Get to know Ophthalmologist Dr. Jon L. Siems, who serves patients in Nevada.
Dr. Siems is one of the most recognizable names in the field of refractive surgery, with thousands of LASIK and lens-based or cataract surgeries under his belt. In addition to his affiliation with Stonecreek Surgery Center, he is the Founder of Siems LASIK & Eye Centers with locations in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada & Temecula, California.
A combination of the right equipment, setting, and people has made Siems LASIK & Eye Centers Nevada’s busiest and most highly respected refractive surgical practice. Dr. Siems and his team have successfully treated several thousand patients by providing impeccable care and service. They use the most advanced technology and in an environment designed to give valued patients comfort and confidence.
Board-certified and fellowship-trained, Dr. Siems specializes in advanced vision correction procedures and often treats the more complicated cases that other doctors cannot. He was one of the first 5 doctors nationwide to use the IntraLase onsite and the first surgeon in Nevada to perform the bladeless LASIK procedure.
Prior to his current endeavors, he served as the Director of the UCLA Los Angeles Inland Laser Center, the LCA San Bernardino Laser Center, the Ontario Laser Center, and the Laser Vision Institute of Las Vegas. These experiences have allowed him to open what some in the field claim is the most advanced LASIK and refractive surgery center in the United States.
A 1991 graduate of the Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, Dr. Siems went on to complete his internship in internal medicine and his residency in ophthalmology at the University of Michigan. This was followed by a mini-fellowship in refractive surgery with Robert Maloney, MD, at UCLA in 1996.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and a member of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the doctor is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.
As his credentials will show, Dr. Siems has been a pioneer of refractive surgery, serving as a principal investigator for 3 large FDA trials. He was selected as one of the country’s first surgeons to investigate the surgical correction of presbyopia. He is also a contributing co-author of a seminal book on the subject.
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
