Ophthalmology
Led by Dr. Thomas Harvey
Dr. Thomas Harvey is a fellowship-trained anterior segment eye surgeon and one of the most accomplished ophthalmologists in the Chippewa Valley — and it is that same passion for expanding access to quality eye care that brings him to AmeriNam Healing’s mission in Vietnam.
Dr. Harvey earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2000 and completed an elite fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas — one of the country’s most respected ophthalmology training programs. Specializing in cornea surgery, cataract surgery, and vision correction, he founded Independent Vision Group and the Independent Surgery Center in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and today performs approximately one out of every three cataract surgeries in the Chippewa Valley. A multi-year Castle Connolly Top Doctors award recipient, he also serves as an officer on the Outpatient Ophthalmic Surgery Society National Board and is a founding member of the Vanguard Ophthalmology Society.
Beyond his thriving practice, Dr. Harvey has long believed that exceptional eye care should not be a privilege limited by geography or circumstance. He has organized numerous surgical mission trips around the globe, and through his partnership with AmeriNam Healing, he continues that work in Vietnam — where conditions like cataracts, left untreated, can mean a lifetime of preventable blindness.
