About Us
Our private OD/MD group is a medically focused eye care facility in beautiful Colorado Springs. Our doctors and staff are dedicated to delivering advanced, patient-centered care. Our practice emphasizes full-scope optometry, with a strong focus on the diagnosis and management of complex ocular diseases.
Our team performs in-office procedures, removal and treatment of chalazions and other eyelid lesions, including selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) for glaucoma treatment, and YAG laser capsulotomy for post-cataract surgery care. We are seeking a talented, relational experienced or residency-trained optometrist (ocular disease) to join our dynamic team. Here, you’ll be a valued provider and manage conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, optic neuritis, and diabetic retinopathy, as well as specialty contact lens fittings for our keratoconus patients. If the incoming Optometrist also enjoys seeing patients for dry eye, we can do that too and have the equipment/instrumentation needed for these patients.
