James E. Lusk, M.D.
Not many cataract surgeons have had their own vision restored through cataract surgery. That’s just one of the factors that sets cataract & LASIK surgeon, James Lusk, MD, apart from all other eye surgeons in the region. And the fact that his two sons, Bryan Lusk, MD, and Jeffrey Lusk, MD, were the eye surgeons who performed his cataract surgery tells you everything you need to know about the Lusks — for them, it’s all about family.
The Lusk boys and their father actually have a history of restoring each other’s vision: earlier in his career, Dr. James Lusk corrected Bryan & Jeffrey’s vision with LASIK. As the founder and original medical director of Lusk Eye Specialists, Dr. James Lusk brought his advanced training in cataract, refractive, and corneal surgery to the Ark-La-Tex more than three decades ago. Since then, Dr. Lusk and his sons have been setting the eye surgery standard for all others to follow.
In fact, nothing makes Dr. Lusk happier than spending time in the practice with his two ophthalmologist sons, treating their patients like part of the family… the only thing that comes close for him is spending time in the woods, hunting and fishing, with his two boys.

Hello! I have to be the happiest eye patient on the planet. I had my second eye surgery yesterday and now have perfect 20/20 vision. Actually my vision is better than perfect thanks to the High Definition lens Dr. James Lusk gave me. The world is so beautiful and bright. I can even drive at night! Dr. James Lusk, you are an amazing doctor! My husband and I thank you for changing my world. You are our hero!

Very good service, awesome people and best eye doctors ever! Had Verisyse eye surgery (implanted ‘contact’ lens basically) 2 years ago and received excellent care. Would recommend to anyone having any kind of problems with their eyes. It’s amazing what they can do. Dr. James Lusk is the best eye doctor I have ever been to see and I have seen several in my 46+ years. Thank you all.
I could not be happier with my results so far!
