North Iowa Eye Clinic was founded in 1976 by Drs. Harry Alcorn, Addison Brown, and Michael Long. They wanted to create a center where North Iowans could receive state of the art care right in their community.
As our clinic has continued to expand, we've focused on providing up to date diagnostics and treatments to keep up with the latest technological trends. No matter how advanced our service becomes, we strive to provide professional, personalized care. We are constantly on the lookout to find new technologies that will benefit our patients and keep them seeing clearly.
