Meagan Anderson, OD

I was drawn to Kugler Vision because they are using the most advanced technology in the area to change patient’s lives through vision correction. Optometry school does a great job of teaching you about ocular health and glasses/contact lenses, but I wanted to expand my knowledge for patients where these options don’t work for them or those who want to have their vision corrected permanently.

What are you most excited about as a part of the residency program?

This year-long residency program will help me to specialize in the area of refractive surgery and be the best Optometrist I can be for my patients. In addition to refractive surgery, I will be able to expand my knowledge base in the areas of keratoconus, dry eye, and cataract surgery.

I love the collaborative environment between Optometrists and Ophthalmologists at Kugler Vision and I think it’s great that Optometrists have a role in the refractive vision correction process. It’s also great that I am able to use some of the most advanced diagnostic equipment to provide the best care for my patients. I am excited to be a part of the Kugler Vision team.
