Black Hills Regional Eye Institute

Welcome to Black Hills Regional Eye Institute


At the Black Hills Regional Eye Institute when asked, “Who cares about your vision,” the response is “I care.”  Hundreds of doctors and patients count on the Eye Institute to provide the very best in diagnosis, treatment, consultation, surgery, research and education.  Eye Institute physicians and staff are honored to serve patients and are sincere when they say that the phrases “eye care” and “I care” have exactly the same meaning.

The Eye Institute is a forty-five-thousand-square-foot facility that houses a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center, laser/refractive center and world-class retina center. In addition, a low vision center helps patients with diminished vision maintain their independence and Optical Works provides the latest options in prescription eyewear along with an ocularist to help patients with prosthetic eye needs.

We serve patients in a five-state area including North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Montana.  Black Hills Regional Eye Institute doctors work with local physicians and optometrists in several satellite locations that provide convenient eye care for patients near their homes. The Eye Institute also serves the large Native-American population on the Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Indian Reservations.

Community education is provided through screenings for glaucoma, dry eye, and children’s eye disease.  Professional education is conducted for physicians, optometrists, and eye technicians.

“Visionary eye care. You’ll see”, is not just a slogan at the Black Hills Regional Eye Institute, it is the basis of the Eye Institute’s commitment to all patients.
