Glaucoma Treatment, Cataract Surgery in Boston
Boston Eye Physicians & Surgeons – Dr. Kaufman
Dr. Kevin J. Kaufman graduated from Harvard College Magna Cum Laude, after his formative years in Ohio. A Rotary Scholarship took him to Université de Paris for one year "License" physiology studies; his French research involved patients with vision defects. Medical school at University of Pennsylvania yielded MD and PhD degrees from the National Institutes of Health medical scientist research program. This research track involved physiology study of eye-to-brain neural connections in animals. He then did post-doctoral research in Universita Degli Studia in Parma, Italy, further investigating vision pathways.
His Ophthalmology Residency was at the Harvard's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. At Harvard he then won and undertook a Heed Fellowship in glaucoma. This disease is the most common to interfere with eye-to-brain connections. The following year a Heed-Knapp fellowship permitted further glaucoma study in Harvard Medical School and at Charles University in Prague. While in Prague he was a National Academy of Sciences Grantee, a Fulbright Professor, and a Grantee of the American Philosophical Society. His overseas experience allows him near fluency in French, Italian, and Czech. He was named Visiting Professor at Charles University in 1995 for his service to their academic community.
Dr. Kaufman's practice is a balance of glaucoma and comprehensive ophthalmology. He specializes in diseases and surgery of the anterior segment of the eye with an emphasis on small incision glaucoma and cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation, including Crystalens™. He offers comprehensive glaucoma care with all levels of medical and surgical management, including Filtering operations, Tube shunt devices, and endo-ciliary treatments.
Dr. Kaufman is a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. He is also a member of the Massachusetts Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons; and The New England Ophthamological Society.
