Ronald Krueger, MD, MSE

Dr. Krueger’s academic career in ophthalmology spans 25 years. From 1993-1998, he was on the faculty at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, and from 1998-2018, he held a position in the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. He is currently the McGaw Professor and Chair of the University of Nebraska Medical Center Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Director of the Stanley M. Truhlsen Eye Institute. In 1985, Dr. Krueger is credited with documenting the first physical description of the effects of the excimer lasers on corneal tissue, which ultimately led to the growth and development of modern day LASIK and laser vision correction. Later, in the mid-2000s, he pioneered the use the femtosecond laser in the crystalline lens and for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Dr. Krueger has performed more than 25,000 vision correction procedures, which are performed to reduce or eliminate an individual's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. In 2014-2015, Dr. Krueger served as president of the International Society of Refractive Surgery in partnership with the American Academy of Ophthalmology (ISRS/AAO). In 2018, he was honored with the ISRS/AAO Barraquer Award and Lecture, the most prestigious award and lecture in the field of refractive surgery
