Dr. Chirag Shah, MD.
Dr. Chirag Shah is a board certified, fellowship-trained cornea and
refractive surgeon. He has specialty training in laser refractive surgery
(LASIK and PRK), cataract and corneal transplantation. As a Medical and Surgical
Director of LasikPlus Vision Centers in the Philadelphia area, he has performed
over 30,000 laser refractive surgeries to reduce his patients’ dependence on
glasses and contacts. Dr. Shah uses the latest in laser treatments and pupil
tracking. He uses three different laser platforms (Wavelight/Allegretto and
Visx Customvue lasers) which can offer each patient a customized treatment
based on their individual prescription and unique visual demands. Dr Shah
strongly believes that one laser platform is not appropriate for everyone, and believes
in offering different platforms to maximize his patients’ outcomes and ability
to achieve 20/20 (or better) vision.
Dr. Shah received his medical degree from Rutgers Medical School, and completed
his residency training at NYU Medical Center, specializing in ophthalmology. He
then furthered his training by attaining a sub-specialization in laser
refractive surgery, corneal and cataract surgery at the prestigious Pittsburgh
Eye & Ear Institute at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center. Dr. Shah
has authored numerous articles and routinely lectures about new techniques in
laser surgery.
