Hunkeler Eye Centers

Hunkeler Eye Institute is a specialized ophthalmology practice and surgical center located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Established in 1973 by Dr. John Hunkeler, the institute has built a reputation as a leader in refractive and cataract surgery, being among the first to implement LASIK technology in the region. The center offers a wide range of services, including treatment for glaucoma, corneal disorders, dry eye syndrome, and aesthetic eye procedures. In 2021, Hunkeler Eye Institute merged with Vance Thompson Vision, a move that integrated its clinical expertise into a larger network of premier eye care providers. Today, the facility continues to serve patients with advanced diagnostic tools and surgical techniques under the Vance Thompson Vision brand.
