"Vision Correction Clearly Ahead of the Curve"
What defines a market leader? In any given locale, only one surgeon can be considered the innovator in a specific field of medicine. Dr. Allan Robbins has been a pioneer in the field of laser eye surgery for the past two decades.
In the early 1990's, Dr. Robbins became a principal investigator for VISX during the FDA clinical trials for PRK. In 1997, Dr. Robbins helped introduce LASIK to the Rochester, New York market. Two years later, he was the first laser eye surgeon in Upstate NY to insert INTACS (corneal ring segments) for the correction of myopia. In June of 2000, Dr. Robbins was the very first ophthalmologist in the area to treat myopia with a new generation, computer controlled, flying spot laser.
In 2001, Dr. Robbins introduced LADARVision to Upstate New York. Utilizing technology designed for the Star Wars program and NASA, computers for the very first time are able to track the rapid saccadic eye movements and deliver the laser energy as precisely as a missile homing in on its target. Again, Dr. Robbins is the first laser vision correction surgeon in the Upstate New York area to utilize this technology which is available exclusively in the Rochester, NY area at Robbins Laser Site.
In April of 2003, Dr. Robbins introduced the first wavefront-guided CustomCornea treatments for myopia. Robbins Laser Site is one of the first facilities in the entire Northeast to provide a truly customized treatment for both lower and higher order optical aberrations of the entire visual system.
Dr. Robbins is certified and experienced with the VISX Star, Summit Apex Plus, Technolas 217, LaserSight LSX and Autonomous LADARVision 4000 excimer lasers. His microkeratome experience includes the Chiron ACS, Bausch and Lomb Hansatome, Moria CB and LSK One.
