Dr. Pamel and our team use state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques to diagnose and treat eye concerns and improve vision and health.
Dr. Pamel has over 15 years of experience and a breadth of achievements, including Lifetime Education and Achievement Awards from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) for his dedication to ophthalmology and teaching other ophthalmologists advanced techniques in corneal and refractive surgery. He was honored as a board-certified fellow of the inaugural class of the World College of Refractive Surgery and Visual Science, a one-of-a-kind organization that certifies and accredits refractive surgery, including implantable contact lenses (ICLs), LASIK, PRK, cataract surgery, and SMILE. He was one of 1,000 surgeons chosen for the class out of a pool of 280,000 and was recognized for his surgical skill and contributions to refractive surgery over two decades.
Dr. Pamel has trained eye surgeons around the world during courses at industry meetings, including AAO and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery conferences. Dr. Pamel was the principal investigator for a Phase III FDA clinical trial on Verisyse® and has been a pivotal player in other clinical trials, including the first artificial iris implant in the United States.
Our board-certified ophthalmologist is more than a specialist in vision correction; Dr. Pamel is an expert in cornea transplant and cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implants. He was selected by “Premier Surgeon” as a leading innovator in premium IOL surgery and is seen as an innovator in cataract surgery and IOL placement.
Pamel Vision & Laser Group offers the latest technologies, including Wavelight® Allegretto for custom LASIK and Ziemer® technology for all-laser LASIK (bladeless LASIK). Dr. Pamel was the first doctor in the state to offer bladeless LASIK. He takes great pride in being at the forefront of ophthalmology research and offering patients the latest techniques for optimal results.
Our offices provide traditional and laser cataract surgery and offer light adjustable lens (LAL) implants and ICLs to improve vision. Dr. Pamel can treat presbyopia (age-related blurry near vision) and cornea disease, including keratoconus. He was the principal investigator in a clinical trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking for ectasia and keratoconus.
When you choose Dr. Pamel and Pamel Vision & Laser Group for your eye care and surgical needs, you get the highest quality vision correction and the best possible treatment of eye diseases and conditions. Don’t take our word for it; Dr. Pamel’s results speak for themselves, and other eye surgeons regularly refer patients for his services.
“Dr. Pamel worked wonders on my eyes. I wanted laser corrective surgery, but my situation was more complicated than a standard LASIK correction could address. After talking to quite a few ophthalmologists and getting countless scans, I was referred to his office independently by two other eye surgeons, one of whom teaches at Columbia. They both told me he was the only doctor they’d recommend for the procedure I needed… I have 20/20 vision–I used to have -6.50 in each eye with nonstandard corneal shape and astigmatism. For the first time since I was 9, I can see right when I wake up, when I’m in the shower, etc. It’s almost a year later, and my eyes feel good. Throwing out my glasses and contacts felt incredible. I wake up every day grateful for Dr. Pamel’s excellent work and his organized, efficient staff.”

“I had lens implant surgery on both of my eyes this year with Dr. Pamel and his team, and it could not have gone smoother. Dr. Pamel made the surgery feel seamless and straightforward, and I am eternally grateful. I’ve had glasses since I was 4 with an extremely high prescription, and Dr. Pamel made it possible that I can now see without contacts or glasses; feels like a miracle. I highly recommend!”
