A pioneer in Laser Eye Surgery
After qualifying as a LASIK surgeon, Doctor Reinstein joined a research project at Cornell University, New York. There he discovered that ultrasound could be used to scan the surface of the cornea to within one micron–1/1000 of a millimetre.
Excited by the possibilities of developing safer, more accurate Laser Eye Surgery, the young Dan Reinstein built a prototype of what would become the Artemis™ scanner–now the world’s most accurate corneal scanner. Immediately he became the only person in the world equipped to identify the causes of complications in early Laser Eye Surgery.
