THE PRACTICE
Founded in the 1980s, Park City Vision has been Summit County's premier eye center for decades. Its sterling reputation has only improved over the years, and the focus of the practice has always been on providing the highest quality of personalized care to locals and visitors alike.
In 2017, Park City Vision Center became Park City Vision Source - with new local ownership and major investments in the most advanced, comprehensive eye health technology available. With tools like Optos wide angle photographs, a visual field instrument that helps detect damage to visual fibers, to a number of additional instruments to protect sight while checking eyes for any early signs of disease, your exam is truly comprehensive.
