The practice of Ophthalmology specializes in the diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical care of diseases and conditions affecting the eyes and visual system. Ophthalmologists deliver total eye care and are uniquely trained to provide management of medical eye diseases and are surgical experts who can perform laser procedures, and microsurgery. As specialty-licensed medical professionals, ophthalmologists have a minimum of eight years of medical training.
At Colorado Mountain Medical, we care for patients with cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, dry eye, eyelid disorders, injuries, and many other conditions affecting vision and eye health. Our practice combines comprehensive ophthalmic care with advanced surgical expertise. While we provide routine and medical eye care, we also focus on surgical ophthalmology, including cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange, premium lens implantation, LASIK and refractive surgery, glaucoma surgery, and other vision-restoring procedures.
The Ophthalmology clinic at Colorado Mountain Medical is fully equipped with extensive technology to detect, diagnose and treat most eye conditions. Additionally, we have ophthalmic lasers for many eye procedures in the clinic in Avon. We also provide most intraocular surgeries in the surgery center in Edwards.
How does insurance work?
At our ophthalmology practice, we bill medical insurance for visits and treatments related to eye health and medical conditions affecting the eyes, such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes-related eye disease, infections, injuries, and other medical concerns. We do not participate with vision insurance plans, which are typically used for routine vision exams and eyewear benefits. If you have questions about your coverage or whether your visit qualifies for medical insurance billing, our team is happy to help before your appointment.
We specialize in the following:
- Cataract surgery and refractive cataract surgery
- Refractive lens exchange
- LASIK
- Glaucoma detection, treatment and surgery
- Comprehensive eye exams
- Diagnosis and management of ocular diseases
- Dry eye evaluation and treatment
- Diabetic retinopathy management

- Laser procedures
- Minor eyelid surgeries
- Pre- and post-operative care
We work closely with optometrists and primary care physicians throughout the region to provide coordinated, patient-centered care. Many patients are referred to us for surgical consultation, specialized treatment, or co-management of eye disease and post-operative care. We value these collaborative relationships and strive to provide timely communication and continuity of care for both patients and referring providers.
