Cape Regional Eye Center provides advanced medical and surgical eye care in Dyersburg, delivering high-quality treatment close to home. Founded by Dr. Richard Cape in 1993, the practice specializes exclusively in eye health, offering comprehensive services including cataract surgery, diabetic eye care, glaucoma treatment, corneal transplants, laser surgery, dry eye treatment, and routine eye exams.

With state-of-the-art technology and an on-site ambulatory surgery center dedicated solely to ophthalmology, patients receive specialized care without the need to travel to larger cities. The practice also offers 24-hour emergency eye care, ensuring patients have access to urgent treatment when it matters most.

Continuing their commitment to innovation, Cape Regional Eye Center now offers the Valeda® Light Delivery System for dry macular degeneration, an advanced light therapy treatment that has shown significant results, with approximately 90% of patients experiencing 1–3 lines of improved vision at 20 months. They also provide the Light Adjustable Lens™ for cataract surgery, a cutting-edge technology that allows the lens power to be customized after surgery using specialized light treatments. This advancement enables highly precise visual outcomes, with many patients achieving excellent distance and near vision and reduced dependence on glasses.

Dr. Cape has been a trusted leader in ophthalmology in West Tennessee for decades, performing the first corneal transplant in the Dyersburg area and pioneering advanced surgical procedures locally. Known for professionalism, compassion, and individualized care, Dr. Cape and Dr. Courtney Cape Irvin work alongside a dedicated team focused on long-term vision health and exceptional surgical results.
