Mississippi Vision Correction Center

Due to the storms that passed through last night Mississippi Vision is without power this morning. We do not yet have an update from Entergy as to when it will be restored. If you have an appointment we will call you to reschedule, as soon as we have power back to operate our phones and systems. If you are having an emergency call the office phone number at 601-969-1430 so that the answering service can direct you to the on call physician

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved founder and eyecare visionary, Dr. William Mangum Aden. Dr. Aden dedicated his professional life to ophthalmology, earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi in 1966 and his medical degree from the same institution in 1970. His pursuit of knowledge continued with residency and fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine, shaping him into the exceptional physician we knew and admired. A distinguished career in private practice, memberships in prestigious organizations, and board certification in ophthalmology reflected his unwavering commitment to excellence. Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Aden was known for his warm and compassionate nature, touching the lives of countless patients and colleagues. He was also a scratch croquet player and enjoyed sharing the game with family and friends.

As we mourn the loss of our founder, mentor, and friend, we remember the indelible mark he left on Mississippi Vision and the entire eyecare community. Dr. Aden's dedication to patient care, professional excellence, and kind-hearted nature are the heart of Mississippi Vision’s mission, and we are honored to continue the legacy he began. May Dr. William Aden’s memory continue to inspire us to uphold the values and standards he held dear.

Mississippi Vision will be closed Monday, October 9, 2023 in memory of Dr. Aden and to allow our team the opportunity to mourn with his family.

We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Professional Basketball Player Max Strus, offering him a competitive edge to his game through EVO ICL - a new FDA-approved implantable lens that corrects distance vision – without causing dry eye syndrome. He’s now kicking off the new season with 20/10 (which is better than 20/20!) vision! Important Safety Information The EVO Visian ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.0 D up to -20.0 D and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses. To determine if you are an appropriate candidate for EVO Visian ICL surgery, you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about potential benefits, risks, complications, and recovery time. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts. You should NOT have EVO Visian ICL surgery if 1) your eye shape is not appropriate; 2) you do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age; 3) you have moderate to severe glaucoma; 4) your vision is not stable; or 5) you are pregnant or nursing.
