Mothers are amazing! They are caretakers, role models, and inspirations. So many of us owe so much to them, thanks to their hard work and sacrifice. This Mother’s Day, Hoopes Vision is honoring mothers at the same time we honor another group known for hard work and sacrifice: our military. We’re going to give free custom LASIK surgeries to three deserving “military moms” in the following three categories:
- ONE to the mother of an active or former member of the military
- ONE to the wife of an active member of the military (also a mother)
- ONE to an active member of the military who is herself a mother
To nominate your mom, wife, or a military mom that you know, send in a short (under 2 minutes) video describing this mother’s hard work and dedication to her family and our country, and how vision correction surgery could change her life. Be sure to specify under which category your nominee falls. Submit your entry through the contest link on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/HoopesVision). The deadline for entries is Friday May 3rd at noon. Beginning May 3rd at noon there will be one week to vote for your favorite entries, with voting ending on May 10th at noon. Winners will be announced May 10th at or about 4:00. In addition, all of the moms entered in the contest will receive a special Mother’s Day gift certificate that can be paired with our regular military discount. Additionally, Real Salt Lake will be giving each of the winners a pair of tickets to their May 25th soccer game and will be honoring them for their hard work and dedication during half-time! So give that military mom in your life a chance to have an unforgettable Mother’s Day with Hoopes Vision and Real Salt Lake.

Monday, March 18th, was Hoopes Vision Night at the Energy Solutions Arena during the Utah Jazz/New York Knicks game. Not only was it a great night for the lucky fan who won a certificate for LASIK surgery from Hoopes Vision, but also for the fans as the Jazz battled with the Knicks until the last minute. Each year we look forward to Hoopes Vision Night as an opportunity for us to give a free LASIK surgery to one lucky Jazz fan. This year four couples competed in an on-court obstacle course and layup contest while wearing vision-impairing goggles. Danielle and Dylan were our lucky winning couple, walking away with a certificate for complimentary blade-free custom LASIK surgery from Hoopes Vision. We at Hoopes Vision are proud to be trusted as the Official Eye Care and LASIK provider for the Utah Jazz, and look forward to helping the staff, team, dancers, mascot and all Jazz fans with their vision correction needs for years to come.

Dr. Michael Bradley, one of our surgeons at Hoopes Vision, was invited on KUTV 2’s Fresh Living to discuss our new vision correction center and the benefits it provides our patients looking to have LASIK, cataract surgery, corneal transplants, and other vision correction procedures. Our new facility is built from the ground-up with vision correction surgery in mind. The laser procedure room controls humidity, temperature and other factors that can affect the outcome of surgery. Our new clinic provides a relaxing and welcoming environment for testing and for patients to learn about vision correction. Our ambulatory surgical center, EyeSurg of Utah has been specifically designed to provide an ideal environment for custom laser cataract surgery, and our clinical research department will help advance new technology and procedures to improve vision.
We are excited to be able to offer the very best to our patients and to celebrate our new facility we are offering a special discount through March 2013. Come in for a tour of our facility and get $1000 off blade-free LASIK or Visian ICL surgery ($500 off per eye). Military, firefighters, police, teachers and their spouses receive an additional $100 off per eye. Visit www.hoopesvision.com for details and restrictions.

Optimedica®, manufacturer of the Catalys™ Precision Laser System, recently named Hoopes Vision a Laser Cataract Surgery Center of Excellence for our pioneering efforts in laser cataract surgery. We are honored to be one of only three cataract surgery centers in the nation to have earned this designation. Hoopes Vision is the first, and currently the only, surgery center in Utah to own a Catalys™ system. Hoopes Vision is also the only center in the world to feature both cataract laser platforms currently approved for cataract removal in the United States: the Optimedica® Catalys™ and the Alcon® LenSx™. cataract laser platforms automate the first steps in cataract surgery and provide greater precision and accuracy.
As an early adopter of this exciting new advance in cataract surgery technology, Hoopes Vision’s surgery center, EyeSurg of Utah, is regularly visited by surgeons from around the country and world to observe laser cataract surgery first-hand and learn techniques from our surgeons. Our commitment has always been to offer our patients the newest, safest, and most advanced vision correction technologies available.

Dr. Phillip C. Hoopes, Jr., MD, recently performed the first of many to come cataract operations in our brand-new outpatient surgery center, EyeSurg of Utah. This is one of the first (if not the first) surgery centers in the world designed specifically for laser cataract surgery. We currently are the only center in the world to have two cataract lasers, the Optimedica Catalys™ and the Alcon LenSx™ lasers. In addition to cataract surgery, we will also perform ICL, corneal transplants and pterygium surgeries in the surgery center. It occupies the entire north wing of the first floor of our brand-new office building which is one of the best-equipped and most technologically advanced eye surgery centers in the country. EyeSurg offers a covered patient drop-off area and has its own, separate waiting room to help decrease wait time and walking distance for our patients.
Call or stop by today and schedule your free consultation to see which vision correction surgery is best for you.

We have water bottles and home made cookies and then we will present you with a certificate for $1,000 off ($500 per eye) LASIK or ICL surgery.

All moved in - Working at the main reception desk
Happy 2013! At Hoopes Vision, the New Year brought along with it some exciting new changes, including a brand new Hoopes Vision office building! We spent the holiday weekend packing, moving and setting up our new space. Having such a vast amount of vision correction technology is great – until you have to move it! We enlisted the help of Bailey’s Moving & Storage and truly appreciate the professional, service they provided. Each of our lasers and sensitive testing equipment has been moved, re-calibrated and tested by engineers sent from the manufactures. Every aspect of environment that can affect the laser performance, such as temperature and humidity, has been precisely controlled to help provide optimal results. Although we are still getting used to our new place, we are happy to have our clinic (where pre and post-operative testing takes place), our LASIK surgery center, and our clinical research department up and running. Our ambulatory surgical center, EyeSurg of Utah, where cataract surgery, ICL surgery and cornea transplant surgery takes place, should be ready in a few more weeks. Our new vision correction facility is already proving to be all that we had hoped for, allowing us to offer our patients a better experience and reduced wait times. The new Hoopes Vision will provide our patients, looking to improve their vision, a vision correction facility like no other, featuring the latest proven vision correction technology and a team of dedicated, talented surgeons and staff in a comfortable, welcoming environment. We are excited to share this new space with all of you and welcome you to stop by and check it out. We are easy to find – just east and next to I-15 at 11820 South State Street in Draper.
