A Regional Leader
in Dry Eye Relief
Known as a referral destination for dry eye care, Mulqueeny Eye Centers receives patients from across the St. Louis region, including referrals from other optometrists and ophthalmologists seeking advanced diagnostics and treatment planning.
As an Accredited TearLab Center, our team uses LipiScan™ imaging and TearLab osmolarity testing to identify the root cause of symptoms and guide care. Once diagnosed, we offer a full range of treatment options including Restasis® drops, EyePromise® EZ Tears supplements, and the TearCare procedure, a noninvasive solution for meibomian gland dysfunction.
More advanced cases may benefit from LipiFlow thermal pulsation or biologic therapies such as amniotic membrane placement. Every plan is personalized, and every treatment is backed by clinical insight and years of dry eye leadership.
Mulqueeny Eye Centers partners closely with cataract surgeons to provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care. We help patients understand their options, including monofocal, toric, multifocal, and light-adjustable lenses, and ensure they’re fully informed before surgery. All follow-up care is handled right here in our office, offering comfort, continuity, and trusted support throughout the process.
We provide ongoing care for patients with glaucoma using in-office OCT imaging and Humphrey visual field testing to track progression and tailor treatment. Most cases can be managed directly by our team, with surgical referrals made only when needed. Our goal is early detection, steady monitoring, and personalized care that helps protect your sight over time.
Scleral lenses can be life-changing for patients with dry eye, keratoconus, corneal disease, or other vision needs. As faculty in the UMSL contact lens department, Drs. Sean and Brendan Mulqueeny bring deep clinical insight to each fitting, ensuring that every lens supports clarity, comfort, and corneal health. We offer several leading designs, including Delta, SynergEyes iD, Jupiter, and Atlantis.
Mulqueeny Eye Centers provides proactive myopia management for children as young as four, using evidence-based treatments to slow nearsightedness progression. Options include orthokeratology (overnight lenses that gently reshape the cornea), low-dose atropine drops, and MiSight® daily soft contacts. With ongoing monitoring and expert guidance, we help parents track vision changes and support lifelong eye health.
