Peter J. Polack, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a fellowship-trained specialist in refractive surgery, cornea and external diseases. His primary interests are diseases and surgery of the cornea, including sutureless cornea transplants utilizing the DMEK/DSAEK method, LASIK, conductive keratoplasty (CK), and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Dr. Polack is a LASIK patient himself, having undergone the procedure in May 2000. Utilizing the latest techniques and technologies of customized laser vision cataract care, Dr. Polack gives his cataract patients an opportunity to restore youthful vision and gain freedom from glasses and contact lenses. He also receives referrals from other ophthalmologists for more complex cases such as laser vision cataract surgery patients who have undergone previous refractive surgery. Dr. Polack joined Ocala Eye in August of 1996. He is a graduate of Stetson University and the University of South Florida College of Medicine. After completing an internship at Bayfront
Medical Center in St. Petersburg, he was awarded the Dyson Foundation Research Fellowship at Cornell University Medical College. Dr. Polack then returned to Florida for a year, studying corneal diseases with his father, Frank M. Polack, M.D., an internationally-known cornea specialist. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary where he was a chief resident. Following his residency, he obtained a cornea and refractive surgery fellowship at the University of South Florida under J. James Rowsey, M.D., a pioneer in refractive surgery.
