About Me
Dr. Tanner Ferguson is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist with Vance Thompson Vision. He cares for patients in Sioux Falls, SD, and South Sioux City, NE, with a special interest in refractive cataract surgery and laser vision correction. Dr. Ferguson believes the best outcomes start with listening—understanding your visual history, daily tasks, and goals—and tailoring a plan that fits your life. He completed medical school at the University of South Dakota, ophthalmology residency at the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute, and advanced fellowship training at Vance Thompson Vision. Early research mentorship with Dr. Vance Thompson and Dr. John Berdahl sparked a lasting commitment to patient-focused, evidence-based care, and he remains active in clinical research to advance options for cataract and corneal treatment. Whether you are exploring LASIK or considering lens surgery, Dr. Ferguson explains each step clearly and partners with you from consultation through recovery so you feel confident and comfortable throughout your care.
