Jeffrey D. Gold, MD is a Board-Certified ophthalmologist with over thirty years’ experience in eye medicine and surgery and special expertise in laser vision correction. After receiving his Medical Degree from the University of Tennessee, he completed his ophthalmology residency at Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Between 1990 and 1997, he trained in refractive and laser surgery with two leaders in the field based in Salt Lake City, UT. Soon after the FDA approval of the Excimer Laser in 1995, he began performing laser vision correction in one of the first two laser centers in the United States to offer the procedure. Between 1997 and 2000, he was instrumental in the development of the Yale Eye Laser Center as a member of both its Organizational Board and then its Medical Advisory Board.

Dr. Gold is fully certified on the NIDEK, VISX, and SUMMIT lasers. He has performed over 8000 Laser Vision Correction procedures, the vast majority being LASIK. The latest additions at Liberty Vision (his Connecticut practice) are CustomVue correction utilizing the VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser with Flying Spot and Tracking technology and Iris Registration; and Conductive Keratoplasty (CK), the use of radio frequency energy to correct presbyopia or the need for reading glasses.

He was the first National Medical Director of TruVision and the only Connecticut provider certified to treat TruVision patients (all of whom are Anthem Blue Cross or HealthNet members.)

As a former faculty member of the ophthalmology departments of both Yale University and the University of Utah, he has authored and presented original research on laser eye surgery.

Dr. Gold is a member of the Connecticut Society of Eye Physicians, a Diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and its Refractive Surgery Interest Group, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery.
