I Homer MD director
drhomer@lowvisionsolutions.net
Dr. Homer has had a long and distinguished career in the eye care field.
He received his M.D. Degree from the University of Illinois in 1976. He
did his internship at the University of Miami and specialty training in
Ophthalmology and Eye Surgery at the University of Illinois Eye and Ear
Infirmary. He furthered his education in retinal disease while doing a
fellowship with Retina Associates and the Schepens Eye Research Institute,
Harvard Medical School. He published a number of papers in the field of
eye disease while in medical school and thereafter. He has been recognized
in the Who’s Who of Ophthalmology. He was recognized by his peers
“South Florida’s Top Doctors" in the years 1986 ,1997
,1998 ,2000 and 2001. He has also been recognized in the Consumer’s
Guide to Top Doctors as one of the “Top Doctors in America”
in the category of Ophthalmology. Although the majority of his clinical
career was devoted to general Ophthalmology , cataract surgery and laser
surgery, his focus starting in 1992 was mostly on retinal diseases including
macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. It was this involvement
in these two diseases which are the number one and two leading causes
of visual impairment in adults in this country, that lead to his current
interest in visual rehabilitation . Service and professionalism in a caring
atmosphere were his core priorities while he was in clinical practice
and are continuing to be his highest priority in this new capacity. Dr
Homer will be working as a consultant for those individuals with impaired
or low vision and will not be replacing their regular provider of eye
care.
