Bio

George Pronesti, MD, completed undergraduate work at the University of Pennsylvania before earning an MD at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Both the internship and the ophthalmology residency that followed were served at one Maryland institution, the Friedenwald Eye Institute.

The surgical week runs on laser vision correction and cataract surgery. The evaluation that precedes a laser procedure decides more about the result than the laser itself does, since corneal thickness, prescription stability, and tear film quality all determine who is a candidate and who is not. Cataract surgery covers lens removal and intraocular lens implantation for patients whose sight has clouded with age. Ongoing FDA protocol work keeps newer refractive techniques within reach as evidence for them accumulates.

Dr. Pronesti is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and belongs to the American Academy of Ophthalmology along with two medical societies. Recognition as a Top Doctor has come from Castle Connolly and from regional magazines. The Golf Bifocal is an invention credited to Dr. Pronesti, alongside many published articles. In Dr. Pronesti's own words, "LASIK works because the measurements are right and the candidate is right, not because the laser is new. I would rather spend the extra time before a procedure than explain a surprise after one." Patients can visit Dr. Pronesti at Kremer Eye Center in King of Prussia.
