Drs. Randy J. Epstein and Parag A. Majmudar were honored to present a course on “Refractive Lens Surgery” at the Midwest Eyecare Conference, a large national meeting for eyecare professionals, held at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Rosemont on 5/9/08. They were the only refractive surgeons invited to participate in this meeting.

Drs. Epstein and Majmudar have also been accepted into the “TrustedLASIKSurgeons.com” website. This is a by invitation-only group of nationally recognized LASIK surgeons, selected on the basis of experience and involvement in academic activities. Only a handful of LASIK specialists from each metropolitan area are selected for this honor, which also recognizes the fact that these surgeons use only the latest technology, and offer their patients the full complement of refractive surgery options.
