Services
LASIK
LASIK is a bladefree laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Ideal for adults seeking freedom from glasses or contacts, the treatment is performed at our Burlington facility using the latest wavefrontguided technology. Patients typically experience rapid visual recovery, improved daily functioning, and longterm stability of vision after surgery.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an clear intraocular lens to restore vision. At New England Vision & Vermont Eye Laser, we offer customizable cataract procedures that can reduce postoperative dependence on glasses or contacts. Patients benefit from quick outpatient recovery, enhanced color perception, and improved quality of life following the operation.
Cornea Treatment
Corneal disease treatment addresses conditions such as Fuch's dystrophy, keratoconus, and infections that affect the eye's clear outer layer. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic imaging and therapeutic options, including medication and surgical interventions, to preserve corneal clarity. Patients experience reduced glare, improved visual acuity, and prevention of further vision loss through personalized care plans.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma management focuses on lowering intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss. We employ prescription eye drops, laser therapy, and minimally invasive surgeries tailored to each patients disease stage. Regular monitoring helps preserve peripheral vision, maintain independence, and reduce the risk of blindness.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
A comprehensive eye exam evaluates visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions that can affect sight. Our optometrists use advanced retinal imaging, pressure testing, and slitlamp examination to detect glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, and other issues early. Early detection enables timely treatment, preserving vision and reducing the need for more invasive interventions later.

Getting lasik was something I had never considered until I stopped tolerating lenses. An acquaintance whose daughter in law had had the procedure recommended Dr. Larson. My appointment was convenient, all of my visits have been quick and easy, and the procedure fast, post-op instructions clear and simple, and the whole experience worth the time and expense. I'm 3 months out and delighted with the outcome thus far. My eyes feel healthier. I recommend this medical practice for your eye care needs and for lasik.

I had the extreme pleasure of receiving LASIK surgery by Dr. Larson and all the wonderful staff @ Vermont Eye Laser last week! My vision was really bad, with astigmatism to boot. I had been in glasses since the 3rd grade & do not recall a single day of waking up to see clearly (without glasses) until now at age 33. I absolutely had the best experience with this office! Every person I interacted with was professional & informative.
And although I was nervous, the staff allowed me to feel confident. The procedure was quick and painless. Honestly, still can't believe just how quick & efficient it was! I only wish I had made the decision sooner! The very next day I have 20/20 vision in my left eye & 20/25 in my right (which is expected to continue to improve.) I would recommend this procedure & this office to absolutely anyone. My life has completely changed for the better! =D

I have contemplated getting eye laser surgery for quite some time and I could not be happier with finally taking the leap! Not only did I get the vision I have dreamed of since I was 11 years old, but I was treated like a Queen at Vermont Eye Laser and New England Vision. The staff was extremely friendly, from the front desk to the surgeon herself! A huge thank you to Carrie, who checked me in as well as calmed my nerves. An even bigger thank you to Dr. Juli Larson for giving me my best vision; all the while having created a calm and welcoming environment. If I had to do it all over again, I would return to this facility (which is also gorgeous)! Thank you all so much; my life has been changed forever!

I had my PRK surgery done here less than a month ago. My experience with all of the staff was wonderful! They are patient in talking you through everything, step by step right down to the procedure. If you're considering corrective surgery definitely make an appointment!

I just had my first appointment today and what an amazingly great staff and doctor! Everyone is really friendly and they are super clean. Always seeing people cleaning out every room that was used immediately. Everyone had face masks on too. While I was not approved for Lasik surgery because of preexisting personal health reasons, I would definitely recommend anyone that was looking to have eye surgery to here.
The doctor actually took the time to research my rare disorder while I was here and consulted another surgeon. Then came in and explained nicely what he found out. I appreciate that more than I could tell him at that moment. Thank you!

I was extremely nervous going in and considering only doing one eye. Dr. Larson was super patient and honest with me, making me feel at ease. In the end, after discussing with my boyfriend, i did both eyes and am soo relieved i did! She walked me through all the steps of the procedure before and during. The most uncomfortable part of the procedure was the pressure Of the suction cup but it only lasted about 10 seconds. Waking up after my nap at home, my eyes were really dry and hard to open but with time (and lots of drops) they opened and by that night around 7 i noticed i was seeing the tv across the room for the first time without aid. SUCH an amazing feeling. The morning after was even better! I completely recommend Dr Larson and this facility
