Ian Kaden, M.D. is a fellowship trained corneal specialist and board certified ophthalmologist with more than twenty years experience in private practice. He was educated at Brown University, Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He did ophthalmology training at Albert Einstein School of Medicine and a corneal fellowship at the University of Michigan Medical Center. Following his training, Dr. Kaden practiced as a corneal specialist in East Lansing, Michigan and West Orange, NJ. In 1995, he opened his own medical practice in Randolph, New Jersey. Over the past two decades this practice has treated more than twenty thousand patients. Dr. Kaden is widely recognized as an expert in refractive, cataract, and corneal transplant surgeries. As a leader in the field of refractive eye surgery, Dr. Kaden has been active in the field since 1992. Refractive surgery was in its early days then, and radial keratotomy (RK), an incisional technique for reshaping the cornea, was popular. Dr. Kaden trained in RK as a corneal surgery fellow and became a teacher of RK techniques to other ophthalmologists in Michigan and later in New Jersey. In 1994, he joined the Summit Laser team investigating the application of the excimer laser to refractive surgery. Laser refractive surgery ultimately replaced radial keratotomy because of its enhanced safety and accuracy. In 1999, Dr. Kaden became the Chief Surgeon at Pyramid Laser Surgery Center in Manhattan. He performed LASIK surgery there for five years treating over a thousand patients. After leaving the Manhattan center, he focused exclusively on his New Jersey practice. He performs all refractive procedures at the Refractive Surgery Center of the Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center in Livingston, NJ. This ultra-modern facility offers access to state of the art instrumentation for refractive surgery. He now offers all laser custom LASIK surgery at an affordable price in this convenient center.
