About
Dr. Lewis
Dr. Lewis performed Pennsylvania’s first Visian ICL in 2003.
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.
Some patients are too nearsighted for LASIK or Epi-LASIK. Some can’t have any surgery on their cornea because of underlying irregular astigmatism. Finally some patient’s don’t have enough corneal thickness for laser vision correction. Staar Surgical, INC, developed the Visian Intraocular Contact Lens (Visian ICL) for these patients over a decade ago. The Visian ICL is implanted behind the iris in a suture-free procedure that takes 5 minutes. Vision is restored almost immediately and patients have no visual fluctuation or regression over time.
The Visian ICL is made of a special biocompatible material known as Collamer. It has outstanding optical properties and has been used in millions of cataract surgeries. The Visian ICL is maintenance free and invisible to the naked eye. Visual results have been so outstanding that some patients choose the Visian ICL over LASIK and Epi-LASIK. Patients like the complete absence of dry eye, glare, halos, and night driving difficulties. Some like the concept that the cornea is not being reshaped. Contrast sensitivity studies and wavefront analysis explain the incredible patient satisfaction with this refractive surgical technique.
