As a leading New York LASIK surgeon, Dr. Mandel has been instrumental in the development of the excimer laser, the device used to reshape the cornea during laser vision correction surgery. In 1984, Dr. Mandel was a co-author of "Excimer Laser Radial Keratotomy," one of the first papers in the world which argued that excimer laser technology would revolutionize the field of refractive surgery.
This advanced level of research, helped Dr. Mandel earn the Burrough Wellcome® Fellowship for laser research, an award presented by Harvard's Ocular Laser Research Laboratory, as well as the William Warner Hoppin Award, given by the New York Academy of Medicine.
