World Leaders in Cataract, LASIK, Cornea, and Glaucoma Treatments in Bozeman, MT

This location offers refractive, cataract, glaucoma, and cornea care.

With the beautiful Bridger and Gallatin mountain ranges as a backdrop, our Bozeman clinic is as picturesque as it is state-of-the art. Currently, we call the upper level of the Montana Business Center home, and it’s where we see patients for consultations and post-surgery exams. Surgery itself is performed in the Bozeman Outpatient Surgery Center.

LASIK

LASIK, a laser vision correction procedure, reduces or even eliminates your need for glasses or contacts. Patients who aren’t candidates for LASIK may still experience freedom from corrective lenses with another laser procedure.

Cataract

Cloudy vision is a sign of cataracts, a condition that is treated surgically. Our world-class doctors can help you determine the best options to address yours. Some patients even experience less dependence on glasses after surgery.

Research at Vance Thompson Vision Bozeman

Supervised by Dr. Swan and supported by Vance Thompson Vision’s research department, the team in Bozeman actively studies glaucoma, cataracts, refractive treatments, presbyopia correction, and cornea disease. 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, Bozeman’s team is working on trials that, in the long run, will bring even more advanced care to their patients.

The Bozeman Team

The Bozeman team is led by Dr. Russell Swan, the board-certified ophthalmologist who oversees both of our Montana clinics. As a former corrective lens wearer, he appreciates how precious sight truly is and loves being able to share it with others. Dr. Swan brings his patients the most innovative, sight-saving technologies available, and because many travel to see him, he will work with your local provider to make post-surgery care convenient.

Dr. Swan works closely with his clinical partner, optometrist Travis Whitt. Along with the rest of the Bozeman team, they offer patients the best possible care, the latest advancements in technology, and a welcoming atmosphere to share their concerns and questions.

Everyone was so amazing, especially Dr. Swan. He made me feel really at ease and comfortable before, during and after my LASIK procedure. I was really nervous and he answered all of my questions. I am healing great so far and I am really thankful they are nice people like him in these positions to help people with their eyesight!!

The medical staff was so caring and thoughtful. I was filled with a lot of anxiety and the nurse, anaesthetist, and Dr. Swan addressed my needs and helped me to feel calm. The surgery went very smooth! I really appreciated the professionalism of the medical staff as well as the kind lady at the front desk! I would highly recommend Vance Thompson Vision!

Everyone from the receptionist, who offered coffee and asked to to vote on the best of Gingerbread houses made by staff members, to the doctor I met for the first time were kind and cordial.
