Dr Daniel S. Haddad MD

Dr Haddad´s interest in Ophthalmology began at age 17, while in high school he began volunteering at an Ophthalmology research lab investigating Thyroid eye disease. Dr. Haddad found this field fascinating and decided to pursue a career in ophthalmology. Dr Haddad received his medical degree from New York Medical college. He completed his Ophthalmology residency at Kresge Eye Institute right here in Michigan, and has been serving the Michigan community for 20 years since 1987.

Dr. Haddad is considered a leader in the field of vision correction by colleagues and his patients. Some of his note worthy contributions to the field of Ophthalmology included having developed Custom RK. Reasearch astigmatism and his work on Laser Active Tracker, and his election to president of the Michigan Kerato-Refractive Society.

In the early 1990´s Dr. Haddad improved upon RK (Radial Keratotomy) with what he called Custom RK. Dr. Haddad successfully increased the predictability and safety of the procedure. After perfecting this procedure Dr. Haddad was asked to lecture and train other surgeons across the country.

Shortly after this accomplishment Dr. Haddad was elected as president of the Michigan Kerato-Refractive society for which he served from 1996-1997

In 2002 Dr. Haddad discovered a flaw within the Excimer laser´s active eye tracking. This flaw involved decentration with the tracker. His paper documenting this was awarded best paper at ASCRS (American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery) helped doctors avoid complications and prompted laser manufactures to change their active trackers.

When CustomVue was being introduced in the US in 2003 Dr. Haddad realized this technology was light years ahead of what was currently available and quickly adopted it as his standard for Laser Vision Correction. The Laser Eye Institute was one of the first vision correction centers in the state to utilize the CustomVue, and then Iris Registration technology. Dr. Haddad now has more experience with the CustomVue technology than any other doctor in Michigan.

 

Above all Dr. Haddad attributes his great success to his old fashioned doctoring skills.

Dr. haddad also follows up with his patients during their post-op period to insure the best results!
