The clinic traces its history to 1981, when Dr. McFarland opened his first clinic in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. From those early beginnings, the practice expanded to include two surgery centers and additional clinics in Hot Springs and Little Rock. In January 1990, Dr. McFarland became the first eye surgeon to perform cataract surgery without using sutures, a technique known as "no-stitch" cataract surgery. At the time, other surgeons claimed the procedure was impossible, but Dr. McFarland continued the work and is now widely considered one of the nation's most renowned ophthalmologists. The Hot Springs location offers a symptom checker for common issues like blurry vision, dry eyes, and night driving problems, guiding patients to the appropriate specialist for a personal consultation.
