Summary

  • Brinton Vision is committed to one goal—changing lives through the priceless gift of sight. So much of what we love, we love with our eyes. There are too many beautiful things to see and experience to let contacts and glasses get in the way. In order to free patients of the hassles of corrective eyewear, Brinton Vision uses the most advanced, proven technology as part of our St. Louis LASIK practice. Our practice is outcome-driven, meaning that we personalize our treatments so that each patient achieves their best possible vision and meets their unique vision goals.

    In addition, our talented team at Brinton Vision is dedicated to providing extraordinary care for all of our patients so that the entire vision correction experience is as enjoyable as possible. If you were to ask any of our Brinton Vision alumni what made their LASIK experience exceptional, you may hear about an empathetic staff member who went above and beyond to provide excellent, comprehensive care throughout each step of the process.
