Find a Cataract Surgeon

The Trusted Cataract Surgeons™ profiled in our directory are among the best cataract surgeons you can find.  

We estimate that many, if not most of the profiled  eye surgeons featured at Trusted Cataract Surgeons™ have professional credentials and accomplishments as recognized by their fellow ophthalmologists that would  place them among top 1% of cataract and refractive surgeons in the United States. 

Trusted Cataract Surgeons™ is committed to listing only highly qualified cataract and refractive surgeons. 

While we typically list surgeons only, we also include some highly regarded university and private practice laser eye vision centers provided they have one or more eye surgeons who meet most of the qualifications used in our screening process. We are very selective and the process can takes some time. 

If we have not listed a expert cataract surgeon in your area yet, you may want email the eye surgeons nearest to you from our directory and ask them for a referral.  Because some of our listed and qualified eye surgeons have been instructors, have been or are professors, they often know a highly skilled and qualified eye surgeon that is closer to you. 

Cataract surgeons who have been screened by Trusted Cataract Surgeons^TM are featured with profile pages.  As a public service, we do also list cataract surgeons who we believe meet our criteria, but who may have not been fully screened yet or are in process.  For surgeons listed but not profile in our directory, we link to their practice webpage. Because Trusted Cataract Surgeons™ has not screened all surgeons that may be listed in our directory , we make no representation as to their experience or qualifications and we advise you to do your own research.

We estimate that many, if not most of the cataract and laser-assisted cataract surgeons featured in our directories have professional qualifications that would place them among the top 1% when compared to other cataract and refractive surgeons in the United States.  

How do we make our estimates?  

We believe that professional credentials and accomplishments of eye surgeons best demonstrate their qualifications because such standards are measured by and then compared among their peers. Our estimates are based on the following professional accomplishments: being the first to perform a refractive procedure in the United States or a particular city or state in the U.S., the number of FDA studies participated in as an investigator, faculty appointments at the department of ophthalmology of a medical school or teaching hospital, the number of professional lectures and publications authored (research articles, text book chapters, textbooks and lectures), professional honors and awards, editorial and reviewer positions, and other special accomplishments such as inventions and patents.

Of the other cataract surgeons listed in the Trusted Cataract Surgeons™ Directory, most have professional credentials that we estimate 5% of all cataract and refractive surgeons in the United States would have and those cataract surgeons who we do not think are among the top 5% would place among the top 10%.

In most of these instances, these refractive surgeons may not have a faculty appointment in an ophthalmology department at a university (since they may live in a smaller city), have not conducted a major FDA study as an investigator, or have not lectured and published extensively.

These cataract and LASIK surgeons are still highly accomplished since they will have made contributions to the field of refractive surgery through their research and other criteria used by Trusted Cataract Surgeons™ to qualify them for inclusion in our directory.

Consequently, these cataract surgeons have professional credentials that set them above the vast majority of other cataract surgeons in the United States.
