Choosing a vision correction option isn't a one-size-fits-all decision. What works well for someone today may change as their vision and eye health evolve.

It was a pleasure speaking with the Eye Surgery Today team about these considerations and why understanding your options is an important part of making an informed decision.

What works for your vision today may not be the right option years from now. Age, eye health, and individual vision needs all play a role in choosing the right approach.

I enjoyed discussing these topics with the Eye Surgery Today team and sharing information to help patients feel more informed when exploring vision correction.

Thank you for having me!

Great to see my good friend Ash Agarwal again! Beyond being a talented surgeon, he’s someone I have tremendous respect for as a person.

Ophthalmology has given me so much more than professional opportunities. It has introduced me to wonderful people and created friendships that continue across continents and decades. These meaningful connections are one of the most rewarding parts of being in this field.

Always a pleasure catching up with good friends and colleagues!

What are your options if you want to reduce your dependence on glasses? And how can those options change as you get older?

I had a great time joining Eye Surgery Today for a special interview where we discussed these questions and talked about different approaches to vision correction.

I’m always happy to be part of conversations that help patients better understand their choices. A huge thank you to the Eye Surgery Today team for having me and for the great work they’re doing to educate patients about eye care, eye surgery, and vision correction.

Patient education matters. The more people understand their options, the more confident they can feel when having conversations with their eye care provider.

Thank you again for the invitation. It was a pleasure to be part of it! 👁️

Thinking about cataract surgery? Let’s talk about trifocal IOLs. 👁️

A trifocal intraocular lens is designed to provide vision at three distances: distance, intermediate, and near after cataract surgery. For some patients, this type of lens may help reduce dependence on glasses for certain everyday activities.

But a trifocal IOL isn’t the right choice for everyone. Your eye health, lifestyle, vision needs, and expectations all matter when discussing lens options.

At Manhattan Eye, we take the time to explain how different IOLs work and help you understand which options may be appropriate for your individual needs.

Have questions about trifocal IOLs? Contact our team to learn more. https://www.manhattaneynyc.com Or call: (212) 634-9644

It was a pleasure to present at the New York IOL Society dinner, where I had the opportunity to share my experience with the BVI FineVision lens and discuss the optics behind trifocal technology.

As one of the first physicians in the country to offer this technology, I was especially pleased to share outcomes from my own patients and discuss what I’ve seen in practice.

We also explored the optical principles of trifocal lenses and how they can contribute to vision at different distances.

Thank you to the New York IOL Society for the opportunity to share experiences, exchange ideas, and connect with colleagues who continue to advance lens technology and patient care.

What if you could see more clearly without reaching for your glasses all the time?

Today’s cataract surgery offers more than simply removing a cloudy lens. Lens options can be selected based on your vision needs, with some designed to provide correction for distance, intermediate, and near vision.

Every surgery is carefully customized, with attention to precision, comfort, and the patient’s individual goals.

Working with women in ophthalmology is always a great experience. There’s an incredible opportunity to collaborate, share knowledge, encourage one another, and build meaningful professional relationships all while enjoying the moments along the way.

Thank you, Ashley Brissette and Elissa Kirley, for the collaboration, conversation, and fun. Looking forward to more opportunities to learn and work together! 👁️

One of the things I value most about working at Manhattan Eye is having a team I can rely on in the operating room.

Cataract surgery requires coordination between the surgeon, scrub nurses, anesthesiologists, and the technology being used. Before every procedure, we take the time to review the details and make sure everything is properly prepared.

Here we are finalizing the settings for femtosecond-assisted laser cataract surgery. These behind-the-scenes steps may look small, but they are an important part of preparing for surgery.

Grateful for the team that helps make it all come together.

My first photography show is finally here. 📸

My work is inspired by people, places, movement, and the stories that appear when you simply slow down and observe. It feels especially meaningful to have my first show in Tribeca, the neighborhood I call home.

I’m also very happy that all proceeds from the show will go to the Himalayan Cataract Project, Orbis, and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. ❤️

If you're in the area, please come by, see the work, and support these wonderful organizations. The show will be up through the end of September.
