About Me
Dr. Drew Dickson is a cataract and refractive surgeon at Kugler Vision in Omaha who focuses on helping people see clearly with a personalized, safety-first plan. He became interested in ophthalmology after watching a brief cataract procedure transform a patient’s life, and he now offers multiple vision-correction options to match different prescriptions and lifestyles—including treatments for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and near-vision changes.
Dr. Dickson is known for being meticulous and detail-oriented. He starts by making sure each patient is a good candidate, then customizes the procedure and technology to the patient’s goals so they can feel confident about the long-term result. He has personally experienced LASIK and understands the day-to-day freedom that comes from reducing reliance on glasses or contacts.
He is active in professional organizations such as the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery and supports global eye-care training through the Himalayan Cataract Project.
