"Laser vision correction can positively influence many facets of everyday life. Patients convey the joy and wonder of driving, participating in hobbies, sports and countless other activities without the need for glasses or contacts. This is the aspect of refractive surgery that I enjoy the most. My first and foremost goal is delivering quality patient care and I feel reassured that we are doing this in a safe and appropriate way at Griffin & Reed Eye Care."

Brent Reed, M.D. Retired
"Approaching refractive surgery from a patient's perspective, I appreciate the hopes and concerns that they all have about the precious gift of sight. Since childhood, I was burdened with high myopic-astigmatism. For me to function, I depended on thick glasses or uncomfortable contact lenses. Then, in July of 1994 my life changed. I had laser vision correction! The world became clear for me without lenses for the first time in my memory. I am no longer dependent on corrective lenses to appreciate life. I am grateful for the gift I've been given. As a laser refractive surgeon, and a very satisfied patient, I have been privileged to share this unique experience with many thousands of patients and friends. Every day is a new joy."
Dr. Reed attended the University of Utah where he earned a BS degree in Chemistry, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduated with honors. Dr. Reed graduated from medical school and served his Ophthalmology internship at the University of Utah after graduating in 1983. He completed his Ophthalmology training through residency at the University of California, Davis, and subsequently joined Dr. Griffin in private practice.
