General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
Dr. Petersen is a member of the Utah Ophthalmology Society, and has served as a board member as well as president in 2013. He is an active member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology.
Primary Care
During her optometric externships, she provided care to the Gila River Native American Community at Hu Hu Kam Memorial Hospital in Arizona where she specialized in pediatric conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia; as well as an abundance of ocular disease. She also provided services in primary care, contact lens, ocular disease, low-vision, vision therapy and pediatrics to primarily low income residents of central Los Angeles at University Eye Center Los Angeles. Dr. Ng was offered an ocular disease residency at the Southern Nevada Veterans hospital where she dove into the nuances of treatment and management of ocular diseases.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States. It encompasses a group of conditions that can result in optic nerve damage. This damage causes loss of sight, even complete blindness.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Jeppsen returned to Utah after enjoying eight years of medical and ophthalmic surgery training in Wisconsin. He regularly expresses how much he loves working in the challenging, nuance filled specialty that is Ophthalmology. Rocky Mountain Eye Care Associates, where compassionate, high quality, and cost conscious medical care is emphasized, is the perfect place for him to practice. While seeing patients, he has been known to talk about time spent on his Grandpa’s ranch, his mission to Chile, any of his children, youth sports – particularly soccer, gardening, wood carving, music, the challenges of parenting, the great outdoors, etc. Those at Rocky Mountain are experts at keeping him on task.
Macular Degeneration
Contrast sensitivity chart test is the most widely used contrast sensitivity test in the world. This test provides for four (4) rows of sine-wave gratings. At the recommended test distance of 8 ft (2.5 meters), these gratings test the spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12 and 18 cycles / degree (CPD). The CSV-1000E provides a full contrast sensitivity curve, which is very useful for the evaluation of ocular disease (particularly cataracts, glaucoma, optic neuritis, diabetes and macular degeneration), contact lenses and refractive surgery. For cataract evaluation / documentation, a functional acuity score can be obtained directly from the test scoring sheet.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK corrects myopia (near sightedness) hyperopia (far sightedness) and astigmatism to improve vision without glasses or contact lenses.
Cataracts
The eye is like a camera and uses a lens to focus. The natural or “crystalline” lens of the eye is located behind the iris. To function properly it needs to be clear and free of opacity. When the lens is not clear we call this a cataract. The most common cause is that of aging. Injuries may also cause cataracts. Diabetics are prone to cataract formation due to abnormal sugar metabolism. Cataracts may also be genetic and occur in families.
Cataract Surgery
Fuch’s corneal dystrophy occurs in older patients whose cornea may turn cloudy with age. It is more common after cataract surgery (Pseudophakic corneal edema) and may require a corneal transplant.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism

Red-Free & Cobalt digital filters enhance screening exams of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) & vascular structure associated with Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy or Hypertensionas well as Optic Disc & Optic Disc Drusen & more!
