Specializing in LASIK & Cataract Surgery Since 1983
Few things are more important than your eyesight. When you have compromised vision in one or both eyes, it is important to consult a licensed ophthalmologist who can diagnose the problem and provide the solution or treatment that is best for your eyes. At Porter Ophthalmology, we are here to help improve your eyesight by providing comprehensive services, regardless of your age or condition. We have a proven track record—working with patients of all ages—to correct and restore optimal vision.
The experienced team at Porter Ophthalmology specializes in both LASIK/Laser Vision and Cataract Surgery, providing you with the best solution to help correct your vision so you can see better.
Dr. IsAac W. Porter
Raleigh’s Trusted REFRACTIVE SURGEON
Dr. Porter has been providing quality LASIK, SMILE, PRK, RLE, and Cataract Surgery for over a decade. Due to advances in laser technology, he has successfully corrected the vision of countless patients with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Dr. Porter is a fellowship-trained refractive surgeon. His areas of expertise include laser vision correction with LASIK, SMILE, PRK, and RLE, as well as modern cataract surgery, including laser surgery and advanced technology lens implants that can correct a wide range of vision and astigmatism. He is also the only surgeon in North Carolina performing the newest laser vision correction procedure, SMILE.
Dr. Bradley Sifrig
Dr. Sifrig grew up in small town Michigan before moving to warmer climates to get his undergraduate degree in Biology at Florida Gulf Coast University. He continued his education at the University of Florida College of Medicine where he graduated number one in his class and was elected to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Sifrig then completed his internship year at Orange Park Medical Center before moving to Dallas, Texas for his ophthalmology residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
During his ophthalmology residency at UT Southwestern, one of the busiest surgical programs in the country, Dr. Sifrig trained in modern cataract surgery, laser cataract surgery, and advanced technology lens implants including toric, EDOF, and multifocal lenses. He also discovered a special interest in modern refractive surgery. This interest came natural – most of his family members have had LASIK and would universally agree it was one of the best decisions they ever made. Following residency, Dr. Sifrig joined Porter Ophthalmology as a fellow of the Refractive Surgery Alliance to further his mastery of refractive surgery.
When not busy in the clinic, Dr. Sifrig enjoys spending free time with family and friends and getting outdoors. He has camped in over twenty national parks over the past three years and is always ready for the next amazing hike. On any given Saturday in the Fall, Dr. Sifrig can be found surrounded by friends cheering on the Florida Gators football team.
