Bio
David
Huang, MD, PhD is the Director of the Doheny Laser Vision Center,
Charles C. Manger III, MD Chair of Corneal Laser Surgery, and Associate
Professor of Ophthalmology & Biomedical Engineering at the University
of Southern California. He performs LASIK and PRK with the CustomVue
technology for the correction of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness
(hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia. For patients who cannot
have laser vision correction, he also performs Intacs intracorneal
implants, Verisyse phakic intraocular lens implants, astigmatic
keratotomy (AK), and natural lens replacement procedures. He is
also widely consulted for complications of LASIK, corneal transplantation
and other corneal surgeries.
Dr.
Huang earned his MD degree from Harvard Medical School. He completed
ophthalmology residency training at the Doheny Eye Institute, University
of Southern California, and fellowship training in Corneal Diseases
and Refractive Surgery at Emory University. He also earned a PhD
degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the field
of Medical Engineering and Medical Physics. As part of the PhD research,
Dr. Huang co-invented optical coherence tomography (OCT), a high-resolution
cross-sectional imaging technology that is now indispensable in
the diagnosis of eye diseases. His PhD research also included development
of femtosecond lasers, which are now widely used in corneal and
refractive surgery. He is one of a very few doctors with deep understanding
of laser surgery from both a clinical and engineering perspective.
Dr.
Huang is well known for his research and teaching in refractive
surgery, laser and imaging technologies. The National Institute
of Health (NIH) has awarded him 4 research grants totaling over
8 million dollars. He has produced over 70 scientific articles and
book chapters, 8 patented inventions and 2 books. He has taught
19 instruction courses at the American Academy of Ophthalmology
and delivered 99 conference presentations and 44 invited lectures.
For
his contributions to ophthalmology, Dr. Huang has been recognized
with the Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
For his excellence in clinical care, Dr. Huang has been voted by
his peers as one of the Top Doctors in America. Most recently, he
received an endowed chair at the University of Southern California.
Dr. Charles C. Manger III, MD, a pioneer in refractive surgery himself,
endowed the Chair in Corneal Laser Surgery to support Dr. Huang’s
continuing research in improving the safety of corneal laser surgery
and developing new laser surgery options for patients with corneal
diseases.
