Since 1992, Dr. John Belardo has been proudly serving the communities of Oklahoma with the very best in cataract surgery. A pioneer in ophthalmology, he was the first surgeon in Oklahoma to perform “no stitch, no shot, no patch” cataract surgery—a technique that continues to set the standard for his practice today.
At his clinics in Oklahoma City, Chickasha, and Stroud, Dr. Belardo combines cutting-edge cataract surgery technology with the latest lens options to address a variety of visual needs. Whether you require correction for distance, near vision, or both, he offers advanced solutions including multifocal lenses and the Light Adjustable Lens.
Dr. Belardo is also a trailblazer in normal-pressure cataract surgery, being the first in Oklahoma to adopt this innovative technique. This approach reduces surgical complications and enhances patient comfort by eliminating the sensation of pressure inside the eye during surgery.
With over 30,000 cataract surgeries performed, Dr. Belardo is a recognized leader in his field. He has taught courses and lectured at national and international ophthalmology meetings. Trained at the prestigious Columbia Ophthalmology Department, Dr. Belardo has completed fellowships in corneal surgery and oculoplastics (facial cosmetic surgery). Dr. Belardo also has been on 9 international mission trips restoring sight for people in need.
In addition to cataract surgery, Dr. Belardo offers:
LASIK surgery at the LASIK Vision Institute.
Eyelid surgery, both medically necessary and cosmetic.
Glaucoma treatment, including the latest micro-invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS).
Corneal procedures like the advanced CTAK procedure as well as DSEK.
His goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care while using the latest advancements in ophthalmology to help you achieve your best vision.
