Keys of Quality Vision Correction

The decision to undergo vision correction surgery is a big one. When it comes time to decide who to trust with your vision, you deserve the very best that eye care has to offer. With so many options available, the choice of what is best for you can be overwhelming.

The key is to be informed about your options.

At Vance Thompson Vision, we’re here to make it easy for you. Our founding surgeon, Dr. Vance Thompson, participated in the original LASIK and PRK trials that helped turn LASIK into the revolutionary surgery that it is today. And we didn’t stop there.

Today, Vance Thompson Vision continues to stay on the frontlines of the latest innovations in vision correction technology. Our passionate team of specialists goes above and beyond to provide the best patient care possible. And, with over 200,000 procedures performed (and counting) our history of patient satisfaction is unmatched.

When it comes to choosing the right clinic for your vision correction surgery, there’s no clearer choice than Vance Thompson Vision.

Committed to Leading Edge Technology

Delivering world-class care requires two important ingredients: skilled hands and advanced technology. Together, they shape a positive outcome for your procedure. While our hands hold decades of experience, Vance Thompson Vision invests in state-of-the-art technology to match and deliver care that goes beyond expectations.

We offer all-laser, completely bladeless LASIK procedures that deliver unprecedented accuracy, consistent results and rapid recovery. Vance Thompson Vision has two of the industry’s latest Excimer Lasers: the VISX STAR S4 and the Wavelight EX 500. These are used in LASIK and PRK procedures to reshape the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, while ensuring that you receive the most precise procedure for your eyes.

If you’re not a good candidate for LASIK or PRK, we’re still dedicated to providing advanced technology solutions to help correct your vision. Our clinics offer the latest technology in implantable collamer lenses (EVO ICL), refractive lens exchange (RLE), and more. But it’s not just about providing the most advanced technology – it takes a skilled surgical team with ample experience to use it correctly and confidently to develop an individualized plan for your eyes.

A Locally Devoted Team

Our team of highly trained eye care specialists all grew up in the Midwest region. Today, many of us are now residents of Sioux Falls, Fargo, Boseman, Omaha, Alexandria, Northern Colorado, and more. Day or night, if you ever need to see one of us, we are here for you because of our passion to provide you with the best care possible.

Several of our surgeons and specialists serve on a variety of boards, perform research, author books, teach students, and work around the clock developing ways to improve eye care. A number of publications from data arising from VTV has helped shape and inform the practice of vision correction surgery across the globe. Further, our team members have invented numerous eye care products and technologies that are used by clinics all over the country – and have improved the industry standard of care:

• MKO Melt – An innovation in our Sioux Falls clinic that provides sedation during cataract surgery without the use of an IV or opioids

• Ocular Pressure Adjusting Pump - The first non-pharmacologic, non-surgical treatment for lowering IOP in glaucoma

• Interfeen – A rare disease drug that treats rare ocular surface neoplastic lesions

• GreenMan – VR simulator device to simulate range of IOL options before surgery

• astigmatismfix.com – A resource that has helped tens of thousands of surgeons eliminate residual astigmatism after cataract surgery

And these are just a few examples. Importantly, our services don’t end with the procedure. We encourage multiple follow-up visits between one day and two years after refractive surgery. Or, if you want to return to your regular optometrist for follow-up care, we collaborate with them to create a care plan that works for you.

History in the Making

Not only are we devoted to making historical advancements in ophthalmic technology, we’ve also done our research. We take what we’ve learned and find ways to improve technology and techniques for the modern age and beyond.

The studies our team participates in are incredibly safe; we only participate in studies that we feel comfortable performing on ourselves, our team, and our family members. Across all practices, our team participates in the full range of research studies with not only vision correction studies, but also studies in cataract, glaucoma, cornea, and dry eye. These trials allow us to provide early access to the latest treatments and devices and provide us doctors with firsthand experience of emerging treatments and devices to ensure we are doing what’s best for you when new treatment options become available.

By understanding the evolution of eye care and staying informed on future advancements, our doctors are able to make the best decisions for your personalized care.
