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.
