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 Continued on next page > 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.
