Eye Clear Up LASIK and Cataract Surgery with Dr. Dagny Zhu

Friends of Franz

The beauty of the world can be appreciated with our eyes, but problems with our sense of vision can reduce the clarity and quality of this wonder, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and complete blindness. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, over 150 million Americans wear glasses and about 37 million wear contact lenses to correct daily eyesight issues. In hopes of long-term treatment of refractive errors and achieving 20/20 vision, laser eye surgeries, such as Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) and Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), are performed.

We are joined today by Dr. Dagny Zhu, a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained specialist in cornea, cataract, and laser refractive surgery. She received her BS in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology as Summa Cum Laude from UCLA in 2008, MD from Harvard Medical School in 2012, Ophthalmology Residency at the University of Southern California-affiliated Doheny Eye Institute in 2016, and Cornea and Refractive Surgery fellowship at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in 2017, the #1 ranked eye hospital in the nation. Dr. Zhu currently stands as the Medical Director of NVISION's Hyperspeed LASIK in Rowland Heights, CA. In the academic realm, she is an admissions interviewer at Harvard College and an instructor of Ophthalmology and Optometry at USC Roski Eye Institute, Western University, and Marshall B. Ketchum University. She harnesses her medical expertise as a consultant and advisory board for Springer Nature Group, Radius XR, Eyesafe, Verywell, Alcon, LENSAR, and Visus Therapeutics. Dr. Zhu has been featured in over 200 scientific journal articles, book chapters, and national conferences, as seen in the Today Show, Huffington Post, Yahoo News, and CNN.
