He earned his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., before attending medical school at University of Graz in Austria, following in his father’s footsteps.

During his senior year, he was selected Chief Resident at the VA Hospital and D.C. General Hospital. Following his residency, Dr. Evans pursued a fellowship in anterior segment surgery at the Kentucky Eye Institute, where he specialized in small incision “Rapid Recovery Micro Cataract Surgery” to better meet the needs of his patients.
Following his fellowship, he was invited to join the staff at The Kentucky Eye Institute, where he has been a partner ever since. Dr. Evans remains dedicated to the institute’s mission of providing state-of-the-art eyecare, extending services not only in Lexington but also to surrounding communities, including Paintsville, Morehead, and Mt.

Notice Only For Anthem Medicare Advantage Insurance Patients:
Dear Valued Kentucky Eye Institute Patient,
We want to make you aware of an issue affecting some of our patients who are Anthem Medicare Advantage members.
Recently, Anthem identified a credentialing error on their end that caused certain Kentucky Eye Institute (KEI) claims to be processed incorrectly as “out-of-network.” As a result, some patients may receive a letter from Anthem suggesting they seek care with another provider.
Please disregard any such letters. Kentucky Eye Institute remains in-network with all Anthem Medicare Advantage plans.
Anthem has already corrected the credentialing error on their end, and they are in the process of reprocessing all affected claims. No further action is needed from you currently. Our team is also actively monitoring the error with Anthem to ensure everything is appropriately resolved.
If you have received this letter and still have questions, please contact us directly at any of our locations: https://kyeye.com/locations/.
We’re here to support you and ensure your care continues without interruption. Thank you again for trusting Kentucky Eye Institute with your eye health.
Sincerely,
The Kentucky Eye Institute Team
