Research at Vance Thompson Vision Fargo

Supervised by Dr. Greenwood and supported by Vance Thompson Vision’s research department, the team in Fargo actively studies advancements in glaucoma, cataract, corneal disease, and presbyopia correction as well as refractive treatments. Their efforts to share study opportunities with patients and to help bring new treatments to market contributes to breakthroughs that improve vision and enrich lives.

Studies are ongoing and fall into two categories: sponsored clinical trials, most of which are FDA-monitored; or investigator-initiated trials, studies sparked by our doctors’ desire to understand an already-approved technology better. At any given time, Fargo’s team is working on trials that, in the long run, will bring even more advanced care to their patients.

December 30, 2024

Excellent personal and professional service. Dr. Risbrudt focused the consultation on my surgery on my life activities and values. His explanation of the vision and eye test results, cataract surgery options, and benefits of each to meet my vision wishes and goals was very thorough while remaining easily understandable. I felt very satisfied and at-ease with the entire experience. Incredible office facility in West Fargo, where cleanliness and professional appearance along with competence of staff only reinforced my trust in the Vance Thompson Vision team with my eye surgery.

Wonderful teamwork and respect for each other’s opinions. Four or five including two doctors stayed until 545 five to make sure I didn’t have a serious problem. Excellent quality all the way around. This was under Dr. Seth’s leadership at the beautiful new clinic in West Fargo.

Vance Thompson has some of the most thorough and thoughtful providers in Fargo. I had an eye check up with them and learned more about my lazy eye than any other vision center I’ve visited. They also took my dry eye symptoms seriously and were able to help me relive some pain the same day. I also completed a study with them and it was super easy, informative, and straightforward. When I moved they also sent me a personal gift to the city I was moving. The attention to detail and care goes above and beyond! Could not recommend more!

July 21, 2022

I can not touch my eyes or let anyone get near them. Vance Thompson made this cataract surgery was so easy for me. From the time you enter either building, you feel like a valued customer. They did a very thorough examination of my eyes and gave me a clear picture of where I was at and my choices to improve my sight. The days of the surgery went quickly and smoothly. I can not say enough about how thoroughly impressed I am with the team of professionals. I would recommend the Fargo office to anyone needing help with their sight.
