Dr. Robinson and staff are so caring and so efficient! I am thrilled with my cataract surgery. Having worn Coke-bottle glasses since 2nd grade and then contacts, I now see more clearly than I did with either, despite my glaucoma! I went from about 20/600 to 20/15, almost overnight. Thank you with all my heart for this miracle of true vision!

It's so amazing not be dependant on my glasses for everything, from the simple things like reading my bedside alarm clock in the morning, to reading street signs in the distance while driving and playing sports without the hassle of readjusting my glasses all the time, or constantly cleaning them when my lenses get foggy.

If you are considering LASIK, you really have to go to Dr. Gary Foster at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado. He will provide you with all the facts about the procedure so that you are fully informed. He will then perfect your vision within minutes in a way that you never thought possible. Thank you so much Dr. Foster. You did an awesome job for me

Dr. Judy Fox, Family Medicine

My decision to have lasik surgery was motivated by a desire to be free of glasses while participating in outdoor activities. I delayed making the decision to have lasik surgery for years as I did not want to risk compromising my vision at work. I wish I would have had lasik years ago. My vision is now 20/20. I am amazed at how much more I see while out on a trail run. I can't wait to go scuba diving with my son this summer! Dr. Robinson and his team (Karen, Roisin, Krista, Linda, and Troy) provided excellent and personalized care from start to finish. the procedure was quick and pain free, and I was back to work the next day. I enthusiastically recommend the Eye Center for anyone considering lasik surgery.

I do alot of outdoor activities in Colorado and with the dry air, my contact lenses were almost unbearable at times. That led me to looking in having Lasik surgery. The process was smooth and convenient. Now I can enjoy my activities with clear vision and pain free.

Dr. David Sehr

I decided to get lasik surgery so I could avoid the need for glasses while participating in outdoor activities. I had my procedure done shortly before a trip to the alps. The procedure was brief and painless, and the recovery time quick. It was wonderful being able to admire the mountain views without the inconvenience of traveling and camping with glasses. I'm looking forward to a good ski season this winter. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'd recommend a lasik consultation with the Eye Center of Northern Colorado to anyone with vision problems.

LASIK

As a radiologist, my career depends on my vision. I had always wanted to rid myself of my glasses but was hesitant to take the plunge. After several of my partners had the procedure done and reported great results, I had my LASIK done with Dr. Robinson. After wearing glasses for 35 years, it is wonderful to be able to see the world without them.

The doctors and staff at the Eye Center provide the same quality you would expect from Poudre Valley Health System. I’m proud to say that my daughter Laura chose the Eye Center for her recent Custom Vue, iLASIK procedure. Going into the procedure, we were totally confident. The result .. 20/20 vision! Laura says iLASIK has changed her life.

Thanks to the Eye Center for providing quality care that a dad can trust.

LASIK

As an Emergency Medicine physician, excellent vision is critical to my work. However my decision to have LASIK was really driven by sports and the inconvenience of having to wear glasses. The combination of the iLASIK technology and confidence in (my brother) Dr. Karl Olsen's abilities, as well as some peer pressure from some of my partners in the Emergency Physicians of the Rockies who were already enjoying their LASIK vision from the Eye Center.

It was a fast, pain-free procedure and a quick recovery before I was enjoying my new (glasses-free) vision virtually the next day!

LASIK

"Absolutely Amazing" are words I use when describing my Lasik eye surgery experience at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado. The procedure was quick, painless, with immediate results. Dr. Foster and his staff were professional and thorough in their explanation of the procedure – both before and during the surgery. As someone who was nearly blind without corrective lenses, the freedom of not having to worry about carrying extra contacts in my purse or reaching for my glasses first thing in the morning is a great feeling. I highly recommend Lasik surgery and would look no place further than the Eye Center of Northern Colorado.

LASIK

In law enforcement, losing a contact or breaking your glasses at the wrong time can have serious repercussions. After the Lasik surgery, I no longer have to worry about losing my vision at a crucial time. My vision is great and that lets me concentrate on doing my job. Surgery at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado was an outstanding experience. Dr. Foster and his team were friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. When friends ask about my experience, I recommend the Eye Center with no hesitation.

Pediatric Eye Care

Our experience at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado has been extraordinary and has involved routine appointments, surgery and optometry.

Our seven year old son Mac became a patient of The Eye Center on Christmas Day 2004 when he accidentally cut his eye with a steak knife. He received prompt and expert care from Dr. Foster who repaired his eye during emergency surgery. Dr. Arnold took over Mac’s follow-up care and subsequent surgeries. His kind and warm manner put Mac at ease and filled us with confidence that Mac’s injury would have a bright outcome

Dr. Foster and his team performed a thorough evaluation of my vision and gave an excellent description of the procedure. Recently I was sailing in the Pacific Northwest and could spot navigation buoys literally miles away. The procedure has produced essentially perfect vision."

"Dr. Stevens has been my ophthalmologist for the last 25 years. He has provided me with accurate and up to date eye care. I recommend the Eye Center of Northern Colorado for my patient's eye care needs"

Contact lens

I have been a patient of Dr. Robinson for several years. Because of astigmatism my vision is best when using hard contact lenses. I am a difficult fit and, therefore, my relationship with the contact lens specialist is critical. Although the technicians who worked with me prior to Dr. Chaney's arrival at the Eye Center were very good, Dr. Chaney’'s knowledge and expertise as an Optometrist enable her to solve more challenging problems encountered while fitting contact lenses. The changes she has made with my contact lenses have resulted in profound improvements in both vision and comfort. Dr. Chaney is a treasure for patients of the Eye Center.

LASIK

"The staff and doctors at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado are amazing! I was a bit nervous about having Lasik, after all it was my eyes but the procedure was very quick and simple. After I was finished, I discovered I had nothing to worry about. I had perfect 20/20 vision the very next day after CustomVue Lasik. The results are quick, the procedure is simple and I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else. I trusted my eyes to Dr’s Foster, Olson, Robinson and Smith at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado and now I don’t have to hassle with contacts or glasses. Thanks to the doctors and staff at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado!"

"My life has improved so much since getting Lasik. Being in the dirt and dust takes a toll on your eyes, especially if you have to wear contacts. Now, it’s the least of my concerns. I can enjoy my horses, and rope without the worries that I used to have. It was a quick and painless procedure that was over before I knew it. I was seeing 20/15 that very day. I am grateful everyday to the Eye Center of Northern Colorado, they have truly changed my life. I have waited years to wear my cool shades again!! Thank you! "

LASIK

"I’ve been racing my entire life and have been fighting with glasses and contacts. When I decided to have LASIK, I shopped around and found that the Eye Center had the best technology and did not treat me like a number. The morning after my LASIK I could see the alarm clock for the first time in I don’t know how long. By the weekend, I was back to racing and could see so well …..I thought I was cheating!"

"Ten years ago I first met Dr. Randy Smith at the Eye Center. After our first meeting, I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and background, and chose Dr. Smith for Lasik surgery. Dr. Smith and the team at the Eye Center did a great job! The procedures and follow up were highly professional – my results were fantastic. LASIK surgery at the Eye Center changed my life. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Randy Smith and his team at the Eye Center to anyone interested in LASIK surgery."

Cataract Surgery/ Multifocal IOL

I recently had cataract surgery at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado and could not have been happier about the attention I received and the results of my procedure. I elected to receive the multi-focal lenses which has given me excellent vision at all vision ranges and eliminated need for glasses. I can watch TV and read a book or the newspaper without glasses! Friends ask me about my new sight and I explain that I have"high-definition eyes" now.

"Having worn glasses since I was ten and contact lenses for forty-two years, I find my vision since cataract surgery and ReZoom lenses a bit of a miracle. The procedure was painless with very little discomfort afterward. Not only is everything bright and clear, I no longer have to worry about wind and dirt under the contacts. For someone who was severely nearsighted, it is amazing."

"Having iLasik at Eye Laser Center is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I can’t believe how quick the procedure was and the Doctors and staff where incredibly kind and reassuring. By the next morning, I was already seeing 20/10 and I was even able call a hockey game later that night! I would recommend iLasik at Eye Laser Center to anyone who wants to change their life for the better."

iLASIK

I am a volunteer rescue swimmer and diver, so seeing what I am doing can be a life saver! Before I had my I-Lasik surgery at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado, I literally couldn’t see the big “E” on the chart without contacts or glasses. Now I have 20/15 vision! Glasses have always been a nightmare for me, and contacts can be trouble in the water, so count me as one more person for whom the Eye Center made a life-changing difference!

Dave Dennis, Volunteer Rescue Diver

iLASIK

"When I had to feel my way down the ski mountain after I blinked away both contacts, I realized that iLASIK was a good idea for my safety. I had been reluctant because my vision was well corrected with a combination of eyeglasses and contact lenses for analyzing thousands of medical images per day. With the combination of iLASIK technology, trust in Dr. Foster, and the skilled Eye Center of Northern Colorado staff, my outcome exceeded my expectations."
