Mielcarek Eye Associates, located at the end of the trolley tracks in Media, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1978 by Lee Mielcarek, Jr., MD, a medical and surgical ophthalmologist, and his wife Eileen Dickson RN, a surgical nurse. Lee and Eileen met at the University of Pennsylvania at the Scheie Eye Institute, where Dr. Mielcarek served as Dr. Scheie's chief resident. Their professional practice and its staff of 17 provide eye examinations, glaucoma diagnosis and treatment, and modern no-stitch no-patch no-needle cataract/implant/astigmatism surgery.

Optometrist Dr. Ines Casado-Strine provides eye examinations and customized contact lens fittings.

With the closing of his previous office in Springfield, Charles Alexander, MD also joins our practice and brings with him his expertise in cataract and glaucoma detection.

Media Eye Works, a division of Mielcarek Eye Associates, is staffed by certified opticians Lacey Morgan, Sherry Heller, and Eileen Dickson, and optical assistant Heather Reed. It carries a wide variety of eyeglasses from practical to stylish, featuring brands such as Flexon, Polo, Timberland, and Nike.

Since 1988, Dr. Mielcarek has been providing refractive surgery and now offers the latest customized Wavefront LASIK procedure.

The Obagi NuDerm Skin Rejuvenation System and modern renewal procedures such as Restylane fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic are offered in Media, while eyelid tucks and cosmetic surgery are performed at Riddle Memorial Hospital.
