LASIK Co-Management

Performed in collaboration with TLC Laser Eye Center of St. Louis

Family Eye Care of O’Fallon Co-Manages many LASIK patients with TLC Laser Eye Center of St. Louis. This means that Family Eye Care will perform the pre-operative exam and the post-operative follow up care at our local office, thus eliminating extra visits to the St. Louis TLC office. Our doctors have trained and worked with TLC Laser Eye Center surgeon Dr. Stephen Wexler for over 25 years.

If you are interested in LASIK surgery to correct your vision, please mention this to your doctor at the time of your exam. If you are not currently due for an exam, please contact our office and schedule your free LASIK screening where one of our doctors will discuss your candidacy for the procedure.

What our patients are saying

All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Office is completely accessible. Dr. Kloke was very patient when examining my special-needs daughter. Would highly recommend Family Eye Care to others.

Ashley TimmermannDemandforce Certified Patient

The Drs and staff worked so well with my daughter. She had something stuck in her eye and was very scared. The Dr did a great job of calming her and getting the debris out from behind her eyelid.
