We only get one pair of eyes, so it’s important to take good care of them. What you eat can affect your vision as you age. Supplement your diet with Vitamin C, antioxidants, zinc, beta-carotene, and vitamin E to reduce the risk of developing serious Age-Related Eye Disease. Try out this Spinach Salad recipe – it’s a family favorite from a Gailey Eye Clinic employee with homemade dressing! Spinach and tomatoes are loaded with antioxidants and tomatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin C.
Gailey Eye Clinic marked its 75th Anniversary by holding a Community Outreach Event May 13th and 14th. During the event, four patients referred by the Community Health Care Clinic (CHCC) received free cataract surgery at Gailey’s state-of-the-art surgery center, Bloomington Eye Institute. An additional ten patients received free vision exams at Gailey’s Main Street location in Bloomington. Dr. Ara Aprahamian and Dr. Robert M. Lee, along with a team of medical technicians, nurses, anesthesiologists, and administrative staff donated their time and experience to provide the gift of sight to those in need.
To further celebrate Gailey’s 75 years in eye care, physicians and staff enjoyed an open house celebration on Saturday, May 14th. Retired Gailey physicians and several original patients of Dr. Watson Gailey shared great memories about Gailey through the years. These memories began in 1941 when Dr. Watson Gailey opened the clinic at 1008 N. Main Street in Bloomington. What started as a one-man venture has grown into a prominent practice with 16 doctors, 14 clinic locations, 2 surgery centers, and over 275 employees.
It is an honor to serve so many communities throughout central Illinois and we look forward to serving for many years ahead.

Gailey Eye Clinic is now 1 of only a handful of clinics in the United States with the iDesign Wavescan system! The same blade-free technology that NASA and the U.S. Military have approved for Laser Vision Correction on pilots and astronauts, professions highly dependent on excellent visual acuity, is now available to Gailey Eye Clinic patients in central Illinois. No two eyes are alike, not even one person’s two eyes. The iDesign allows us to capture the detailed map of each eye and translates this information into specific treatment instructions for each patient. Through the use of the iDesign, we may provide a broader range of vision correction. Also, its ability to map the surface of irregular corneas, greatly expands the number of patients that may qualify for Laser Vision Correction.
From pre-operative testing to post-operative care, our experienced team of surgeons and technicians provide personalized care like no other LASIK team in central Illinois. We are here to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and answer any questions you have.
Laser Vision Correction FAQs:
What is iLASIK? It is a blade-less, outpatient surgical procedure that uses a laser beam to create a corneal flap and reshape the surface of the cornea to improve vision for patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
How much does it cost? That depends on several factors, including the type of procedure and the insurance coverage that you have. It is best to set up a complimentary consultation with Gailey Eye Clinic’s Laser Vision Correction coordinator to get those answers.
Is there a discount for VSP or EyeMed? Yes, 15% discount for either plan.
Is LVC covered by insurance? Very few policies cover Laser Vision Correction, but our LVC counselor would be very happy to look into that for you and even discuss payment plan financing options.
How long does LASIK take? Your entire procedure will last less than 30 minutes!
Currently, Gailey Eye Clinic is extending our promotional price for Laser Vision Correction through the end of 2015! With this discounted price, patients may receive Laser Vision Correction for nearly $1,000 off regular pricing. Schedule your LVC screening with Ray today, to take advantage of this great offer and budget Laser Vision Correction into your 2016 Flex spending.
