With that in mind, there are many benefits to having your primary eye care professional and surgeon, like Dr. Abrams, seeing you for all of your eye care and eye surgery needs.

Diagnostic and Surgical Skill Development: During his numerous hours in the ER, Dr. Abrams has seen just about every kind of eye injury and trauma possible. In assessing injuries and implementing immediate treatment, he’s built a wealth of knowledge to where anything he sees he can quickly diagnose and precise surgical care.
