About The Company

Milwaukee Eye Care Associates has been helping you see clearly since 1933. We were the first eye care practice in Milwaukee and continue to provide the same high quality services you have come to expect. That’s how we remain your vision care leaders. Our ophthalmologists were the first to offer LASIK surgery in Milwaukee, the new iStent surgery to control glaucoma and laser-assisted cataract surgery. We also offer cataract patients advanced technology lens implants to reduce their dependence on eyeglasses. New technology and expertise are important, but so is our time-honored tradition of compassionate care. Our staff is dedicated to helping you understand treatment options, so you are comfortable making decisions about eye care for you and your family. From LASIK surgery, glaucoma treatment, and cataract surgery to the way your health care providers make you feel, you deserve the best.
