Dr. Mills is absolutely amazing! My father has a very rare disease, and had a bunch of tumors that was totally obstructing his view out of one eye, Dr. Mills removed the tumors, and my dad looks like a new man. I cannot say enough good things about this doctor. He is absolutely amazing, and did an absolutely amazing job on dad’s eye. Thank you so much Dr. Mills, for giving my dad his confidence back.

A Friendly Team Making Eye Care Easy

I have always had a great experience here. I was referred due to an eyelid issue and since I have rosacea, but on my exam they found my Optic nerves were elevated . Dr Mayes is very thorough with the exams and took the time to explain everything to me. I tend to be more on the anxious side and after reading google I was pretty freaked out- but he put my mind at ease and made sure I knew exactly what the finding meant. The staff is always very friendly and helpful as well.

Dr. Mayes and the Staff were very friendly, professional and courteous. Everyone I talked with appeared to actually care about what I was saying and appeared to be very attentive to words spoken. Questions were asked and answered and there was very little room for miscommunication. I would definitely recommend Mills Eye + Facial Surgery to my friends and family.

Ophthalmology Services Spotlight
Together with optometrist Dr. Mayes, Dr. Mills is proud to bring advanced surgical care to Pensacola and the entire Gulf Coast like:
Dry Eye Treatment
Symptoms of dry eyes or blepharitis like gritty, burning, or stinging eyes can complicate daily tasks. Dry eye syndrome can undermine the surgical outcomes of cataract surgery. At our on-site Dry Eye Clinic, we feature Oasis Dry Eye products, as well as surgical treatments.
We use the latest technology to diagnose and treat this condition at the source. By optimizing the ocular surface before the procedure, our ophthalmologist can enhance your experience throughout cataract removal.
Recently, we invested in the LipiFlow® system, which gently and effectively treats dry eyes and other ocular surface disorders. We are one of the first practices in Florida to offer this technology, and we invite you to come in for lasting relief.
Cataract Surgery With Premium IOLs
Dr. Mills provides premium intraocular lenses (or IOLs) designed to replace your natural eye lenses and restore your vision following cataract surgery. He has extensive experience conducting the procedure, completing around 1,000 cataract surgeries a year.
Premium IOLs offer clear vision at all ranges without the need for contact lenses or glasses. They also allow you to minimize glare discomfort and see brighter, more vivid colors.
Our Pensacola, FL, team is at the forefront of cataract surgery and premium IOL technology. We proudly use AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® lenses—the first and only trifocal lens in the United States. The PanOptix lens offers enhanced vision at any distance and is available in a toric lens style to help patients with astigmatism. This lens is so impressive, that 99% of patients who have received this lens would choose the same brand again.
