Kilgore Vision Center, founded in 1992 with three employees, expanded to Harrison in 1998. New facilities at both locations were constructed with adjoining ambulatory surgery centers and optical shops in 2002 at Harrison and 2006 at Mountain Home. Kilgore Vision Center continues to grow, employing more than 40 people.

Each Kilgore Vision Center has additional staff including certified ophthalmic assistants, certified ophthalmic technicians, licensed opticians, and certified opthalmic coding specialists. HSC Surgery Centers employ a full staff of registered nurses, scrub techs, and office staff.

Kilgore Vision Center uses state of the art equipment to meet the needs of the patients, for example: IOL (intraocular lens) Masters are used in preparation for cataract surgery; fundus photo digital cameras are used in examination for macular degeneration and glaucoma; and OCT (optical coherence tomography) equipment analyzes nerve fiber layers in the eye for glaucoma and advanced diabetic patients.
