Services
Kearney Eye Institute provides a full spectrum of services to enhance vision and promote ocular health. We combine a technologically advanced facility with comprehensive and compassionate care to deliver quality results. We are committed to assisting patients to reach their best possible vision through all stages of life.
Kearney Eye Institute continues to advance vision outcomes by implanting a first-of-its-kind cataract lens that provides patients the opportunity to reduce their need for glasses and contact lenses, even for close-up vision. Ophthalmologist Thomas J. Clinch, M.D., recently placed Nebraska's first Acrysof IQ Vivity intraocular lens (IOL) by Alcon during cataract surgery.
Kearney Eye Institute is a complete eye care facility where we can take care of a wide range of eye problems. Whether you simply need a change in your glasses or contacts, or you are interested in cataract surgery, we can take care of all your medical and surgical eye care needs. Listed below is just a little information on several eye-related topics.
When ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses cannot provide adequate sight, an individual is said to have low vision. This condition should not be confused with blindness. People with low vision still have useful vision, which can often be improved with aids. Although most often experienced by the elderly, people of all ages may be affected by low vision.

This place does not put records in properly. They do not put in the proper dates. I had four children that I took in for eye exams on the exact same day, made sure last summer all four of my children had glasses for the following year of school and now I'm being told that they didn't see the eye doctor until late in August. There is absolutely no way that this took place late in August as they had already started school.

All four of my children had brand new glasses before they started school last year. Because they put their records in improperly in accurately and just blatantly wrong now my children will not have a new glasses for this year for school.

The doctors here are great do a wonderful job. But the billing department does NOT file with your insurance. I call and asked if they filed all my policies. She said they did but could only provide two proofs and I have three insurance policies. Tried to call again left message will not return my calls. They just keep sending out the same bill.

Dr. Williams was amazing. Very smart, gave alot of information and was super calm and really just comforting. The only downfall was not being told about the blurred vision after dilation of the eye.

Was a little bit unorganized at check in with 3 gals and they could only help one of us at a time? Plus the Dr was behind schedule possibly because of check in inefficiencies. Dr and Assistant were very thorough and he explained and anserwed all of my concerns. Also, very welcoming. I chose to get my frames at Wally World because the prices were a bit higher and I required all the added lens featured so wanted to save as much as I could to cover those costs. Overall, nice place and clean! Thank you!

Dr. Craw is so amazing and thorough. He corrected my previous prescription from a different doctor and performed extra steps to ensure the best outcome. I appreciate the time he takes to make sure I can see. That extra attention makes all the difference.

The staff is extremely helpful and polite, I was moving slowly because of needing a walker due to a leg issue. The staff was accommodating towards my needs and made me feel good about my visit. The checkup was very through as usual and I really appreciate that tremendously. I don't have much to say except Thank You!

Great service. Very professional. Great Drs. and technicians. Will drive to the Institute in Kearney, which is about a 300 mile around trip for my husband and I but we are so pleased with the service that we gladly make the trip.

I was very disappointed when dealing with the person who checked me in for my appointment. She was very rude and judgemental about my insurance status and because I did not understand all the ins and outs about it. I would give this a one-star rating if it wasn't for the wonderful care I received from the techs and doctor.

The staff had a lot of patience with my 6 year old granddaughter. She is a handful. They were very calm. The doctor was awesome with her also. I highly recommend this place

Thank you Dr. Clinch and entire staff. I truly appreciate the way I was treated during my two cataract surgeries this past week! Not only did I feel so at ease there, my vision is fantastic! I can watch TV without my glasses which hasn't happened in over 40 years. Each and everyone of you not only acted so professionally but in such a warm and caring manner! Once again, THANK YOU and may God bless you all!

They work quickly and stay rather busy but they're efficient! Dr. Kohl had great bedside manners and answered all of my questions and then some! I'd send my friends for sure!
