A Name You Know. Experience You Trust.

In 1978, Drs. Flavius and Joan Pernoud, a husband and wife team founded Pernoud Eye Institute with a commitment to provide leading-edge comprehensive eye care to their patients. That commitment continues today.

We stand out by providing experience, care, and comprehensive technology for our patients. Every patient can expect the best medical and surgical care; the same high level of evaluation and treatment we would provide for our own family.

Dr. Flavius and Dr. Joan are honored to have served the St. Louis area with ophthalmology services for over 30 years. Dr. Ishaq Chishti has added many years of retinal specialty to the practice. And, Dr. Cathy Phillips has added her expertise in general optometry and specialty contact lenses.
