Robert F. Haverly, M.D., F.A.C.S.,
World-Class Eye Care
in Erie
W
e live in a visual world full of information coming
at us with every ray of light. That’s why, when you
start having problems with your eyesight, you don’t
want to trust just anyone. You need a doctor who’s dedicated to
and experienced in the science of ophthalmology. And Robert
F. Haverly, M.D., F.A.C.S., at Laser Eye Surgery of Erie is just that
doctor.
A Cornell University undergraduate and magna cum laude
graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo School of
Medicine, Dr. Haverly not only was the past chief resident at the
University of Texas Health Science Center
in San Antonio, he also won several awards
for outstanding research at the University
of Texas and completed a fellowship in
vitreoretinal surgery. He moved to Erie in
1998 to be closer to family, but never left
the forefront of ophthalmology, serving
as president of the Erie County Medical
Society and sitting on the editorial board for several prominent
medical journals. His dedication to the field means that Laser Eye
Surgery of Erie can offer patients services that they would be hard
pressed to find, outside of top medical centers like the Cleveland
Clinic or the University of Pittsburgh.
“We truly provide the world’s top technology for eye surgery
here in Erie that nobody else can do. It’s unsurpassed, and the
safest, most advanced current technology available for procedures

such as laser cataract surgery or vision correction with Lasik and
PRK,” Dr. Haverly said. “We do clinical trials here to develop and
improve eye surgery and technology to make things safer and
give patients better results.”
As the first doctor in Erie to provide Lasik procedures, Dr.
Haverly said his drive to stay on the leading edge of the field is the
same thing that drives him as a physician: to help patients.
“It sounds cliche, but it’s true. I want to make things safer for my
patients. Every year that goes by, I refuse to settle for what I did
last year or the year before,” he explained. “I get tired of doctors
who say, ‘I’ve done things this way for 25 years. Why do I need to
change?’ You need to change in order to give your patients the
best care available.”
In addition to Lasik, Laser Eye Surgery of Erie is the premier
facility to treat cataracts, glaucoma or keratoconus, and to have
retinal surgeries, cornea transplants, and even cutting-edge
corneal crosslinking procedures that could eliminate the need for
corneal transplants altogether.
It’s no wonder Dr. Haverly has been voted in the top 100
refractive surgeons nationwide every year since 1999 and Laser
Eye Surgery of Erie has consistently been voted one of the top 50
Lasik/PRK practices in the country.
