About Jason Besecker OD, MS
Dr. Jason Besecker is the founder and managing director of Envision Specialty EyeCare & Dry Eye Center, the first and only eye care clinic in Idaho dedicated to the treatment and management of ocular conditions responsible for dry eye symptoms. Even though dry eye is the focus, Dr. Besecker also enjoys helping patients manage their glaucoma, age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and taking care of ocular emergencies.

Prior to opening his specialty dry eye clinic, Dr. Besecker was an associate at Hollingshead Eye Center, a cataract and LASIK referral center, from 2014-2021 where he was able to gain significant experience in the areas of ocular disease and surgical co-management. While practicing at Hollingshead Eye Center, he began to see the increase in patient complaints related to dry eye symptoms. It became evident that there was a need for advanced dry eye services within the community which resulted in him founding Envsion Specialty EyeCare in June of 2021.

Dr. Besecker has called Boise, ID home since he was young. He received his Bachelors and Masters of Science in Biology from Boise State University, and went on to earn a Doctor of Optometry at Indiana University School of Optometry. He completed internships in the treatment and management of ocular disease, pre and post operative surgical care, and primary eye care at Indian University School of Optometry, Hudson Valley VA Medical Center, and at the Eye Institute of Utah.

Outside of helping others with their eyecare needs, Dr. Besecker enjoys travel, bouldering, and enjoying what the Idaho outdoors has to offer.
