Curriculum Vitae
Biography
For more than a decade, Dr. Barry Seibel has concentrated
on refractive eye surgery, especially cataract
surgery and lens implant surgery.
He is a dedicated teacher who has given more than 180 eye surgery lectures
in over twenty countries on six continents, and he has also demonstrated
his surgical technique around the world. These live surgery demonstrations
have been observed via satellite by thousands of eye surgeons in multiple
countries interested in learning Dr. Seibel's
techniques. As the Director of all Surgical Skills Transfer Courses, Dr.
Seibel has played an important teaching role at recent annual meetings of
the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the largest organization
of refractive surgeons in the world.
With
the goal of enhancing safety and comfort for his patients, Dr. Seibel
has invented twenty surgical instruments that have applications for both cataract surgery
and LASIK, and he holds two U.S. Patents. He is one of the few ophthalmologists
in the world to be the sole author and illustrator of a best-selling
textbook on cataract surgery, which is now in its fourth edition and has been translated
into Japanese and Spanish. His textbook, Phacodynamics, is an
international teaching reference for eye surgeons and is frequently quoted
in numerous scientific publications. Dr. Seibel's unique
book provides the foundation for customized cataract surgery, enabling
each operation to be tailored to each individual patient. Currently
in private practice in Los Angeles, Dr.
Seibel offers the latest technology in vision correction, including bladeless
all-laser IntraLASIK as well as lens implants that offer an expanded
range of vision for both distance and reading. He was previously director
of cataract surgery at the Maloney-Seibel Vision Institute. Prior to this,
he was Co-Founder of the Southern California Kaiser Laser Vision
Correction Program and Co-Director of the Los Angeles Laser Vision Correction
Center. He currently holds a faculty appointment as a Clinical Assistant Professor
of Ophthalmology at the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute, where he
was honored by the residents with their annual Teaching Award.
Having received
his medical training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston,
Dr. Seibel went on to complete his residency in Ophthalmology at
USC/Doheny Eye Clinic. He also holds a BA with honors from Rice University,
where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Positions:
Private Practice, Beverly Hill and Los Angeles.
