel excessively harsh, uncomfortable, or cause frequent squinting.
