Sheldon Herzig
Sheldon Herzig is a Canadian ophthalmologist and laser eye surgeon who specializes in surgical vision correction. He is the co-founder and Medical Director of Herzig Eye Institute, a clinic that performs LASIK, PRK and SMILE among other procedures.[1]
Education[edit]
Herzig earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Toronto in 1969. Four years later, he earned his Medical Degree from the University of Toronto. After an internship in Internal Medicine at Women's College Hospital in Toronto, Herzig became a resident of Ophthalmology at his alma mater, the University of Toronto.[2]
In 1977, Herzig became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada.[3] The following year, he traveled to Dallas, Texas to complete a fellowship in Anterior Segment Surgery at Mary Shiels Eye Hospital.[4]
Herzig was named as a Diplomat to the American Board of Ophthalmology and licensed to practice within the state of Texas in 1979.[5]
Career[edit]
Herzig is co-founder of the Herzig Eye Institute alongside Chief Executive Officer, Cherry Tabb,[6] Herzig has treated more than 150,000 patients in Canada, 42 states in the USA and in 23 countries.[7]
Herzig has trained cataract and refractive surgeons.[4] Herzig has been invited to speak at conferences including the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons,[8] the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Meeting,[9] and the Ontario Association of Optometrists.[10]
Herzing was instrumental in preparing the Recommended Guidelines for Laser Refractive Centres in Canada,[11] and has evaluated surgical practices across Canada, assisting the College of Physicians and Surgeons.[12] Serving as the president of the Canadian Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery from 1998 through 2000, Herzig continues to lecture at the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences at the University of Toronto.[13]
Herzig recently[when?] introduced a groundbreaking solution in the area of laser vision correction titled SMILE.[14] The SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) operation is a flap-less and minimally invasive procedure using a femtosecond laser to assist short-sighted patients, astigmatism, thin corneas, and dry eyes or contact lens intolerance.[15] In 2011, the Herzig Eye Institute was the first center in North America to provide Lipiflow, a new treatment system for patients who suffer from Evaporative Dry Eye disease.[16]

Herzig has been published in the Proceedings of the Ophthalmic Advisory Panel[17], Current Canadian Ophthalmic Practice[18], Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery[19], Proceedings of the Second National Speakers[20], Medicopea OAD[21], Ocular Surgery News[8][9], Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology[22], British Journal of Ophthalmology[23], Cornea 2008[24], and the Cataract and Refractive Surgery Today.[25]
