Get to know Ophthalmologist Dr. Yaron Rabinowitz, who serves patients in Beverly Hills, California.
Dr. Rabinowitz is an internationally recognized cornea and LASIK surgeon & ophthalmologist in the Los Angeles area. As the Director of Cornea Eye Institute in Beverly Hills, he proudly serves patients with compassionate and expert eye care, providing services for keratoconus, laser corneal transplants, laser cataract surgery, laser vision correction, and more.
“Whether you’re exploring laser refractive surgery to minimize reliance on glasses or contact lenses or dealing with cataracts, dry eyes or any corneal condition, the Cornea Eye Institute can provide treatment with the latest technology, helping you achieve the quality of vision you long for” as stated on their website.
Dedicated to helping patients achieve the quality of vision that they deserve, Dr. Rabinowitz was one of the first doctors in the Los Angeles area to perform customized bladeless LASIK at his facility, which was the first laser center in the Los Angeles area to own an Intralase Laser offering both iLASIK and Allegretto wavefront-optimized treatments. He was also the first doctor in Los Angeles to perform cornea transplants with a laser and has more experience with this procedure than any other Los Angeles doctor.
In the early days of his academic career, Dr. Rabinowitz obtained his medical degree from the Faculty of Health Sciences – University of Cape Town in Africa in 1979. Upon relocating to the United States, he completed two years of fellowship training after completing his eye residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University and the Doheny Eye Institute at the University of Southern California.
With a passion for excellence in every aspect of eye care, the doctor is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.
From 1996 to 2001, Dr. Rabinowitz was the Chairman of the Division of Ophthalmology at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, a position he relinquished to focus on his research. He is currently the Director of Eye Research at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and a Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at U.C.L.A. School of Medicine. He has been a recipient of a grant from the National Eye Institutes of Health for the past 16 years for his groundbreaking research on keratoconus and the shape of the eye.
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
Routinely tracking his results in order to improve the visual outcomes of his patients, Dr. Rabinowitz is widely recognized for his clinical success. He has received numerous awards, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology Honor Award, the International Society of Refractive Surgery Kritzinger Award for excellence in research, the Jules Stein Eye Institute Research Award, and the VISX Star Award. He has also been an honored guest of the French Eye Society and has been rated by his peers as one of the leading doctors in Los Angeles as noted in LA Magazine’s “Superdoctors” survey.
Among his many achievements, he has authored a book on corneal topography (studies of the shape of the eye for laser surgery), invented a computer program used worldwide for screening prior to laser surgery, given over 130 lectures in over a dozen countries, and performed thousands of laser eye surgeries. What’s more, he is the author of over 80 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.
An avid reader, traveler, and tennis player, Dr. Rabinowitz is married. He and his wife, Nancy, have three children: Leah, Alec, and Sara. They live in Marina del Rey, California.
