Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons were the first surgeons in the Washington area to become
involved with laser vision correction in 1991. Washington Eye surgeons have been interviewed as
laser vision correction experts by The Today Show, Good Morning America, USA Today, Consumer Digest,
CNN News, ABC News, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Newsweek, Men's Health, and many others. Because of their
international reputation, in addition to their renown in the
LASIK DC community,
patients have traveled from more than 70 countries to have their vision corrected
by these surgeons.
Marwa A. Adi, MD, Neil F. Martin, MD, and Roy Rubinfeld, MD, are board-certified ophthalmologists
who specialize in vision correction surgery. Named "Top Doctors" by Washingtonian Magazine,
these expert surgeons all have additional subspecialty fellowship training in cornea and refractive surgery
and have performed a combined total of more than 20,000 laser vision correction procedures.
Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons have a tradition of providing the highest quality
eye care to their patients for more than 50 years. This superior patient care continues
as the surgeons focus on the best possible visual outcomes for LASIK, PRK, Epi-LASIK, and other vision correction surgery.

Dr. Rubinfeld on Laser Eye Surgery and Vision Care, Quoted in USA Today
"If you promote it as if it's a haircut, then you're not being genuine. That's one of the reasons there are more lawsuits,
simply because people's expectations are that it's low-risk," says Dr. Roy Rubinfeld of Chevy Chase, Md., who's had the
procedure himself and performed it on his wife. "This is surgery. As with all surgeries, the results are dependent on the skills,
experience, judgment and ethics of the surgeon."
More About Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons
Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons offer state-of-the-art technology for LASIK and other types of vision correction surgery. For LASIK surgery, they use the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ from Wavelight. The ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ represents
a breakthrough in customized LASIK technology. This laser is the first to be "wavefront optimized" so that night vision is frequently improved for many patients compared with the way they saw with glasses or contacts. The laser beam profile and eye-tracking
system are specifically designed for maintaining the corneal curvature for each individual patient, thereby reducing common
night vision problems of glare and halos, even for those who have large pupils.
Washington Eye surgeons are also innovators in performing no-stitch, no-injection, small-incision surgery with the crystalens
and ReSTOR lens. These lenses can simultaneously correct for near and distance vision. The practice also provides comprehensive
eye care services including treatment for glaucoma, cataracts, other eye diseases, and cosmetic and reconstructive eye surgery.
