About Us

In the four decades since Marion Eye Centers & Optical first opened their doors in 1974, they’ve grown into a multi-specialty ophthalmological practice providing comprehensive medical, surgical and optical services to the communities of southern Illinois and southeast Missouri. Known for their commitment to keeping pace with cutting-edge technology, Marion Eye Centers & Optical provides their patients with the skilled expertise necessary to treat every eye disorder and disease.

Founder Dr. M. Ahmad realized early on that in order for Marion Eye Centers & Optical to offer patients the highest quality, most effective treatments for their vision, it was imperative to have the latest technology in-house. As such, MEC maintains on the premises the most advanced lasers and diagnostic equipment available, putting them ahead of even the nation’s largest metropolitan area practices.
