edar Valley Eye Care (CVEC) offers one-stop shopping for your family’s eye care, ranging from routine eye care from three optometrists, to specialized treatment and surgery from three ophthalmologists and one retina specialist. It’s all under one roof in several convenient locations. CVEC has prided itself on always being in the forefront, using the latest technology in performing cataract surgery,
corneal transplants and LASIK surgery, along with offering contact lenses, general eye examinations, eyelid surgery, retina care and other optical services. Eye care no longer entails just vision correction surgery or prescription eyewear. Dr. Thomas Petrie is one of the newest additions to CVEC’s staff. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Northern Iowa, attended medical school at Des Moines University, and
completed his ophthalmology residency in Columbus, Ohio. “One reason why I came back to join this practice, and something that I take pride in now as a part of it, is that the practice is always in the forefront and the providers are always looking for ways to not only improve the care provided, but to improve outcomes as well," he says. Dr. Petrie says there is a huge demand for retina care with the aging population,
