Jeffrey Gold, MD is a Board-Certified Ophthalmologist with over 45 years of experience in eye medicine and surgery with special expertise in laser technology. In fact, he is just one of a handful of ophthalmologists in the United States who specialize exclusively in PRK/Epi-LASIK laser vision correction. Since 1997, Dr. Gold has limited his ophthalmology practice exclusively to Laser Vision Correction, having performed over 12,000 Laser Vision Correction procedures by mid-2017.

After practicing in the New Haven area for more than 15 years, Dr. Gold relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1991 through 1997 where he perfected his Laser Vision Correction techniques. Soon after FDA approval of the excimer laser in 1995, he began performing laser vision correction in one of the first two laser centers in the United States to offer vision correction procedures using excimer laser technology, training under the direction of two of the leaders in the field until 1997.
Dr. Gold completed Mini-Fellowships in Refractive Surgery at the Casebeer Refractive Surgery Center, Johns Hopkins University, and the Cleveland Eye Clinic. From 1997 through 2000, he was part of a three-person team who developed the Yale Laser Center, serving as a member of both the Organizational Board and the Medical Advisory Board.
