At the Belmont Eye Center, we recognize that eyesight is a precious asset and that choosing a LASIK surgeon in NYC to perform your laser vision correction procedure is a very important decision. You need an ophthalmologist that is well trained, has extensive experience, and comes highly recommended by doctors and patients. With so many Lasik surgeons to choose from, how do you know which one to trust with your vision?

To help you make this critical decision, here are some important factors to keep in mind when choosing your PRK surgeon or Lasik surgeon in NYC.

Your LASIK NYC surgeon should have significant experience — you do not want to be one of your surgeon’s first LASIK patients.

Dr. Belmont has been treating Manhattan LASIK patients for more than 25 years. She has performed tens of thousands of vision correction procedures on a variety of patients, from pilots to doctors, celebrities to dignitaries. Dr. Belmont was one of the first eye doctors in the U.S. to collaborate with the FDA to study the safety and efficacy of the excimer laser for refractive eye surgery. She is a clinical associate professor of ophthalmology and Director of the Resident Refractive Surgical Education Program at the New York University School of Medicine and has surgical privileges at both of New York’s preeminent eye specialty hospitals, Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat Hospital and the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.

Finally, your chosen laser eye surgeon should come highly recommended by doctors and patients who are thrilled with their results.

Widely considered one of New York’s leading Lasik Surgeon in NYC, Dr. Belmont is highly sought after for her LASIK expertise and great knowledge of all types of laser vision correction surgery. Trusted above others by doctors wanting to undergo LASIK, PRK, or other laser vision correction procedures, she is the doctor of choice for the scientists and engineers who helped to develop the excimer laser for refractive eye surgery, as well as notable celebrities. Dr. Belmont’s laser vision correction procedures on Regis Philbin and ‘The Tonight Show’ host, Jimmy Fallon were nationally broadcast. Her corneal transplants on Mandy Patinkin, star of cable tv’s ‘Homeland’ were part of his inspiration to become a spokesman for The Eye Bank for Sight Restoration, of which Dr. Belmont serves as a member of its medical advisory board. Friends, family and tens of thousands of patients from all walks of life steadfastly agree with Jimmy Fallon in proclaiming, “Doctor Belmont, you are the greatest!”
