Biography

I am a Mayo trained, board certified ophthalmologist specializing in laser and cataract surgery including "Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery," LASIK, Glaucoma and Cornea procedures. My research has helped to develop the first one-handed injector for lens implants (Passport), the Jarstad Cataract surgery marker, the Jarstad-Stone teaching head and cataract surgery simulator, a new instrument for cracking a dense cataract for use in developing countries (patent applied for), and a less expensive treatment for keratoconus using high dose dietary riboflavin and natural UV light.

My area of surgical expertise is in bladeless laser and Microincision cataract surgery and “premium” intraocular lens implants. I’ve performed over 30,000 cataract procedures along with more than 10,000 hours of laser vision and LASIK procedures.

I have lectured on cataract and lasik surgery all over the world and was excited to have my research win top US paper in cataract surgery at the American Society of Cataract & Refractive (LASIK) Surgeon’s Annual Meeting in 2018 in Washington DC.
