Hello! My name is Dr. Duna Raoof and I am thrilled to be joining the NVISION teams at Laguna Hills and Newport Beach.

Why I Became an Ophthalmologist

I chose ophthalmology early on during medical school after witnessing cataract surgery. The precision, elegance, and beauty of eye surgery was absolutely captivating to me. I was further drawn by the tremendous impact vision has on a person’s activities, lifestyle, and happiness. I love my field and love going to work every day to witness the positive difference I make on my patient’s quality of life. I also have a keen passion for technology; and ophthalmology is a field that continuously has advancements in its surgical techniques and lasers. I enjoy constantly learning about and applying what is most cutting edge, because I believe when it comes to your eyes, you should settle for nothing less.

Growth with Benefits

As NVISION continues to add clinics, the network of surgeons and centers also continues to grow bigger and bigger. Challenges are no surprise when a new center is added, but a consistent one had been the process of ordering supplies. Each center had it's own process and choice of supplier, chosen by the staff, allowing no room for standardization. The Source magazine features Stacy Gober, NVISION's Senior Director of ASC Operations, and discusses how membership in AdvantageTrust will benefit NVISION with cost savings and streamlined purchasing.

With millions of people in the U.S. currently suffering from , farsightedness, and astigmatism, many have, or will consider LASIK as a possible treatment option at some point in their lifetime. However, there is still a general hesitation in today’s culture when it comes to actually having the procedure. While it is understandable that some might be a tad nervous about having a laser pointed directly at their cornea, the belief that LASIK is a relatively new, primitive, or dangerous procedure with dozens of pitfalls could not be further from the truth.

After cataract surgery, your vision is restored and you see amazingly well. What can you do to keep your vision from changing again?

That is a question frequently asked after successful eye surgery. Surgeons usually tell you to exercise, eat well, eliminate tobacco, control blood pressure and lipid levels, wear ultraviolet protection and stay healthy. But knowing that your aging eyes will inevitably change, is there a way to slow down that process? What will preserve good vision for the long term?
