Vance Thompson Vision Bozeman takes pride in being world leaders in quality vision correction and setting global standards for excellent patient care in ophthalmology. We specialize in many forms of vision surgery and treatment with a specific focus on LASIK, refractive cataract surgery, glaucoma, cornea care, and oculoplastics.
Are things starting to look a little blurry or dim—even with your glasses on? You might be dealing with cataracts. Cataracts are a common part of aging, but you don’t have to live with cloudy vision. At Vance Thompson Vision in Bozeman, MT, we specialize in advanced cataract surgery to help you regain clear, vibrant sight.
A cataract happens when the clear lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, usually due to age. This cloudiness can make it harder to read, drive, recognize faces, or see clearly at night. Cataracts aren’t painful, but they can interfere with your daily life.
The only way to treat cataracts is with surgery—and thankfully, it’s a quick, outpatient procedure with a strong track record of success.

Cataract surgery at our Bozeman clinic is simple and safe. Here’s what to expect:
The cloudy natural lens is removed.
It’s replaced with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL).
The procedure usually takes about 10–15 minutes, and you’ll be awake and relaxed. Most people go home the same day and start seeing better within just a few days.
Cataract surgery isn’t just about restoring vision—it’s also an opportunity to reduce your dependence on glasses. We offer several types of lenses:
Standard lenses improve your vision but may still require glasses for reading or distance.
Advanced lenses can help you see clearly at multiple distances, often without the need for glasses.
Our Bozeman team will help you choose the lens that best fits your lifestyle and vision goals.
