Laser Vision Correction
Meet Your LASIK Surgeon
Howard S. Kornstein, MD is one of the most experienced refractive surgeons in the Tri-State area and was one of the first New York ophthalmologists to have his own vision corrected with LASIK. Dr. Kornstein graduated from Brown University and Brown University Medical School. After training at Harvard in Internal Medicine, he completed a residency in Ophthalmology at New York University Medical Center. Dr. Kornstein then did an extra fellowship year of subspecialty training at NYU in Cornea and Refractive Surgery. He is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Dr. Kornstein serves as Clinical Instructor in Ophthalmology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at New York Medical College.
Dr. Kornstein has performed over 17,000 successful laser vision procedures (LASIK, LASEK, PRK) using the VISX Star S4 excimer laser, which has wavefront capability for customized treatments. Dr. Kornstein also treats keratoconus using Intacs corneal inserts and was the first New York ophthalmologist to combine Intacs with the Intralase laser for a safer, more precise surgery. He also treats presbyopia (age-related reading difficulty) with conductive keratoplasty (CK). He performs no-stitch cataract surgery and is certified to implant multifocal and toric intraocular lenses. Dr. Kornstein is affiliated with Mount Sinai Medical Center, White Plains Hospital and Westchester Medical Center and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He is also a member of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the New York Keratorefractive Society and the New York Intraocular Lens Implant Society.
“Surgical skill and advanced technology are only meaningful when a complete evaluation reveals a solid safety profile. My formula for success starts with selecting the most qualified patients for LASIK.”
