Dr. Richard Maw's Bio and Credentials
Richard Maw, M.D. is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He has performed over 34,000 LASIK procedures since 1999. He was fellowship-trained at the Harvard Medical School and received his medical degree from the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Dr. Maw has been trusted to perform LASIK on friends, family, doctors, surgeons (including other eye surgeons), lawyers, military fighter pilots, commercial airline pilots, Olympic athletes, and professional athletes. He has also had LASIK himself.
He has performed extensive research in ophthalmology and published numerous articles in peer review journals. He has presented dozens of scientific papers on LASIK to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the International Society of Refractive Surgery, and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Dr. Maw was among the first doctors in the world to prove that using larger optical zones during LASIK reduces the occurrence of night glare, and one of the first doctors in the Northeast to perform LASIK for hyperopia and hyperopia with astigmatism. He has participated in FDA monitored clinical trials for LASIK for hyperopia, LASIK for hyperopia with astigmatism, and scleral expansion band placement for the reversal of presbyopia with Dr. Soloway at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.

LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I was super nervous, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I made it out to be in my mind. They staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions. I especially enjoyed getting to chat with Alyssa and Savannah my first day for consultation and then Sydney on the day of surgery. They made me feel very at ease.
The team in the office was amazing! They were all very welcoming and had great personalities! The people make the place better and the procedure was quick and easy. Great place. I even got snacks so that was cool. Felt like Spider-Man when I woke up being able to see without glasses; so if you’re trying to have that same vibe this is the place to go!
Same day consultation and procedure. Everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions I had and gave me a lot of information for after care. I felt confident in their abilities and I am happy with the results
