I have always been treated in a timely manner with no long waiting; everyone is friendly and knowledgeable about their part in my care, and I appreciate that they take the time to answer any questions I have and explain everything they are doing.
Dr. Jay Brown has gone the extra mile in restoring my eyesight, for which I am very thankful. He is not only very caring but also exceptionally talented. I will gladly recommend him to anyone in need of a retina specialist.
Being seen on such short notice, and having my emergency taken seriously, was greatly appreciated. Despite the extremely high tension, Dr. Propes and his staff were remarkably patient and understanding. His knowledge and precision in devising an aggressive treatment plan were highly respectable and favored by me.
Today's visit was just as pleasant and efficient as always. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the consistently professional care and kindness provided by the team at Mississippi Retina Associates. It is due to the expertise and dedication of the physicians, surgeons, and staff that I continue to have vision in each eye. I am forever grateful.
It was a very pleasant experience. I didn't have to wait long to be seen by both the staff and Dr. Brown. The staff were very friendly and took time to listen and respond to my questions.

Plan Ahead: 2025–2026 Holiday Closures at Mississippi Retina Associates
From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, we want to make sure you have plenty of time to schedule your care. Here’s a look at our upcoming holiday closures so you can plan ahead.
Healthy Aging Month: Protecting Your Vision as You Grow Older
As we age, the risk of vision loss increases—but early intervention can make all the difference. This Healthy Aging Month, learn the signs of age-related eye disease and how Mississippi Retina Associates helps protect your sight.
Want to protect your vision for the long haul? Start with your daily habits. A healthy lifestyle—like eating nutrient-rich foods, staying active, managing chronic conditions, and avoiding smoking—can lower your risk of vision loss from conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. It’s never too early (or too late) to start caring for your eyes. At Mississippi Retina Associates, we’re here to support your vision for life. #HealthyVision #EyeHealth #MississippiRetina

☀️ Sunglasses aren’t just a summer accessory—they’re essential protection for your eyes. Too much sun exposure can increase the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eye cancer. Choose sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat for extra defense. Protect your sight while you enjoy the sunshine! #UVProtection #HealthyVision #EyeCareTips #SunglassSeason #MississippiRetina #SunSafety #MacularDegeneration #CataractAwareness

✏️ Back-to-school season is more than just new supplies—it’s the perfect time to check in on your child’s vision. Healthy eyes are essential for classroom success, from reading the board to focusing on homework. If your child is squinting, struggling to concentrate, or complaining of headaches, it might be time for an eye exam. Let’s start the school year with clear vision and healthy habits. #BackToSchool #EyeHealth #PediatricVision #MississippiRetina #VisionMatters #HealthyVision #OphthalmologyCare #RetinaHealth

A sudden shadow in your vision? That could be more than just a trick of the light. Sudden flashes, new floaters, or a dark curtain creeping across your sight may be signs of a torn or detached retina—a serious eye emergency. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Immediate attention from a retina specialist can protect your vision. Early action saves sight.

School’s out. Screen time is up... and your child’s eyes might feel the strain. Too much time on phones, tablets, and games can lead to digital eye fatigue—even in young eyes. This summer, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. And don’t forget—summer is a great time to schedule that annual eye exam before the back-to-school rush. #HealthyVision #KidsEyeHealth #DigitalEyeStrain #SummerTips #OphthalmologyCare
