Dr Frank Bucci Northeast Pennsylvania

An ophthalmologist is either a medical doctor (M.D.) or an osteopathic physician (D.O.) who is qualified and specially trained to diagnose and treat all eye and visual system problems, both medically and surgically, as well as diagnose general diseases of the body.

An ophthalmologist receives a minimum of 12 years of post-high school education, which typically includes four years of college, four years of medical school, one or more years of general clinical training and a minimum of three years of residency (hospital-based training) in ophthalmology.

During that residency, ophthalmologists receive intensive training in all aspects of eye care, including prevention, diagnosis, management and medical and surgical treatment of ocular diseases and disorders.

Dr. Frank A. Bucci Jr., a local ophthalmologist, has been internationally recognized by his peers as one of the Top 50 Ophthalmologists in the United States, as well as a recipient of an Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology for his outstanding contributions in the field of ophthalmology.

Dr. Bucci, the number one multifocal surgeon in Pennsylvania, is one of the top 10 multifocal surgeons in the United States. As an innovator in the field of eliminating bifocals, he was the first surgeon in Northeast Pennsylvania to implant all of the currently available multifocal lenses. He has performed over 25,000 eye surgeries and implanted over 1,600 multifocal intraocular lenses.

Dr. Bucci was one of a select group of surgeons chosen in the United States in 2008 to participate in the FDA clinical trials for the Tecnis multifocal implant. This lens is a revolutionary advancement in the field of eliminating bifocals. Both cataract and pre-cataract patients older than 40, dependent on bifocals or reading glasses, may be candidates for these multifocal lenses with the potential to achieve complete independence from glasses and/or contact lenses. These procedures are performed at the Angelina Theresa Bucci Eye Surgery Center featuring state-of-the-art technology and a highly skilled surgical staff.

Dr. Bucci has published numerous articles related to LASIK and multifocal implants. More than 70 articles have appeared in peer-reviewed and ophthalmology trade journals. He is considered an expert regarding “LASIK Dry Eye” and has been acknowledged for his treatments with nutritional supplements and his analysis of the role of lactoferrin in the tear film. He has published regression formulas that accurately predict the thickness of the “flap” created at the time of LASIK.

Dr. Bucci performs CustomVue LASIK in his private LASIK suite. He uses the VISX Star 4 excimer laser featuring active eye tracking and the latest in WaveFront technology. This space-age wavescan technology establishes 1,000 data points related to subtle visual imperfections in the eye that cannot be corrected by glasses or contact lenses.

Dr. Bucci offers a free consultation to any patient seeking spectacle independence through refractive surgery. He has offices in Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Scranton, Old Forge, Hazleton, Stroudsburg, Brodheadsville and Mt. Pocono.

In conclusion, Dr. Bucci’s surgical experience, ongoing clinical research, cutting-edge technology and outstanding staff have distinguished Bucci Laser Vision as the most trusted eye care institute serving Northeast Pennsylvania for the past decade.
