Introducing Our New Lens

The RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens is the first and only intraocular lens (IOL) that can be customized after cataract surgery. The Light Adjustable Lens is made of a special photosensitive material that can be adjusted in response to ultraviolet (UV) light. This optimization is done by your eye doctor in the weeks following lens implantation through a series of non-invasive light treatments that take only a few minutes each. You will have the unique ability to adjust and preview your vision until it meets your personal desires and lifestyle requirements. The Light Adjustable Lens delivers superior vision outcomes that non-adjustable IOLs cannot match.

Your eye health and satisfaction with Surgical Eye Care is our primary concern. Dr. Alan Brown and Dr. Richard Dax Hawkins along with their caring staff are prepared to answer any questions you may have about your eyes and help you find your way around our state-of-the-art facilities.

We have three offices located in Wilmington, NC, Supply, NC, and Kenansville, NC. Our Wilmington office houses our premier Refractive Surgery Laser Suite and Vision Research Center. The Vision Research Center is the first of its kind in the Carolinas and is dedicated to developing new instruments, techniques, and diagnostics designed to help eye surgeons around the world to improve their surgical results. The Supply, NC office is conveniently located for our patients from Brunswick County, Columbus County, and the Myrtle Beach area.
