Dr. Jay Rudd has been practicing Premium Refractive Cataract Surgery for the past 25+ years in the South Puget Sound. With over 25,000 vision correction surgeries performed, he has enhanced the vision of thousands of patients.
Dr. Rudd is a cum laude graduate of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He completed his residency at the nearby and prestigious Wills Eye Hospital, where he had the opportunity to train with world-renowned ophthalmologists. He continued this top-tier ophthalmology training with a Cornea/Refractive Surgery fellowship at the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah. This year was instrumental in learning how to analyze a patient’s candidacy for refractive/cataract surgery.
After 24 years of practicing in a high-volume cataract practice in Olympia, Dr. Rudd elected to leave this style of patient care and open Rudd Vision, a Premium Cataract Surgery practice designed to bring Refractive Surgery results to cataract patients. Too often, mature patients have the misconception that they cannot achieve great vision with cataract surgery. At Rudd Vision, all cataract patients are candidates for surgery that can nearly eliminate the need for glasses. Our primary goal is to provide excellent vision outcomes by ensuring patients understand their vision correction options in a “low volume, high touch” setting.
Dr. Rudd consults personally with every patient to provide his recommendation for how best to achieve their ideal vision. He dedicates the time necessary to explain the benefits of all the surgical options available. Whether a patient desires vision with or without glasses, the team at Rudd Vision will ensure that they are well-informed before deciding about surgery.
When it comes to surgical procedures, Rudd Vision boasts the latest technology, making cataract surgery more accurate and more comfortable for patients. The Office Based Surgery (OBS) center provides this state-of-the-art technology in a relaxed and individualized setting. Most surgical patients are only at the office for about an hour, which is a fraction of the time required when cataract surgery is performed at an ASC or hospital.
Outside of the office, Dr. Rudd and his wife Carla keep busy travelling to see their children and grandchildren. He also enjoys spending time in beautiful northern Idaho, where he is an avid golfer and skier.
Dr. Rudd and the team at Rudd Vision are excited to visit with you to discuss your vision correction options. Please contact our office to schedule an appointment at Rudd Vision, where “Vision Correction Surgery has been Reimagined”
