Your eyes and their care are as important and individual as you are. As part of our everyday philosophy of care, our eye doctors combine old-fashioned doctoring with an expert understanding of the latest developments in the ophthalmic field. The result is an intelligent approach to eye care that offers a wide range of innovative solutions to your personal eye care needs from the latest in eye glass and contact lens technology to the most advanced methods in refractive and cataract surgery, including implanting of lenses that help with up close vision. Dr. Kent is the first surgeon in Idaho to offer TECNIS® Symfony IOL to his patients. Symphony IOL lenses are the first and only presbyopia-correcting extended range of vision IOL.
