About the Southwestern Eye Center
Serving LASIK / Cataracts Patients in Metro Phoenix and Rural Arizona
Southwestern Eye Center's roots date as far back as 1954 with the establishment of Dr. Rex Weaver's private practice in Mesa Arizona. Dr. Weaver set a precedent for providing care in Arizona's rural communities.
In 1982 Dr. L. Lothaire Bluth joined Dr. Weaver and in 1983 implemented the concept of offering outpatient surgical care on site. In addition to being more efficient and cost effective, outpatient surgery offers Arizona / Phoenix LASIK and cataracts patients care in an atmosphere that is comfortable and familiar. It allows them to return home following surgery and eliminates unnecessary hospital expenses.
Today we have surgery centers in Mesa, Casa Grande, Safford, Nogales, Yuma, Prescott, Phoenix, Sun City, Sierra Vista, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City, Lakeside, Cottonwood, and Kingman.
Southwestern Eye Center's medical staff includes a group of ophthalmologists with a diverse range of specialties. The full time staff provides expertise in the areas of cataract and implant surgery, treatment of glaucoma, diabetes management, corneal transplants, refractive surgery, medical and surgical retina, and laser vision correction. Southwestern Eye Center's optometrists provide care in general family practice optometry, diabetic eye care management, co-management of cataract care, and glaucoma care. Our optometrists work within the full scope of their Arizona licensure. Dr. Bluth believes that the combination of the two professions affords the patients a more comprehensive range of eye care.
There are 23 Southwestern Eye Center Locations in Arizona.
