(213)

After graduation he moved to Tahlequah to attend Northeastern State University (NSU). In 1995 he graduated with honors with a Doctoral Degree from NSU College of Optometry. He completed his internship at NSU and W.W. Hastings Hospital in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Upon graduation Dr. Kennedy moved to McAlester and joined The Warren Clinic where he has provided comprehensive eye care for over 17 years. Throughout his career at The Warren Clinic he has built lasting relationships with his patients by providing quality eye care and understanding his patients vision needs. In 2012 Dr. Kennedy decided it was time to open his own office and in November of 2012 he opened “KENNEDY EYECARE”. This move has allowed us to expand our business, provide a more comprehensive, pleasurable experience for his patients with all the latest technologically advanced equipment available anywhere. Our new location has allowed us to incorporate new technology to improve the care for our patients. The Optomap retinal camera allows us to examine the back of your eye without the use of annoying dilation drops. This also allows us to document any abnormalities and better monitor them for changes. The Cirrus OCT is a new, very high tech device that scans the retina, macula, and optic nerves of the back of the eye. This is used to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and many forms of retinal diseases. In most cases, this machine is detecting disease so early that we are able to prevent vision loss by early detection and treatment so that no visual loss or damage has to occur. These tests are very simple and take only a few seconds to scan the eye and produce the needed images, all while the patient simply looks at a flashing light for about 3 seconds. Another advancement is our new ability to test the pressures of the eye without having to use drops or air puff test.
