Why Choose our Indianapolis Eye Doctors?
Fellowship-Trained Ophthalmologists With Decades of Indianapolis Expertise
At Whitson Vision’s Indianapolis/Nora location, patients are seen by physicians whose credentials and tenure are difficult to match in the region. Dr. William E. Whitson is a board-certified, fellowship-trained cornea specialist, trained at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, who has practiced in Indianapolis since 1987 and has been recognized by an independent review panel as one of the most trusted eye surgeons in the world. Dr. Luis E. Colón brings board certification, experience in refractive cataract surgery, oculoplastic training from the University of Utah, bilingual care in English and Spanish, and a career that spans private practice in Indiana since 1993. Together they represent a depth of subspecialty expertise that most multi-location practices would reserve for a single flagship site, available here on East 86th Street.
Comprehensive Eye Care and a Dedicated Aesthetic Services Practice
Indianapolis/Nora is Whitson Vision’s most expansive location in terms of service breadth. In addition to the full menu of medical eye care (LASIK, cataract surgery with premium IOL options, glaucoma with iStent, macular degeneration, diabetic eye exams, dry eye treatment, and refractive lens exchange), this location is also home to the Rejuvenate aesthetic services suite. Patients can access IPL photofacials, RF microneedling, TriLift, ResurFX laser skin resurfacing, SmoothGlo, red/blue light therapy, facials, IPL-based dry eye treatment with Optilight, and more. It’s an uncommon combination: subspecialty ophthalmology and medical-grade aesthetics in a single practice, with providers who understand the anatomy of the eye and periorbital area at a clinical level most aesthetics-only studios simply don’t possess.
A Research-Active Practice That Shapes Tomorrow’s Treatments
Whitson Vision isn’t just a place to receive care, it’s a site where future care is developed. The Michael Washburn Center for Ophthalmic Research, LLC, operates out of this practice and has participated in national and international clinical trials covering dry eye therapeutics, Demodex blepharitis, presbyopia correction, and surgical IOL evaluation. Dr. Whitson’s involvement in FDA studies and investigational research spans his entire career. For patients, this translates directly into physicians who are current on emerging science and, in some cases, able to offer access to investigational treatments before they reach the broader market.
Convenient North Indianapolis Access for the City and Surrounding Communities
Located on East 86th Street in the Nora neighborhood, Whitson Vision’s Indianapolis location is easily accessible from across the north side of the city and surrounding communities. With extended weekday hours and a team spanning both ophthalmology and optometry, the practice accommodates everything from walk-in-ready annual exams to multi-visit surgical consultations. Financing options are available, and a patient portal makes managing records and communication straightforward. From a first eye exam to a LASIK consultation to ongoing medical management of glaucoma or macular degeneration, patients have a single, trusted destination for the long haul.
