Dr. Daniel Olson

Kevin Jackson, MD, is an ophthalmologist at Duke Eye Center whose practice focuses on the cornea, cataract, and anterior segment. He partners closely with each person to understand their visual goals and design clear, practical plans to reach them. Clinically, he offers the full spectrum of corneal transplantation — from full-thickness to partial-thickness techniques — and performs traditional, premium, and laser-assisted cataract surgery using modern lens options. He also provides laser vision correction, including LASIK and PRK, and manages complex disorders of the cornea, lens, and ocular surface. As a fellowship-trained cornea specialist, Dr. Jackson is committed to evidence-based, thoughtful care and to helping patients make informed choices. He is equally comfortable discussing nonsurgical therapies and moving forward with surgery when the timing is right. His training includes medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine, ophthalmology residency at Duke Eye Center, advanced cornea fellowship at Duke, and an innovation fellowship at Stanford’s Byers Eye Institute. Patients describe his style as warm, collaborative, and focused on improving quality of life.

Dr. Katherine Peters is a board-certified anterior segment and cornea specialist who helps patients see and feel better with individualized surgical and nonsurgical options. Her clinical interests include cataract surgery, complex anterior segment reconstruction, corneal transplantation, and laser vision correction. Patients value her warm bedside manner and her emphasis on clear expectations, from pre-operative planning through recovery and long-term maintenance. A Tennessee native, Dr. Peters completed her undergraduate and medical training at Vanderbilt University, followed by a transitional year at the University of Tennessee, ophthalmology residency at Duke Eye Center where she served as Chief Resident, and an anterior segment/cornea fellowship at Vance Thompson Vision. She has authored peer-reviewed publications and presented at national meetings. Dr. Peters blends advanced surgical skill with patient education to match technology—such as modern corneal grafts and refractive options—to each person’s visual goals.

Nathan A. Fischer, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in diseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous at Cape Fear Retina. He earned his medical degree from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, completed an internal medicine internship at Brookwood Medical Center, and an ophthalmology residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he was selected chief resident. He then completed a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship with Retina Consultants of Alabama/University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Fischer treats the full spectrum of retinal conditions, from age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy to retinal tears and detachments, macular holes, and complications of vascular occlusions. He emphasizes clear communication, careful examination, and collaboration with patients and referring doctors to protect and improve sight. Outside of medicine, he enjoys time outdoors with his family.
