About Us

Milestones Eyecare was born from a lifelong connection and a shared vision. Dr. VanDan met his best friend in third grade. They grew up together, attended optometry school side by side, became roommates, got married and started their families at the same time. They shared laughs, heartbreaks, and experiences that only 30+ years of friendship could create. Together, they built their first practice, Milestones Optometry in San Diego in 2018 to symbolize their special bond. Life’s course brought Dr. VanDan back to Colorado, but the heart behind the practice remains the same.

At Milestones Eyecare, we are committed to creating a warm, welcoming space where patients feel like family. Our mission is to provide personalized, comprehensive eyecare focused not just on vision correction, but on overall ocular health and long-lasting wellness. Here, we celebrate the milestones of life alongside you, from graduating kindergarten to ascending to grandparenthood. For eyes young and wise, we ensure that you and your loved ones see clearly and stay healthy at every stage of life.
