Dr. Joseph Morehouse

Dr. Morehouse is an ophthalmologist at Essentia Health, providing medical and surgical eye care to patients at the Duluth Clinic 2nd Street and St. Mary's-Superior Clinic. He treats a wide range of eye conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, dry eyes, eye infections, and more.

Dr. Morehouse believes in partnering with patients to understand their eye health. He encourages questions and motivation to improve outcomes. His care approach blends clinic visits with surgical procedures, offering comprehensive treatment for conditions affecting the cornea, retina, eyelids, and tear ducts.

A love of science and a desire to help people drew Dr. Morehouse to medicine, and his childhood nearsightedness sparked an early interest in ophthalmology. Outside the office, he enjoys biking, sea kayaking, and cross-country skiing. He advises patients to always wear eye protection during risky activities.
