Bio
Steven Sorkin, OD, FSLS, is an optometrist whose work centers on the front of the eye. A biology degree from Binghamton University led to optometry school in New York, and several clinical honors came with that training.
Dr. Sorkin's practice centers on scleral and specialty contact lenses for eyes that an ordinary lens cannot serve. Keratoconus, corneas changed by surgery and other complex anterior segment conditions make up most of the fitting work, and dry eye and ocular allergy are treated in the same visits. Participation in contact lens studies keeps that work close to current research, and invitations to lecture on these subjects have reached audiences nationwide and overseas.
Dr. Sorkin is board-certified by the American Board of Optometry and is an active member of the American Optometric Association, NJSOP, the Essex County Optometric Society, the Scleral Lens Education Society and the International Keratoconus Academy. In Dr. Sorkin's own words, "Every cornea I fit is a puzzle, and the reward is a patient who forgets the lens is there. I would rather take one more visit to get the fit right than settle for something that only works on paper." Patients can visit Dr. Sorkin at Corneal Associates of New Jersey Fairfield.
