He stays up to date on the latest developments in advanced technology and presbyopia-correcting lenses in the treatment of cataracts, LASIK and PRK refractive surgery, and phakic intraocular lenses. His clinical interests include cornea transplantation, keratoconus, lens exchanges, and iris repairs. He is a member of the Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Dr Tian believes in using the most cutting-edge technology backed by the latest evidence-based data to provide the best possible care for his patients’ vision. Dr. Tian now sees patients as part of ICON Eyecare, continuing the same trusted care previously provided through Omni Eye Specialists.
Dr. Tian enjoys playing the piano, hiking, and watching basketball. He also likes to play table tennis and pickleball.
“I chose ophthalmology because it is so rewarding to see the results of successfully improving or preserving a patient’s vision. There is so much an eye surgeon can do, especially for a detail-oriented personality like my own. Previously permanently blinding conditions can now be treated with technology like surgically replacing endothelial and stem cells to clear up a cornea, creatively bending light rays to treat presbyopia, molecular cross-linking to stabilize a cornea, and an endless field of innovative surgical techniques. Beyond the United States, the easily treatable blinding conditions in so many impoverished countries throughout the world offered even more potential for improvement and purpose.”
