Summary

Dr. John P. Belardo, MD, is an ophthalmologist and surgeon at the Advanced Laser & Cataract Center in Oklahoma City, where he helps adults see clearly again—often without glasses or reading glasses—through lens-based vision correction.

His focus is on helping patients who are tired of depending on glasses and contacts, or who are facing cataracts, find the right solution for their eyes and their lifestyle. That includes Refractive Lens Exchange (also known as Lens Replacement), premium cataract surgery with advanced intraocular lenses, and EVO ICL. For many adults over 45, Lens Replacement delivers lasting freedom from glasses and reading glasses while permanently eliminating the need for future cataract surgery.

Every recommendation starts with a conversation about how each person actually lives—their work demands, hobbies, and everyday activities—so the lens technology fits the patient rather than the other way around. Options include multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), toric, and the Light Adjustable Lens, which allows a patient's vision to be fine-tuned after surgery. Dr. Belardo's approach is unhurried and no-pressure: patients get the information they need to make the right decision for themselves.

The practice also offers comprehensive eye exams and medical management for:
  • Glaucoma
  • Dry eye
  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Macular degeneration
  • Blepharoptosis (droopy eyelids)
Dr. Belardo founded the Advanced Laser & Cataract Center in 2003 and has spent more than 20 years at the forefront of surgical technology and technique. He is board-certified and fellowship-trained in both cornea/refractive surgery and oculoplastic surgery, has performed more than 50,000 vision-correction procedures, and has completed more EVO ICL procedures than any other surgeon in Oklahoma. He was the first surgeon in the state to perform cataract extraction under topical anesthesia, has participated in cataract missions around the world, and lectures internationally on cataract, corneal disease, glaucoma, and oculoplastic surgery. The practice's in-office, state-of-the-art surgical suite serves self-pay patients as well as those with private insurance or Medicare.
