His approach emphasizes practical guidance, careful follow-up, and treatments that match each patient’s goals. Dr. Van De Car earned his medical degree at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and completed an internship at Kaweah Health in Visalia, California. He served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force before completing ophthalmology training at the University of Wisconsin Department of Visual Sciences. In clinic, he offers evaluation and management for cataracts and glaucoma, performs indicated laser procedures, and coordinates care with the broader eye care team when subspecialty treatment is needed. Patients appreciate his approachable style and commitment to long-term eye health.
