Great Plains Eye Specialistshas been providing eye care in Rapid City and the surrounding communities for over 40 years. In 2022 Colin E. Brown, MD, became the new owner of our practice, continuing our reputation for exceeding our patients’ expectations. Our entire team is dedicated to providing high-quality, technologically-advanced eye care while always striving to create positive patient experiences. We provide a variety of specialty eye care services including:
- LASIK vision correction
- LASIK alternatives (Blended Vision LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL™ and more)
- Laser-assisted cataract surgery with many Intraocular Lens (IOL) options, including advanced technology IOLs for greater spectacle independence following surgery
- Corneal disease treatment/surgery
- Eyelid surgery and medical BOTOX®
- Dry eye/allergy treatment
- Diabetic eye care
Our top priority is to provide you with the best eyesight possible. We will not approve you for any surgery unless we feel strongly that you are an excellent candidate and it will improve your quality of life. This can only be determined during a comprehensive consultation or exam. These appointments are also designed to educate you about:
- Your unique eye health
- Which surgeries might enhance your vision
- Our advanced technologies
- Our doctors’ experience, knowledge and track record of success
This is not “assembly line” eye care; this is truly personalized care before, during and after your surgery. Our entire team is with you every step of the way.
