Dr. Minkovitz participated in the early research on Excimer Laser photorefractive surgery (PRK) beginning in 1994. He has offered this procedure to his Wilmington patients since FDA approval in 1996. In 2016, Dr. Minkovitz founded Laser Vision Delaware, LLC, once again raising the bar and bringing a newer, faster and more accurate refractive laser to Delaware, making this technology available to other surgeons as well. In addition to laser vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, Dr Minkovitz performs the most advanced cataract surgery, including the newest laser cataract surgery and premium lens implants for astigmatism correction. He is also one of only a few Delaware surgeons trained in corneal transplants, and he thoroughly screens for and treats a variety of eye diseases.
Together with his Center for Advanced Surgical Arts partner and co-founder, Dr. Minkovitz introduced laser cataract surgery to Wilmington, Delaware in 2012, bringing the first LensX laser to Delaware. This adds to other Delaware firsts for Dr. Minkovitz, including PRK laser vision correction, CK for near vision, and DSAEK, DMEK and DALK corneal transplants.

Out standing doctor
I always think this group is thorough but I usually spend two hours plus there, most of it WAITING. Wednesday, I was in and out about half an hour. I appreciated that!
Dr was great, but scheduling needs to improve drastically. My appointment was for 3:20 pm , I wasn’t seen until near 5 pm.
