Dr. Kourtney H. Houser
Overview
My practice focuses on the surgical and medical treatment of cornea, anterior segment, and lens disorders in adults and children. I specialize in corneal transplant surgery, cataract surgery with advanced technology lenses, intraocular lens complications, and refractive surgery such as LASIK and PRK. I am fortunate to work at this wonderful institution and in a field where we have the technology to impact lives daily through improvement and customization of vision. I love forming relationships with patients and offering the newest technologies available. Outside of work, I enjoy teaching residents, fellows, and other ophthalmologists both locally and at national meetings. I also love traveling, spending time outdoors biking or running, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my husband and dog.
