Ophthalmology Services Spotlight
Dr. Mills and Dr. Mayes are proud to bring advanced care to Pensacola and the entire Gulf Coast.
Dry Eye Treatment
Symptoms of dry eyes or blepharitis like gritty, burning, or stinging eyes can complicate daily tasks. Dry eye syndrome can undermine the surgical outcomes of cataract surgery. At our on-site Dry Eye Clinic, we feature Oasis Dry Eye products, as well as surgical treatments.
We use the latest technology to diagnose and treat this condition at the source. By optimizing the ocular surface before the procedure, our ophthalmologist can enhance your experience throughout cataract removal.
Recently, we invested in the LipiFlow® system, which gently and effectively treats dry eyes and other ocular surface disorders. We are one of the first practices in Florida to offer this technology, and we invite you to come in for lasting relief.
Cataract Surgery With Premium IOLs
Dr. Mills provides premium intraocular lenses (or IOLs) designed to replace your natural eye lenses and restore your vision following cataract surgery. He has extensive experience conducting the procedure, completing around 1,000 cataract surgeries a year.
Premium IOLs offer clear vision at all ranges without the need for contact lenses or glasses. They also allow you to minimize glare discomfort and see brighter, more vivid colors.
Our Pensacola, FL, team is at the forefront of cataract surgery and premium IOL technology. We proudly use AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® lenses—the first and only trifocal lens in the United States. The PanOptix lens offers enhanced vision at any distance and is available in a toric lens style to help patients with astigmatism. This lens is so impressive that 99% of patients who have received this it would choose the same brand again.
