Why Choose Louisiana Eye Specialists
Not every eye practice is equipped to handle a complex cornea, a failed prior surgery, or a patient who’s simply run out of patience with glasses and contacts. At Louisiana Eye Specialists, those are exactly the cases we’re built for.
Request an AppointmentFellowship-Trained Cornea Expertise
Our lead surgeon is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist, which means procedures like corneal transplantation, DSAEK, and corneal cross-linking for keratoconus are core to our everyday practice — not something we refer out. If you’ve been told your case is too complex elsewhere, it’s worth getting a second opinion here.
A Real Alternative for Patients Unhappy With Their Current Vision
Many of our patients come to us tired of glasses, frustrated with contacts, or disappointed by a previous LASIK, PRK, or cataract outcome. We take the time to understand what “better vision” means to you specifically, then walk through every reasonable option — LASIK, PRK, the Light Adjustable Lens, or refractive lens exchange — rather than pushing a single default answer.
Advanced Technology, Early to the Northshore
Our team was among the first Northshore surgeons to offer technologies like the Iridex laser for cyclophotocoagulation and the OMNI and iStent systems for glaucoma treatment, and we continue to bring newer options like the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens to our cataract patients.
Two Convenient Offices, One Consistent Standard of Care
Whether you visit our Covington or Slidell office, you’re seeing the same team of fellowship-trained specialists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists — so routine care and complex surgical cases are both handled under one roof, close to home.
A Team That Welcomes Second Opinions
If a previous provider’s answer didn’t sit right with you, or your results didn’t match what you expected, we’re glad to take a fresh look. Re-evaluating patients after a disappointing LASIK, PRK, or cataract experience elsewhere is one of the most common reasons people choose our practice.

What makes Louisiana Eye Specialists different from other practices?
Our depth of fellowship-trained cornea expertise, combined with a team that regularly handles complex cases other practices refer out, sets us apart for both routine and advanced eye care.
Do you see patients who’ve had a disappointing surgery elsewhere?
Yes, this is a significant part of our practice. We offer thorough re-evaluations for patients unhappy with a previous LASIK, PRK, or cataract outcome.
