Robert P. Liss, M.D., completed one of the few fellowships in the country that combined advanced instruction in cataract, glaucoma, and corneal disease. He was first to bring minimally invasive cataract surgery to our area in 1992, and with “refractive” cataract surgery, has reduced the need for glasses in most patients after cataract surgery. Dr. Liss frequently lectures across the country on the advanced techniques of minimally invasive cataract surgery and other advances in cataract and glaucoma surgical methods. In September 2005, Dr. Liss was given FDA permission to participate in a research protocol and was the first ophthalmologist in the Philadelphia area to successfully implant a synthetic iris. And, in January 2007, Dr. Liss was granted FDA permission to use an implantable device to help secure unstable intraocular lens implants. By pursuing new surgical treatments such as these and frequently participating in clinical trials, Dr. Liss helps keep CCEC on the cutting edge of eye care. Dr. Liss is a member of the prestigious American Glaucoma Society (AGS) with only 500 members worldwide.
