About

Managing complicated and advanced anterior segment cases that require suturing of the Intraocular Lenses and iris repairs. My operative time for regular cataract is 4-6 minutes/case. Optional premium IOLs like multifocals and toric implant. I also offer astigmatism correction procedure(s) when appropriate, like LRI, Multifocal Toric IOLs.
Expanded the medical retina practice to include Intravitreal Injections of Anti-VEGFs like Avastin, Lucentis, Eylea, Ozurdex ….etc, in addition to the lasers to manage AMD, Diabetic and other vascular retinopathies. I have the laser in my private office. To date, I’ve given over 17,000 Intraocular Injections.
I have a very efficient solo-practice with excellent up-to-date standard of care conducted in a newly build customized 4000sqft office with full computer system with paperless office software.
