Welcome to Mountain View Eyecare, the only Comprehensive Ophthalmic Clinic in Helena housing a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, Licensed Optometrist and full service Optical Shop with an ABO Certified Optician.  Dr. Thomas Berbos and the Mountain View Eyecare team provide compassionate, comprehensive vision care for children and adults of all ages encompassing everything from routine vision exams  to cataract and lid surgeries.

Dr. Thomas G. Berbos , a South Dakota native, is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and is an active member of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, as well as the American Academy of Ophthalmology.  Dr. Berbos completed his undergraduate education at Creighton University and received his medical degree from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville TN. After serving a general surgery internship at the University of Virginia, he completed both his ophthalmology residency as well as a refractive fellowship at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He then went on to join the faculty at Eyecare for the Adirondacks in Plattsburgh, NY.

With a desire to move back out west, Dr. Berbos and his family relocated to Helena and opened Mountain View Eyecare in January 2006. The outdoor Montana lifestyle is a natural fit for Dr. Berbos who is an avid fisherman, hunter, horseman, hockey player and wildlife artist.

Dr. Berbos works hard to stay current on the latest advances in eye health and vision care and regularly attends continuing education seminars and advanced training courses. It is because of Dr. Berbos' dedication to continuing education and his embracement of technology that our patients receive the most modern and progressive eye care available.
