About Me

Dr. Eric Peterson is an ophthalmologist who provides comprehensive eye care with a focus on cataract evaluation and surgery. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Utah and completed his medical degree at the Virginia Commonwealth School of Medicine. He then went on to complete both his internship and ophthalmology residency at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, where he gained extensive experience in diagnosing and treating a wide range of eye conditions.

Dr. Peterson enjoys helping patients understand how their vision affects their overall quality of life and walks them through each step of the cataract surgery process, from initial evaluation to postoperative care. He offers modern surgical approaches and carefully tailors lens options to each patient’s visual goals. Outside of the operating room, he values building long-term relationships with patients and their families and is excited to care for the communities he serves in Virginia.
