Dr. Jeffrey S. Rohr is the Medical Director and Chief Surgeon of the Rohr Eye & Laser Center. Each of the staff members has been handpicked and personally trained by Dr. Rohr to provide optimum patient care. For LASIK surgery, Dr. Rohr uses the most advanced laser technology, Alcon Wavelight (the world leader in eye care technology). This system provides a precise measurement of the corneal curvature and then creates a customized and individualized laser ablation profile to reshape the cornea. In addition to LASIK, Dr. Rohr also offers LASEK, PRK, AK, and CK (conductive keratoplasty to correct presbyopia) surgery to reshape the cornea and correct vision. Dr. Rohr also provides state-of-the-art, gentle, no-needle, no-stitch cataract surgery. Patients have several different lens options, including the most advanced multifocal IOL (intraocular lens) that simultaneously corrects for both near and distance vision after cataract surgery.
