Personal: I deal with difficult eye problems that involve the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids. For many years I have specialized in the care of dry, sore and irritable eyes - the sort of eyes that many physicians don't want to see. I am actively involved in research into the causes and treatments of these disorders. I firmly believe that my chief role is to educate my patients in the cause of their eye problem and then, with the individual, design a plan to deal with the cause of their discomfort. I am a Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Minnesota Medical …School and listed in the "Best Doctors in America". I am a husband, father of three and an avid hockey player.
