Our Services
At Dillard Eye, we focus on YOU, the individual. An unhurried approach is taken so that your vision can be treated with special care. We want your visit to be pleasant and to move along smoothly because your time is important... not only to you, but to us as well. In order to do this, you are offered a wide variety of services using the latest technology.
Insurance
We participate with many insurance companies. Please check with your insurance company to find out about your coverage for vision and/or eye services. Payment for services requested are the responsibility of the patient regardless of insurance coverage OR our participation with an insurance company. Any charges not covered by insurance are the responsibility of the patient. We do not participate in any discount eye glass plans. Value is of much better quality when shared by only two. Discount eye glass plans cause the quality to have to be split between three entities, the patient, the doctor, and the discount plan.
Our Patients
Our practice is "family" oriented. This means we see all age patients for any and all eye health and vision related needs. We now treat the grandchildren of patients who started with us back in 1973 and were patients of Dr. Walker H. Matthews who started this practice waaaaaay back in 1937.
Services Include
- Traditional Vision Examinations with non-traditional methods.

- Failed laser vision surgery ( Lasik ) responds favorably when using the Keratron Topographer and Wave contact lens fitting system.
- Keratoconus patients are well served with the Wave system of contact lens fitting. The lens is contoured to the undulations of the misshaped cornea for comfort and stability of fit.
- Contact lens wearers new to our office: To keep fees reasonable, bring your contact lens boxes or a signed copy of your last contact lens Rx to your appointment. Fees will be charged if we must perform a fitting in order to properly formulate your contact lens prescription.
- New, first-time contact lens wearers will have a fee for fitting. Fees vary according to the difficulty of prescription and fit, i.e. astigmatic (toric) fitting and lenses are more than spherical fits.
- Bifocal contact lens services using Wave, Bausch & Lomb Soflens, and Bausch & Lomb PureVision.
- Misshaped corneas due to surgery or trauma providing poor vision may need scleral or semi-scleral lenses. These lenses do not touch the delicate cornea and provide better vision in almost all cases. We have been fitting these lenses for more than 15 years and are the area's recommended consultant for Dr. James Hays of Woolfson Eye Institute in Atlanta.

- For nearsighted patients we offer Wave Orthokeratology, a method of reshaping the cornea (corneal molding) through night wear rigid contact lenses, designed to place the eye's focus on the retina so glasses are not needed for distance vision. Unlike laser vision correction, Ortho-K is safe and reversible... even for children age 8 and older. Rxs up to -7.50 are successful.
- Wave is the only custom corneal reshaping system available.
- Wave is the only method of corneal molding which can correct for astigmatism of more than 1 diopter.
- We are the only office offering the Wave Orthokeratology Technology.
