Our Story

Established in 1983, The Black Hills Regional Eye Institute, located in Rapid City, South Dakota, provides a variety of leading eye care services to thousands of patients. Although located in a rural area, the Eye Institute consists of several physicians whose knowledge and experience provides the five-state region with outstanding eye care for children and adults.

The Black Hills Regional Eye Institute prides itself in providing the best in diagnosis, treatment, consultation, surgery, research, and education. This forty-five-thousand square-foot facility houses a world-class retina center, state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center, and laser and refractive center. The Eye Institute is also home to a low vision center for patients with diminished vision and an optical shop.

The Black Hills Regional Eye Surgery Center provides same-day surgery on an outpatient basis. Their staff includes registered nurses and certified registered nurse anesthetists who specialize in ophthalmology only. Surgeries performed at the Eye Surgery Center include retinal, cataract, glaucoma, oculoplastic, anterior segment and corneal transplants. The Eye Institute has the most current, fifth-generation laser eye surgery system and is the only clinic in the region performing bladeless iLASIK with the iFS Advanced Femtosecond Laser.

The doctors at the Eye Institute use a comprehensive approach to eye care. Their subspecialties include retinal disorders such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract surgery, eye muscle surgery, eye plastic surgery, LASIK and other laser vision correction, and ocular inflammation.

Dr. Prema Abraham, Medical Director of the Eye Institute, provides services that normally would only be found in major metropolitan areas. She is the recipient of the “Best Doctors in America” award for the past decade and is the only physician in the region who dedicates her practice solely to the evaluation and management of vitreoretinal and macular disease and surgery. Dr. Abraham is one of the country’s leading principal investigators in retina clinical research in the areas of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retina vascular occlusive disease. The Retina Center offers the latest state-of-the-art technology for the diagnosis and management of retinal conditions.

Dr. Stephen Khachikian specializes in all forms of corneal transplantation and regularly performs refractive and cataract surgery including the use of toric and multifocal intraocular lenses. He has performed extensive clinical research in the areas of keratoconus, corneal topography and endothelial keratoplasty. Dr. Khachikian is the the only surgeon in the five-state region who surgically implants telescopes for macular degeneration.

Dr. Jorgensen joined us last month from Salt Lake City, UT where he obtained his medical degree from University of Utah School of Medicine after receiving his B.A. BS in Biology and Minor in Chemistry. His Medicine Internship was at University of Utah Medical Center and his Ophthalmology Residency at John A. Moran Eye Center. He is a fellowship trained glaucoma surgeon having completed his fellowship at John A. Moran Eye Center. Dr. Jorgensen is trained in all aspects of glaucoma and cataracts.

Dr. Scott Schirber, Laser Vision Center Director, provides all aspects of patient care, including the proper selection of laser vision correction candidates, planning surgical treatments with the surgeon, patient education and pre-and post-operative care. He specializes in contact lens fittings for those with keratoconus, corneal transplants and severe dry eye.

The Eye Institute is focused on the well-being of the community thus having several satellite locations in South Dakota and Wyoming. Locations served include: Gillette, Deadwood, Pierre, Spearfish and Sturgis. Black Hills Regional Eye Institute also provides preventative screenings about eye health to the public. The Eye Institute also hosts numerous educational seminars for other eye care professionals.

Black Hills Regional Eye Institute has been providing exceptional results for over 30 years.
