Q&A With Your Ophthalmologist
What you do you enjoy about being an ophthalmologist in California?
I am the probably the only 55 year old ophthalmologist with 30 years of experience In refractive surgery and ophthalmology, the reason being that I did a pre residency fellowship in ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins (1994). Having practiced abroad, I was able to perform ICL surgeries before it was FDA approved. I was among the first international users of the Alcon WaveLight excimer laser before it was FDA approved, and an ambassador to the company. Several peer reviewed publications and book chapters, this is the link to the latest publication.
