Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
Actively supporting research to prevent blindness, Dr. Bowers was honored as one of LaserVision’s Top 100 Surgeons and as one of America’s Top Ophthalmologists. Furthermore, she has been repeatedly voted Best Ophthalmologist by the Paducah Sun’s Readers’ Choice5, and has received awards such as the Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2016), Patients’ Choice Award (2018), and On-Time Doctor Award (2018).
