Dr. Simons holds a Bachelor of Science Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University.
Dr. Simons has performed over fifteen thousand cataract surgeries, refractive cataract, and laser vision correction procedures. He has special expertise in the newest intraocular lens technologies and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries. This enables him to offer his patients state-of-the-art care — including laser-assisted cataract surgery with intraocular lens implants that provide the greatest possible freedom from the need for glasses as well as LASIK and PRK laser vision correction that is the safest, most precise, and most effective available. He also offers implantable intraocular lens surgery as an alternative refractive surgery for patients that may not be candidates for other types of refractive surgeries.
Dr. Simons is an expert in cataract and refractive surgery and regularly receives referrals from other physicians and has performed surgeries on numerous patients including other ophthalmologists and their families.
