Laser Vision Correction (LASIK)

I am a former Rhodes Scholar and Summa Cum Laude graduate of Harvard University. I completed my education at Oxford University and Johns Hopkins Hospital. I was the first surgeon in western North America to perform LASIK surgery as part of the original FDA clinical trials. I am Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at UCLA, and director of the Maloney Vision Institute, in Los Angeles, California. I was voted by my peers as one of America's top ten vision-correction specialists in a nationwide survey conducted by Ophthalmology Times, I have trained more than 700 surgeons in the use of the excimer laser and have personally performed more than 55,000 vision-correction surgeries. My research is focused on developing new technologies for vision correction surgery, including the implantable contact lens and the light-adjustable lens implant, and on complications of vision-correction surgery. I have been a principal investigator for twenty one FDA clinical trials and I am the developer of the Modified Maloney Method of calculating IOL power for cataract surgery.
