Dr. Bigham, who earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia, completed his internship in surgery at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, followed by his residency in ophthalmology at the San Diego Naval Hospital and a fellowship in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.

Dr. Bigham performs refractive surgery, laser procedures that correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. “LASIK” AND “PRK” refractive surgery are done in an outpatient setting. These surgeries reshape the cornea, which alleviates vision abnormalities, reducing, and in many cases eliminating, the
need for eyeglasses.
