He founded and practiced in some of the most prominent groups in the region before establishing his Healdsburg practice, to which he gave his name in 2020.
There, he offers state-of-the-art eye examinations, an optical shop, surgical services for cataracts, and LASIK vision improvement.

Barth Vision and Optical's newest Practice Administrator Peter Covert is a self-driven professional, a natural problem solver, and a proven team leader.
My professional objective as a Practice Administrator is to lead the highly skilled team of medical professionals that we have here at Barth Vision, in a way that encourages the best outcomes for our patients.
My attention to the details of how this practice runs is intended to free up my coworkers so that they can provide exemplary care for our patients, explains Peter.

If your exam suggests a need for vision correction, our doctors will explore with you the options that might best suit your needs, then prescribe glasses, contact lenses, or one of the many vision correction surgeries available today.
When you come to us as a patient at Barth Vision, we will begin your treatment with a comprehensive eye exam that will employ the most advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment available in the vision care world today.
We will assess everything to do with your vision, from near and far nearsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia, to careful screening for potential optic nerve disease, retinal disease and systemic illness that may manifest in the eyes.

LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis) is now the most commonly performed of various laser treatments for the eyes.
This procedure has evolved dramatically and is now one of the safest and most effective ways to correct your vision.
At Barth Vision & Optical, we offer a treatment plan customized for your eyes, providing what multiple consumer surveys have indicated to be the "Best LASIK Surgery" in Sonoma County.
LASIK can help you achieve 20/20 vision and in some cases better than that.
