Our founder and expert surgeon, Professor Dan Reinstein, has been named the world’s number one LASIK expert – and we couldn’t be prouder!

Professor ReinsteinThis honour has been bestowed by Expertscape – the world’s leading index of academic achievement and expertise in healthcare. The results are based on an analysis of over 27,000 biomedical topics, evaluating publications for their scientific impact and footprint.

Professor Reinstein, who founded London Vision Clinic in 2002, has thus been named as the top-rated expert in two categories relating to Laser Eye Surgery: LASIK (Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis) and Laser Corneal Surgery.

Take a look below to see how Professor Reinstein was rated the top Laser Corneal expert in the UK and worldwide in 2019 – a title he retains to this day!

Expertise in Laser Corneal Surgery

While we are no doubt proud of Dr Dan’s position on this index, we can’t say we’re surprised. Professor Reinstein is one of the only doctors in the world to have dedicated his career to the advancement of Laser Refractive Surgery. To this end, he has contributed to the development of some of the most revolutionary technologies and techniques in the field.

This includes improving pre-operative screening with the use of the Artemis Insight 100 VHF digital ultrasound scanner. Not to mention the development of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision – a revolutionary laser treatment for presbyopia (ageing eyes). It makes sense, then, that London Vision Clinic is also categorised as the leading UK clinic in this procedure.

Alongside his team, Professor Reinstein is also the co-author of the most authoritative textbook on SMILE Laser Eye Surgery: The Surgeon’s Guide to SMILE: Small Incision Lenticule Extraction.
