About
InterMountain Eye Associates was founded by Steven Vale, M.D. in 1999 to provide comprehensive medical and surgical eye care to the Northeastern region of Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Carbondale, Tunkhannock, Honesdale, Dunmore, Clarks Summit, Pittston, Mount Pocono, the Pocono Lakes Region, Susquehanna, Sullivan and Bradford Counties and northern Monroe County.
Our first ophthalmology practice in Northeast Pennsylvania was in Honesdale, but soon moved to Carbondale, Pennsylvania, where Dr. Vale has practiced ophthalmology since August of 1999. 2003 saw the opening of our second eye care location at the intersection of Moosic Street and Meadow Avenue in Scranton, PA. In 2006 we expanded our medical and surgical eye care services into the Lehigh Valley, with our third office on Route 191 in Bethlehem Township, in Northampton County.
Through our association with Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center, where Dr. Vale serves as medical director, InterMountain Eye Associates can offer you multiple laser vision correction options, including LASIK, Epi-LASIK, PRK and LASEK, which are available at our Scranton and Bethlehem locations.

Comprehensive Eye Exams
A thorough examination of the anatomy of the eyes includes both a through slit lamp bio-microscope examination and a dilated eye exam. InterMountain eye doctors will screen for glaucoma, diabetes and cataracts, as well as for dry eye, infection, allergies, injuries, macular degeneration and inflammatory conditions. Vision is tested and prescriptions for eyeglasses or contact lenses are provided as needed. Medications and recommendations for follow-up care may be given as well.
Diabetic Eye Care
Regular exams and ongoing care and management of diabetic patients is highly recommended to prevent blindness from occurring. The doctor will maintain communication with the patient’s general practitioner to manage the patient’s diabetes through ongoing eye exams. The doctors at InterMountain Eye Associates work closely with diabetics and their primary care providers to detect their disease and manage conditions associated with diabetic eye disease, such as Glaucoma, Cataracts, and Retinopathy, in their earliest stages. We can provide examinations and perform medical and laser surgical treatments or refer patients to a retinal surgeon if required.
Dry Eye Evaluation and Treatment
Etiology of dry eye and chronic ocular irritation vary and treatment is targeted at addressing causes and individual needs. At InterMountain, we don’t just hand you a bottle of artificial tears and tell you to live with this condition. Our multiple modality approach to dry eye is holistic and has the goal of curing or ameliorating the problem to the greatest extent possible. Dry eye therapy at InterMountain follows a thorough evaluation of the eyes and surrounding structures and may include recommendations for over–the–counter eye-drops, prescription eyedrops, punctal occlusion, Ω-3 fatty acids, oral medications or eyelid hygiene therapy.
Cataract Evaluation and Post Cataract Surgery Care and Treatment
Dr. Vale and Dr. Chandoha will screen for cataracts by performing a visual acuity test, a slit lamp examination, and a dilated retinal examination. InterMountain will arrange cataract surgery if needed. Post-operative cataract care, including management of discomfort or swelling, complications from surgery, vision testing and prescriptions for eyeglasses following recovery are provided by our doctors and staff.
Contact Lens Examination
images-6Fitting and follow-up examinations and contact lens trial prescriptions are available. We encourage patients with problems with contact lens wear to contact us immediately and to avoid wearing contacts until being evaluated by our doctors.

This is a great place to go for eye care. Very thorough exams and a great selection of frames and lenses. Not the fanciest place on Earth but you can't beat the prices or the friendly service. Mrs. Ki
