At that time, he co-developed specialized surgical instrumentation to reduce astigmatism after corneal transplantation surgery whose basic principals have been used extensively over the past 30 years by surgeons performing these procedures worldwide. After this fellowship, Dr. Rothman completed a three-year residency in Ophthalmology at Center for Sight, Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC where he further developed his expertise in surgical instrument design and development. He then obtained sub-specialty training in Refractive Surgery, Cornea, and External Disease during a fellowship at Cornea Consultants, affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston where he worked closely with Kenneth R. Kenyon, M.D., former Director of the Cornea Service at the Infirmary and one of the premier corneal and refractive surgeons in Boston. As a result of his refractive experience in the 1980’s, Dr. Rothman became one of the earliest excimer laser certified surgeons in Northern California in 1995. Soon after, he accepted a position as Regional Medical Director of the Beacon Eye Institute in Atlanta where he further developed his expertise in this sub-specialty. During the past 21 years, Dr. Rothman has been involved with several prominent practices specializing in laser vision correction including his role as Senior Surgeon and California Medical Director for one of the largest international laser vision correction clinics in North America.
