Lake Dillon Eye Care

07/17/2026

Dear Valued Patients and Friends,

It is with a mixture of deep gratitude and a heavy heart that I write to inform you that Lake Dillon Eye Care will be permanently closing its doors on July 28, 2026. Due to unexpected and unforeseen circumstances, we must close our practice sooner than originally anticipated.
Serving Summit County and the surrounding mountain communities for the past 13 years has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Melissa and I have been incredibly blessed by your loyalty, support, and business over the years. I will deeply miss seeing you in the clinic, hearing your stories, and caring for your vision. Thank you for trusting me with your eye health.
As this chapter closes, an exciting new one begins for our family. Melissa and I have joined LightBridge International and will be relocating to Cambodia to establish a non-profit eye clinic. It has long been a dream of ours to bring sustainable vision services to my native country, and your support over the last decade has helped make this mission possible.
Your health and continuity of care is our priority, therefore, please review the following details regarding your medical charts and outstanding orders. Please note that I am no longer seeing patients for exams. If you require immediate optometric care, we encourage you to contact another local eye care provider in the area as soon as possible. Our office will remain open 8:30AM - 5:00PM Monday through Friday until July 28, 2026. If you have outstanding orders for eyeglasses or contact lenses, or if you would like to pick up a physical copy of your current prescription or medical records in person, you must do so before this date.
Effective 7/28/26 we have retained Cariend, a medical records custodian, to manage the records for the next 22 years. Cariend is not a medical provider and does not handle billing, medications, or referrals for the closed practice. Requestors should be prepared to complete the Records Release Authorization Form and provide a copy of government-issued photo ID, as required by HIPAA. The fastest way to process requests for copies of medical records is to visit Cariend’s website and follow the instructions posted here: https://www.cariend.com/request-records/
If you do not have access to a computer or internet, Cariend can be reached by phone at 404-991-7080– please note the HIPAA laws do not allow medical records to be released based on a phone or email request. If you prefer to mail your completed Authorization Form and Government-issued Photo ID:
Cariend ROI
PO Box 1866
Thomasville, GA 31799-1866
If you have questions about the process, Cariend can also be contacted via email at mailto:[email protected] however, you should not send sensitive personal information or request documents through email.
To assist you with your transition, we have several recommendations for your continued care. For local optometry offices offering general eye care, glasses, and contact lens services, we recommend Blue River Vision in Silverthorne, CO and EyeTech Optometry in Frisco, CO. For general ophthalmology, including medical eye care and eyelid problems or oculoplastics, we recommend Denver Eye Surgeons, whom you can reach at 303-279-6600 or online at www.denvereyesurgeons.com. For Neurolens wearers, Evergreen Vision Cinic in Evergreen, https://evergreenvision.com/. Patients who have a diagnosis of glaucoma, have high eye pressure, are currently being monitored or treated for glaucoma, or are concerned about glaucoma should contact Dr. Zachary Vest at Mile High Eye Institute at 303-482-1300 or visit www.mhei.com for further care. Finally, patients with retinal disease, macular degeneration, or other retinal or vitreous concerns are advised to contact Colorado Retina Associates at 303-261-1600 or visit www.retinacolorado.com

Thank you again for 13 wonderful years of memories, trust, and community. We will carry the spirit of Summit County with us all the way to Cambodia.

Wishing you and your families the very best of health and happiness.

Sincerely,

Dr. Wills Vanray
