since 1996.
Dr. James Lewis is a graduate of Princeton University and Thomas Jefferson Medical College where he won awards in Ophthalmology and Research. He served as chief resident during his third year at Duke University Eye Center where he was offered a faculty position. Instead he travelled to South Australia for subspecialty training in Corneal and Refractive Surgery. He returned in 1990 and became Director of Cornea and Anterior Segment Surgery at Hahnemann University, in Philadelphia. He also served as Corneal Consultant to the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.
Dr. Lewis published the landmark article on Intraocular Lens Insertion without capsular support and has lectured and published extensively on this topic. He also developed instruments for suture management in corneal transplantation.
In 2004 Dr. Lewis became the Director of Cornea, Cataract, and Refracive Surgery for what is now Salus University. He teaches LASIK, Corneal Surgery, and Cataract diagnosis and management to hundreds of eye doctors each year.
Dr. Lewis has participated in FDA clinical trials for AMO, Morcher, Moria, and Staar. He is the first surgeon in the Delaware Valley to implant Staar's Visian ICL (Intraocular Contact Lens) and is one of 7 surgeons in the country selected for Staar's Collamer Accommodation Study Team.
Dr. Lewis was the first LASIK surgeon to investigate the Moria SBK microkeratome. His findings led to the approval and release of this device. He lectures on microkeratome flap creation at the American Academy of Ophthalmology, America Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, The World Ophthalmology Congress, and the European Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
Finally, Dr. Lewis contributes extensively to Eyetube, an Eye Doctor Only Video Sharing website for teaching surgical techniques and disease management.
In addition to helping LASIK Philadelphia patients realize their dreams of clear vision without glasses, Dr. Lewis offers Epi-LASIK in Philadelphia. This variation of LASIK is an excellent option for patients whose corneas are too thin for LASIK. For individuals who desire to reduce their dependence on glasses but do not qualify for any type of laser eye surgery, Dr. Lewis offers Visian ICLs. He has extensive experience with these intraocular contact lenses and is regarded as a foremost Visian ICL Philadelphia/ Bucks County specialist.

The cost of LASIK should never dictate your choice of LASIK surgeon. On the other hand it is easy to assume that paying more gets you more.
You can pay $4000 - $6000 for a surgeon with less experience, less training, less skill and less advanced equipment. In fact you can pay that kind of money for a mobile excimer laser. Finally, one discount corporate LASIK chain, claims to charge $899 an eye but after meeting with the sales team and financial counsellors, 85% are "upsold" to $4000 LASIK.
In summary, do your home work. Assess the surgeon's experience, reputation, training, affiliations, diagnostic equipment, laser, microkeratome, and surgical techniques. Separate fact from hype. Get the best value and the best results from this exciting and life changing experience.
