We are proud to have nationally recognized eye doctors serving both locations in Northeast Florida. Barnhorst Eye Associates offers both traditional and laser cataract surgery to patients. Prior to surgery, the eye doctor will perform a thorough exam of each patient's cataracts, eye health and overall health.

At the Barnhorst Eye & Laser Center's new Nocatee location, we offer a brand new, state-of-the-art LASIK and refractive surgery suite with the Wavelight Refractive Surgery Suite lasers. We perform the latest all-laser LASIK using the latest technology. LASIK Eye Surgery may be the best procedure for one individual while PRK or LASEK may be a more favorable procedure for another.
Would your career or business activities improve if you were to become less dependent on glasses and contacts? Over 98% of LASIK eye exam patients see 20/40 or better after surgery. The results of LASIK laser vision correction have been tremendous for literally millions of people. Despite the amazing safety and results of this procedure there are associated risks.
As a fellowship-trained cornea specialist, Dr. Barnhorst is on the leading edge of dry eye treatment. While doing his cornea fellowship training at the Eye and Ear Institute at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Barnhorst worked with Dr. Gary Foulkes, one of the country's leading dry eye experts. Dry Eye Syndrome is a condition that occurs when there are insufficient tears to lubricate and nourish the eye.

Very happy with my eye care at Barnhorst. I really like Dr. Balo. She made some changes to my prescription and lens brand, which I've had for many years, and it was surprisingly for the better. For that, I will be a loyal patient of hers! All of the staff is incredibly nice here too. Beautiful facilities. Highly recommend.

First, they did not recognize the appointment I had with them, even though I had an email confirmation from them. After that, even though they did not take my vision insurance, they confirmed that they could charge my health insurance for the eye exam, which I found a bit odd, but they insisted that this could be done. Finally, they send me a bill for (another) $225. No idea where this charge comes from, maybe my health insurance company rejected their claim and now they try to get that money from me, even though they said it would only be a $20 copay. Pretty sure it is illegal to quote one price
