Anastasios John Kanellopoulos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anastasios John Kanellopoulos (born in Chicago, USA) is a Greek-American eye surgeon specializing in corneal transplantation, cornea crosslinking[1][2][3] for keratoconus,[4][5] complicated cataract surgery and complicated glaucoma. Widely known for research and clinical contributions in micro-incision cataract,[6] customized laser refractive surgery[7][8] and corneal cross-linking propagation and most innovations, reducing corneal transplants for advanced keratoconus.[9][10][11] [12]

Education

[edit]

His background includes medical degree from Southern Illinois University, Ophthalmology Residency at the State University of New York at Stony Brook / Nassau County Medical Center and clinical fellowships: Corneal and Refractive Surgery at Cornell University in New York, Glaucoma at Harvard University School and keratoprosthesis fellowship training with Claes Dohlman at Harvard University.

Career

[edit]

Kanellopoulos is the founder and medical director of the LaserVision Clinical & Research Eye Institute based in Athens, Greece. Since 2010 he has been advanced to Clinical Professor[13] of Ophthalmology at New York University School of Medicine (associate in 2001). He has served as President[14] of International Society of Refractive Surgery (ISRS) in 2016 & 2017 (the refractive surgery arm and partner of the American Academy of Ophthalmology). In 2019, he was the first Greek Ophthalmologist to receive the Life Achievement Award[15] by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
