Dr Daniel Goldberg, a pioneer in Laser eye surgery and the director of vision correction at the Atlantic Laser Vision Center was awarded ‘Top Doctor” by Castle Connolly Medical.

Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. is a healthcare research and information company founded in 1991. Their goal is to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and top hospitals using a detailed survey and comprehensive research

Dr Goldberg’s award recognizes him as one of the best doctors in the field of Ophthalmology. Dr Goldberg is credited as one of the first laser eye surgeons to help bring advanced technologies in the field to the United States. Dr. Daniel Goldberg has a rare dual certification from both the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (an independent, nonprofit, patient and consumer health organization that evaluates and verifies the quality of the surgeries provided by select refractive surgeons in the United States), and the ABES( American Board of Eye Surgeons ). Nationwide, there are less than 10 LASIK surgeons with dual certification by ABES and CRSQA.

Dr Goldberg was a member of the elite team of doctors who performed clinical trials of LASIK in its early stages. This research led to FDA approval of LASIK. In 2000, at the ASCRS(American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons) national meeting, the first large scale study of LASIK monovision was presented by Goldberg and the published paper appeared in 2001 in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Further research by Goldberg resulted in another large study of LASIK monovision which was published in 2003—this work compared results in far-sighted eyes as well as near-sighted eyes. Based on this research, Goldberg made presentations at national meetings on “Succeeding with LASIK Monovision” and taught courses at the ASCRS meetings on “Surgical correction of Presbyopia.”

In April of 2008, Dr Goldberg was recognized at the inaugural training session for Custom Vue Monovision in Chicago for helping to set the stage for the FDA approval of LASIK monovision.
