As a board-certified ophthalmologist and the President of Virginia Eye Consultants, I am highly experienced in helping patients achieve and maintain clear vision and good eye health. I am fellowship-trained in uveitis and corneal surgery, and I am skilled with a number of advanced vision correction and eye care procedures, including cataract surgery, intraocular lens implants, and treatments for eye conditions such as dry eye syndrome and glaucoma. At VEC, our extensively trained physicians strive to provide patients with outstanding eye care solutions in a welcoming and relaxing environment. Through our advanced LASIK and PRK procedures, we can give patients the opportunity to reduce - and potentially even eliminate - their reliance on glasses and contacts.
I make an effort to stay up-to-date on the latest treatment technologies in order to provide exceptional care. Many of the doctors at VEC develop new treatment options, lead research teams, and serve on national boards in order to create the best solutions for even the most challenging conditions. I am proud to lead our team and oversee our overall mission of excellence here at our state-of-the-art eye care facility.
As an ophthalmologist in VA, Dr. John Sheppard is trained to diagnose, treat, and manage diseases or trauma of the eye. Dr. Sheppard may treat conditions such as glaucoma, corneal tumors, cataracts, retinal disorders, conjunctivitis, astigmatism and ocular tumors. Treatments may include the prescription of medication or surgeries such as corrective surgery (e.g. LASIK), cataract surgery, or glaucoma surgery.
