PHILOSOPHY OF CARE
I believe in an individualized approach to patient care. You can expect my full attention, so your concerns are addressed. I prioritize patient education, ensuring you understand your vision conditions and treatment options. My goals are to find solutions to your vision needs and develop a long-term plan of care that provides the best vision possible for years to come.
BACKGROUND
Dr. Johnson is a Boise native who grew up around the family optometry practice. This provided the unique perspective of learning the importance of thoughtful patient care in combination with specific vision solutions, and the effect on patients' lives. His experience came full circle when he learned that half of the human brain is involved in visual function; far more than simply seeing 20/20. It was at that moment he knew he wanted to become a residency-trained neuro-optometrist, trained to detect problems that overlap an extensive range of diseases that can be related to the eye, brain, or extra ocular muscles.
EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING
Dr. Johnson has been in practice at Artisan Optics for over a decade. He completed his undergraduate studies at Boise State University. Dr. Johnson continued his education at Southern California College of Optometry, where he earned his Doctorate of Optometry degree. He then went on to post-graduate studies at the University of California Berkeley, where he completed a year of sub-specialty residency training in binocular vision and neuro-optometry. His advanced training allows him to better diagnose and treat vision conditions related to functional visual performance and neurological disorders impacting the visual system. Dr. Johnson is a Fellow of the America Academy of Optometry, a reflection of his commitment to ongoing education and career development.
Dr. Ryan Johnson provides comprehensive eye care for his patients, however his area of specialty is addressing vision issues beyond 20/20. Headaches, dry eye, computer vision syndrome, and persistent visual discomfort are a few areas of passion for Dr. Johnson.
