Diplomate American Board of Ophthalmology

W. SCOTT LOHNER, M.D. is extensively trained in ophthalmology and specializes in laser refractive and cataract surgery with over 5 years of experience performing LASIK. Having served thousands of patients with all types of eye diseases, he finds his greatest satisfaction by helping patients lose their dependence on glasses and in restoring vision that was previously lost. “We’re getting great results and with the advent of Custom treatments, things are getting even better!” said Dr. Lohner.

As a recipient of LASIK several years ago, Dr. Lohner knows personally what it feels like to experience the wonders of laser vision correction. “I love the opportunity now as a surgeon to help provide this same miracle to others. My experience stems from the patient’s point of view and the surgeon point of view which allows me to truly empathize with those who are contemplating making this significant change in their lives,” said Dr. Lohner.

"I was so impressed by Dr. Lohner, he made me feel so important."
