AMAZING:I feel as if there are so many individuals who I want to write this review for, but above all else I would simply say if you are even THINKING about having your vision corrected, I would/have already HIGHLY recommend Brinton Vision to friends, family, and coworkers. See *** below for my experience.For the past 2 decades I have been wearing contacts and glasses. As I eventually found out, I had been over corrected and my vision worsened each year. At the time of my Brinton Vision consultation (July 2017), my vision was approximately -7.00 and -8.00 with a slight astigmatism in both eyes. I had been told from other LASIK consults that my corneal layer was too thin for the procedure, which Dr. Brinton and his team concurred with. I had been at this point in my life 5 years previous when civilian and Air Force doctors told me that corrective eye surgery was just not an option for individuals like me. It’s hard to describe why this was so devastating then and now. I am a very active spirit. I love to be in motion: kayaking, running, hockey, soccer, weightlifting, fishing, swimming, and essentially anything that takes me outdoors and up/out late is just who I am. If you can relate to anything you have read so far you know that glasses and/or contacts make all these activities harder. I am grateful because without them I would never been able to do these things but they also become a burden: You cannot get caught out without your contact cases or face the dreaded dry eye; contact solution is also a must; spare contacts/glasses, straps to keep your glasses on, and separate prescription sunglasses are also yearly considerations ( $$$) and so on. After a while you may have started to think that you are simply destined to have poor vision and/or eye health if you become lazy with your prescription for the rest of your life. This was a hard emotion to grapple with as a 2nd grader and even as an adult. My story is for all or any of you who can relate: There is HOPE. Unlike in years past, after being told LASIK was not a safe option for me, Dr. Brinton and his team of professionals told me I would make a solid candidate for the ICL or SMILE procedures and that they were optimistic they could correct my eyes even better than my glasses had been doing! There are a lot of qualified surgeons in the St. Louis and surrounding areas and you could definitely pursue those options if your budget or location makes those convenient as I once pursued. HOWEVER, if you want your journey to better vision to be done as thorough, efficiently, and as compassionately as possible, the first time, I can recommend none more qualified than Brinton Vision. They have the equipment, training, and compassion that supersedes all others I consulted with. You will feel their genuine belief that what they do changes lives for the better from the moment you walk in. I have never met a group of individuals who have come into my life so rapidly and just as quickly changed it so dramatically for the better. The team at Brinton will walk you through every step of the process until you know the science and reasons behind each decision to ensure you also KNOW why those decisions are being made. As an educator myself, I really appreciated this.***I went in for my consult on a Monday, met with Dr. Brinton myself that same day, and was having my vision corrected by the end of the week! Do not be mistaken, I did not feel like a number being crunched out: these appointments were long and we discussed much each time. My experience (SMILE procedure) was pain-free and was even considered a “tricky one” by Dr. Brinton! My vision the day of my surgery was approximately 20/400 in both eyes (legally blind). It has been about 15 days since my surgery and I currently seeing roughly 20/12.5 in both eyes with almost no dry-eye or irritation complications. It feels as if my overall vision is getting better every day I wake up and step outside. I know from experience and talks that money is probably the biggest reason we put off LASIK or corrective surgery but trust me, I am neither rich nor working with a large budget. However, financing was a breeze and is costing less than a car payment a month with no early pay-off fees. To this end, I would say that when it comes to a decision that is as big as your ability to see, make the wisest decision you can and think of the cost secondary so that you are happy with your results first and foremost. After all, they are YOUR eyes you will have to live with for the rest of your life. Whatever the reason you are hesitating to pursue corrective surgery, PLEASE rest assured, if you choose Brinton Vision, you will be in good hands. Going here has been liberating to my lifestyle and was handled with such unbelievable care. I discovered and made my decision to go with Brinton Vision through the overwhelmingly positive reviews found here online and so I hope my story also helps you gain perspective in whatever decision you make.P.S. To nerd out a bit, I recently took my eyes out for a stroll at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and was able to see with such magnificent color and detail, a pollinating bee on its hind legs slip off a flower petal. When it hit me that I was able to see this all happen from over 15 feet away, I actually cried on the spot and still get choked up thinking about it…Thank you to Chelsea, Nicole, Allison, Clay, Joey, Dr. Brinton and everyone at Brinton Vision for giving me that moment of unfiltered, visual freedom. You have changed my life!!!

The whole experience has been phenomenal. From the very first phone call, I felt as if everyone on the staff cared. The office is beautiful and relaxing, I especially love the the water feature. The staff was very professional and walked me through every step with explanations about every step. I was very pleased to get a quick consult appointment and the SBK procedure only a week later. Even though I was a little nervous and anxious the day of my surgery, everyone made me feel very relaxed. Dr. Brinton was great and very gentle during the actual procedure, explaining as he went so I would know exactly what to anticipate. It made me feel much more at ease. When I left the office, I felt as if I knew exactly what to expect with my recovery. I think it helped that both Clay and Nancy had had the procedure and coached me on everything I could expect. It was so exciting to be able to see right away as soon as I could start opening my eyes!!!! It reminded me of when I got glasses for the first time as a child! I am extremely happy with my new eyes!! I can't wait to resume the activities I enjoy that glasses and contacts hampered. THANK YOU BRINTON VISION!!!!!

From the flow of the consultation appointment to the attention to branding and follow up care, no medical practice I have ever encountered pays attention to the patient experience like Durrie Vision. Surgery of any kind is scary, but Dr. Brinton instilled a real sense of calm throughout the process. My results have been so good that I can't even believe I didn't do this sooner. I am telling everyone who will listen to go see Dr. Brinton and the team at Durrie Vision!

Went for yearly exam after refractive surgery. Everything was fine. It has been nothing but a great experience and maybe one of my best investments. Thank you so much

Dr. Brinton and staff examined my eyes thoroughly, and recommended the course of treatment that they thought best. The day of surgery went smoothly, and everyone was very professional. Their treatment was first class and the results were amazing.

My experience with Durrie Vision started in 1999, when I had Lasik. Since then, as I have gotten older and my vision changed, I have new hobbies which the FAA requires that I see where I am going. Thanks to Dr. Brinton I can do that. My vision at my last visit was 20/15 in both eyes. As a pilot you have to see things differently, so my eyes are set for me, vanity has no place in flying. The Durrie Vision staff, and especially Dr. Jason Brinton, is and are class acts.

Actually, the ASA was a year ago (7/9/13). On 7/8/14 I received a comprehensive follow-up exam. Aime was very kind, professional and patient with me. Dr. Brinton, as always, was very personable and explained everything well. I mentioned that my mother has glaucoma and expressed concern about it being hereditary. He showed me images of my eyes compared with someone with glaucoma to assure me that my eyes were healthy. The extra care and time he spends is very much appreciated.

My surgery couldn't have gone better. I had a fast recovery and my vision is very clear. Dr. Brinton was very calm and helpful throughout the process and surgery. I felt right at home there!
