Eye Surgery

Chickasha Vision Center offers a full range of eye surgery, led by Dr. John Belardo, a board-certified ophthalmologist who has performed over 60,000 vision correction procedures, and Dr. George Goodman, whose background spans refractive surgery, international research, and advanced vision care.

 

Together, they bring decades of surgical experience to the Chickasha community.

Our Eye Surgery Specialties

Cataracts

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that develops with age, causing blurry vision, glare, and faded colors. Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision quickly and safely.

 

Dr. Belardo was the first surgeon in Oklahoma to perform "no stitch, no patch, no shot" cataract surgery — a technique that is now the standard for modern cataract care.

Eye Lid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (oculoplastic surgery) can address both functional and cosmetic concerns, from drooping eyelids that interfere with vision to eyelid conditions that affect comfort and appearance.

 

Dr. Belardo completed fellowship training in oculoplastic surgery and offers both functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure in the eye, and can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

 

We offer ongoing glaucoma monitoring and treatment, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), to help protect your vision and slow disease progression.

Lens Replacement

Lens replacement surgery removes your eye's natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), correcting vision issues such as presbyopia and reducing dependence on glasses or contacts.

 

This procedure uses many of the same advanced techniques as modern cataract surgery.

EVO ICL

EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a vision correction option for patients who aren't good candidates for LASIK — often due to thin corneas or high levels of nearsightedness.

 

A thin, biocompatible lens is placed inside the eye to correct vision without removing any corneal tissue, and the procedure is reversible if needed.

Laser Vision Correction

Laser vision correction (including LASIK) reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses and contacts. Many patients are candidates for a quick, in-office procedure with a fast recovery.
