Dr. Michael Parsons

Michael Parsons, M.D. has 10+ years experience as a United States Air Force Ophthalmologist, and has performed over 6,000 ophthalmic procedures. He has treated at Lackland Air Force Base (San Antonio, TX) and Wright Patterson Air Force Base (Dayton, OH), and his “20/20 vision or better” outcomes have been consistently better than 95%! This has resulted in service members literally traveling from both around the country and around the world to have their treatments done with him. During his deployment to Afghanistan, Dr. Parsons performed over 50 traumatic/humanitarian eye surgeries and was a member of the President of the United States contingency surgical team for his 2014 visit.

Dr. Parsons loves spending time with his wife and two children and in his free time, he enjoys mountain
biking, wrestling, jiu jitsu and has been a professional MMA gym owner, cornerman and trainer.
