Dr. Tucker's practice focuses on helping patients with cataracts regain their vision through a collaborative approach that incorporates each patient's input. He was among the first eye surgeons in Mississippi to implant a Light Adjustable Lens and, in addition to cataract surgery, performs LASIK, comprehensive medical and surgical glaucoma care including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and dry eye treatment.

The whole entire staff was very friendly and nice they explained everything that I would be experiencing during my visit with them and made me feel very comfortable.
I did not have to wait very long to be seen by the doctor. I was treated very well by all staff members. Excellent care by my physician.
My nurse Charlie and Dr. Tucker are great! I tell people all the time to go see my doctor! That he is the best doctor that I’m so thankful for him fixing my eyes so I could finally see again!! I never knew how bad my eyesight was until I could see again!
Very good experience. Dr. Nelson answered all my questions. Staff was very helpful and very courteous. We drove over 100 miles due to my nephew and next door neighbor praising the clinic. Glad I made the choice to take their advice.

I am very grateful for this gift.Thank you to all who had a part in making my dreams come true. It's just Amazing !
