Why DVC?
Vision by Age
There are various vision correction and eye health issues that patients can benefit from in the age range of 20 to 40 years old. Many of our patients in this age range enjoy the lifestyle benefits that LASIK eye surgery and vision correction procedures offer.
Learn More About SMILEOnce people get into their 40's it is common for presbyopia to set in. Reading vision becomes a problem and once strong eyes often begin to decline. Contact us anytime if you feel your vision is getting worse and we can make a suggestion on the best path forward.
Learn More About Refractive Lens ExchangeFor patients over 50 who are experiencing blurry vision, we recommend scheduling a cataract evaluation with one of our ophthalmologists. As we age, the likelihood of developing a cataract increases, and we often find that cataract surgery is the recommended treatment plan.

LASIK Procedure
Custom Care™ LASIK at Discover Vision Centers is a one-of-a-kind system, which allows the doctor to individually treat your eyes to fit your lifestyle and your needs. LASIK (Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) was a breakthrough technology that became available in the mid-1990s in the United States. Since then, millions have benefited from this laser procedure by correcting their vision and giving them independence from glasses and contact lenses. LASIK has the ability to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. If you are considering LASIK eye surgery, don’t you owe it to yourself to find the best specialist that Kansas City has to offer? Discover Vision doctors are among the best in the world and have treated patients from 43 states, and 25 countries in addition to serving our local community in Kansas City, Independence, Leawood, Olathe, Lee’s Summit, The Legends, The Northland, Blue Springs, Harrisonville, Raymore and more.

SMILE Eye Surgery
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the latest advancement in laser vision correction. Discover Vision Centers and Dr. John Doane in Kansas City were involved in the clinical research to gain FDA approval starting more than a decade ago. Dr. Doane has performed more SMILE procedures than anyone in the United States. He has also trained many eye surgeons in the U.S. and abroad on the SMILE Vision Correction procedure.

Premium IOL
Cataracts occur when the lens inside our eye becomes cloudy. Cataract surgery can be performed to remove our natural lens and replace it with a man-made intraocular lens implant (IOL). 20 years later, technological advancements now provide implants that not only replace the cloudy lens but these premium intraocular lenses correct distance, intermediate, and near vision to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. Discover Vision Centers has surgeons in Missouri and Kansas with extensive experience with premium cataract surgery with advanced intraocular lens implants.
Our services
PRK
PRK (Photo Refractive Keratectomy) can also be referred to as ASA (Advanced Surface Ablation). It is a corrective laser eye surgery that can be utilized as an alternative for those that are not candidates for LASIK or SMILE. For example, someone with insufficient corneal thickness may still enjoy the benefits of excellent laser vision correction as a safe option.
