Biography
My special interests are cataract surgery, cornea and refractive surgery. This includes surgery to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, with procedures such as astigmatic keratotomy, conventional and wavefront LASIK, conductive keratoplasty (CK) for presbyopia and hyperopia and photorefractive keratoplasty (PRK). I also perform small incision, no-stitch and no-patch cataract surgery and corneal transplants. I am published in cataract and refractive surgery topics and have a research interest in clinical outcome studies. I am married with three children. In my leisure time, I enjoy boating, electronics and aviation.
