More about Dr. Howard Bruckner, MD
Augusta Ophthalmologist Howard L. Bruckner, MD, is the Founder and Medical/Surgical Director of the Academy of Cataract and Laser Surgery. He is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon who has been in private practice since 1973, and has constantly demonstrated his commitment to putting his patients first, developing and practicing innovative techniques only when they can definitively be shown to improve the patients’ vision.
Trained to perform keratomileusis before the invention of LASIK, he was a member of the International society of Refractive Keratoplasty and a founding member of the Kerato-Refractive Society. He was a practitioner and instructor of LASIK during its earliest days, but rejected the technique because of its side effects and unpredictable results. However, with the improvement of technology and techniques, he believes LASIK is finally reliable and consistent enough to recommend to virtually every eligible patient. Now, he uses a unique combination of the best available technologies, the Allegretto WaveLight System and the IntraLase iLasik system, to provide his patients consistent, predictable, and life-enriching results.
