He practices at Stahl Eyecare Experts with offices throughout the state of New York, including Garden City, Manhattan, and Hauppauge.
For more than five decades, the physicians at Stahl Eyecare Experts have performed over 40,000 laser vision correction procedures. In addition, they have helped their patients by providing expert care in everything ranging from routine eye examinations to contact lenses and microsurgical cataract and glaucoma procedures. They are experts in caring for vision and for their patients, believing that "we live better and safer lives when we see better".
An esteemed figure in the field of ophthalmology, Dr. Hufnagel has been recognized as a VISX STAR, an award granted only to the leading excimer laser surgeons in the United States. His pioneering involvement with excimer lasers dates back to 1987 with published studies on the pathological aspects of laser surgery applied to the cornea. To date, he has performed several thousand laser vision correction procedures and tailors all surgeries to each patient's individual needs. He is an instructor in IntraLASE bladeless LASIK surgical technique and actively teaches LASIK to other surgeons.
The doctor's acclaimed career in medicine began in 1980 after he earned his medical degree from Pierre and Marie Curie University - Faculty of Medicine in Paris. He then relocated to the United States to further his training. He is a graduate of UCLA, Yale, and Johns Hopkins Universities. He opened his first LASIK center, Insight Vision at the Trump Tower in New York City in 1995.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Dr. Hufnagel is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, whose mission is to serve the public by improving the quality of ophthalmic practice through a process of certification and Maintenance of Certification that fosters excellence and encourages continual learning.
Additionally, he is board-certified in anatomic pathology by the American Board of Pathology, whose mission is to serve the public and advance the profession of pathology by setting certification standards and promoting lifelong competency of pathologists.
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
"When you ask patients about LASIK, most of them will tell you it's the best thing they ever did! Not getting married, not having children, but having LASIK done! Lots of people see their need for glasses or contacts as a serious disability. Providing people with the gift of sight is very rewarding." as stated by Dr. Hufnagel.
On a more personal note, his favorite thing about New York is the 'melting pot'.
