Dr. Lewis performed Pennsylvania’s first Visian ICL (intraocular collamer lens) soon after FDA approval in 2003. He was the first to perform same day bilateral surgery enhancing both recovery time and convenience. Dr. Lewis trained for this procedure under fellow Duke Eye Center alumnus, Juan Batlle Pichardo, MD. As a longstanding key opinion leader for Staar, Dr. Lewis has decades of experience with Staar’s other collamer implant, the nanoFLEX. He has performed more than 25,000 cataract surgical cases using the collamer lens. He was closely involved with the development and launch of Staar’s intraocular cataract implant for astigmatism.
Dr. Lewis is a fellowship trained corneal surgeon highly experienced in several different refractive procedures, including premium intraocular lenses,. He developed double transscleral suture sulcus fixation for intraocular lens implantation without capsular support.
Dr. Lewis lectures internationally in these areas and has been the Director of Cornea, Refractive, and Cataract Surgery at Salus University (formerly, The Pennsylvania College of Optometry) since 1991. Our practice specializes in providing the optimal refractive technology for our patients. We have always provided free and complete refractive surgical consultations.
