Charlotte Ophthalmology is a leading Charlotte area eye center with over 40 years of experience.  Our physicians have helped thousands of people see better, look better, and feel better.  We are committed to excellence, and our patients turn to us for the best care available.  We believe in one-on-one patient interaction.  At our office, it’s not about the numbers…it’s about treating patients one at a time. 

Our physicians welcome patients for routine eye exams.  At this visit our experienced team of ophthalmic assistants and physicians will work together to check your vision, determine whether your vision could be improved with glasses or contact lenses and examine your eyes carefully with specialized technology for the presence of any eye conditions or diseases that might threaten your eyesight.  Many people do not realize that some conditions like glaucoma and retinal disease may create few or no symptoms, especially in the early stages of the disease.  Early detection of conditions like these allow for more effective treatment and a better prognosis.

Charlotte Ophthalmology Clinic invests in the latest laser, surgical, and pre-op testing equipment available.  Our physicians are always up-to-date on the newest treatments and technologies, all delivered with the personal care our patients have come to expect. 

Drs. Branner, Whiteside and Vaziri are our vision correction surgeons and physicians and Dr. Cook is our ocular and facial plastic surgeon.  They are among the most experienced and well-trained in the entire country.  Together they have performed thousands of surgical, cosmetic and vision correction procedures and work as a team to meet all of your eye care needs.  All are board certified by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and they have completed extensive training as eye surgery specialists and ophthalmologists.

Charlotte Ophthalmology is proud to be the only practice in North Carolina to offer Z-Vision™, the most advanced all-laser Lasik available.  This procedure combines the most advanced Ziemer femtosecond laser for more gentle creation of the flap with the precision and accuracy of true Custom Wavefront VISX technology to reshape the cornea and give a quicker recovery for your vision.  Our operative suite is constantly monitored to maintain strict humidity and temperature levels, which are imperative for the equipment to function properly.  Our laser technicians recalibrate our systems between each patient.  Dr. Branner, Dr. Whiteside, and Dr. Vaziri personally make sure your Lasik experience will be a positive, personal experience with the results you would expect from an expert in this field.
