General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
Rebecca D. Nichols, O.D., specializes in comprehensive family eye care, including contact lenses and the diagnosis and management of eye diseases, with a special interest in pediatrics.
Primary Care
Dr. Nichols received his undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas. He graduated from optometry school at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago where he was awarded the Council on Ethics Professionalism Award. He also completed a residency in primary care and ocular disease. He was an assistant professor at the Illinois College of Optometry and a clinical associate at the University of Chicago Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences before entering full-time private practice.
Emergency Care

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Myopia is a condition of the eye that usually develops overtime, often in childhood, in which the eye elongates, causing blurry distance vision. Thanks to modern medicine, there exists successful treatments that can help halt or slow the undesired growth of the eye responsible for blurry vision. By addressing myopia at a young age through these treatments, we can also help prevent more serious ocular diseases such as degenerative myopia, glaucoma, and retinal tears or detachments.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Ketcherside received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Missouri. His ophthalmology residency was performed at the University of Virginia after which he completed his training with a Fellowship at the renowned Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute at the University of Colorado. Dr. Ketcherside’s extensive training was focused on cornea and refractive surgery. His practice custom tailors every surgical procedure to individual patient needs.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the deterioration of the part of the retina responsible for central vision and fine detail, called the macula. The macula only makes up a small part of the entire retina, but it is what allows you to read fine print, thread a needle, and read street signs. There are two types of macular degeneration, dry and wet. Most people who have macular degeneration, have the dry form. There is not any current medication or treatment for dry macular degeneration, but some people may benefit from vitamin therapy. About 10 percent of patients with macular degeneration, develop the wet form. The wet form occurs when new, abnormal blood vessels begin to grow underneath the retina and leak fluid or blood. The earlier wet macular degeneration is treated, the better chance the patient has of preserving the central vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
SMILE is the latest in laser vision correction for myopia (nearsightedness), providing LASIK-like outcomes in a minimally-invasive procedure. A laser is used to create a thin contact-lens-shape layer just beneath the surface of the eye and then the laser makes a small opening through which that layer is removed, correcting your vision. Worldwide, over 750,000 SMILE procedures have been performed by more than 1,000 surgeons. And these numbers continue to grow every day! In fact, SMILE is the fastest growing laser vision correction surgery in the world.
Cataracts
In order to remove the cataract, it must first be broken up into smaller pieces. During traditional surgery this is done by inserting an ultrasonic device to break up the cataract. During laser assisted surgery, less energy is applied by the laser to break up the cataract into smaller pieces.
Cataract Surgery
Laser assisted cataract surgery is now available as a surgical option at the Kansas City Eye Clinic. Traditional cataract surgery has been performed effectively and safely for decades and is still a great option for many patients.
Eye Exam
Eye infections, injuries, or previous surgery on the eye can cause corneal scarring. Different options, surgical and non-surgical, may be available depending on your diagnosis. A thorough eye examination by a corneal specialist can help you determine what treatment or option is best for you.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Bodker received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa, and his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. He completed an internal medicine internship at Northwestern University, and an ophthalmology residency and an ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the University of Illinois at Chicago under the direction of Dr. Allen Putterman. He was accepted for membership in the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, an honor society of approximately 450 surgeons, in 1996. One of the few fellowship-trained plastic and reconstructive eye surgeons in Kansas CIty, Dr. Bodker is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is another complication from diabetes and uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Early damage is usually asymptomatic, so it is highly recommended to get yearly dilated eye exams with your optometrist or ophthalmologist for early detection and treatment to limit visual loss and permanent damage. There are two types of diabetic retinopathy; nonproliferative and proliferative. Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) is the most common form. This occurs when small blood vessels in the eye begin to weaken causing microanuerysms to form and leak fluid into the retina (the film of the eye that produces the images that we see). There are different stages of NPDR; mild, moderate, and severe. Treatment at these early stages is usually diet, exercise, and medications as needed to control blood sugar levels. The more advanced stage of the disease occurs when these blood vessels begin leaking higher amounts of blood and fluid into the retina. The build up of fluid in the retina and macula (central vision) can cause macular edema (swelling) and is the most common cause of vision loss in diabetics. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy occurs when the blood vessels in the eye begin to close off and the retina and macula cannot get enough oxygen. As a result, vision decreases and new, abnormal blood vessels begin to form which are leaky and can result in vitreous hemorrhages and retinal detachments.
