Raleigh LASIK Eye Surgeon to Speak in Japan

A leading Raleigh area LASIK surgeon has been invited to speak at an ophthalmology meeting in Osaka, Japan later this month. Dr. Dean Dornic of the Laser Eye Center of Carolina has investigated differences in all-laser LASIK technologies and will be presenting his findings at the 25th anniversary meeting of the Japanese Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Dornic has lectured at several national and international meetings but this is his first time to lecture in Japan. "I'm very excited to be able to share my findings at such a prestigious meeting and look forward to the opportunity to interact with my colleagues in Asia" said Dornic.

Dr. Dornic will depend on translators to convey his findings and has already sent his slides ahead for translation in preparation for his June 26th talk.
