The eye doctors at Midwest Eye Associates specialize in understanding how the human eye really works
As well as diseases and conditions that affect your vision – many of which do not have obvious symptoms. Eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for young and old, and they understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses including eyeglasses and contact lenses.
Our eye doctors proudly serve the greater St. Louis area with offices in St. Charles, Creve Coeur, St. Peter’s, & Wentzville, MO. Our eye doctors provide complete eye care and eye exams for you and your entire family.
Our optometrists take the time to explain the results of your eye exam
Describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.
