Dr. John Belardo
Experienced Cataract and Eyelid Surgeon – Now Serving Chickasha
Dr. John Belardo has been restoring vision and changing lives in Oklahoma since 1992. A board-certified ophthalmologist with specialized training in cataract surgery, eyelid surgery, and vision correction, Dr. Belardo is passionate about providing the highest level of care to his patients.
His extensive training includes a three-year residency at Columbia University, followed by a cornea and refractive surgery fellowship at the University of Rochester. Additionally, he completed an oculoplastic (eyelid and facial plastic surgery) fellowship in Texas and Michigan, refining his skills in both functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures.
Dr. Belardo has performed over 60,000 vision correction procedures, including thousands of cataract surgeries and eyelid procedures. He was the first surgeon in Oklahoma to perform "no stitch, no patch, no shot" cataract surgery, a technique that is now the standard for modern cataract surgery. His expertise also extends to minimally invasive glaucoma procedures (MIGS) and cutting-edge lens replacement surgery.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Belardo has taken his skills across the globe, participating in mission trips to Peru, Africa, and China, bringing the gift of sight to those in need.
Now, Dr. Belardo is thrilled to bring his decades of experience to Chickasha Vision Center, offering advanced cataract surgery, eyelid surgery, and personalized vision care to the community. When he’s not in the operating room, you can find him spending time with his three daughters or cheering on the OKC Thunder.
At Chickasha Vision Center, Dr. Belardo is committed to helping patients see their best with expertise, compassion, and the latest advancements in eye care.
