A DOCTOR TO WHOM OTHER DOCTORS TURN
RICHARD A. NORDEN, MD, FACS
If you’re considering LASIK, the most
important decision you will make
is selecting the right physician to
perform your procedure. Dr. Norden
has performed LASIK on hundreds of
physicians and their family members,
many who traveled from all over
the US just to receive his services.
Dr. Norden’s patient list includes
many physicians from prestigious
medical centers in NYC as well as
numerous local ophthalmologists and
optometrists who demanded the best
for themselves and their families.
Dr. Norden was the first
ophthalmologists in Northern
New Jersey to perform LASIK and
trademarked Custom LASIK. He
has personally trained hundreds of
ophthalmologists to perform LASIK
and has lectured both nationally
and internationally. Additionally, he
has published numerous articles in
prestigious ophthalmologic journals
and wrote a chapter on corneal
transplantation in a corneal
surgery textbook.
It’s no wonder so many
knowledgeable physicians have
chosen Dr. Norden. He is a
board-certified ophthalmologist
with cornea and refractive surgery
fellowship training at the prestigious
New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. He
also spent many years as the medical
director of the New Jersey Eye Bank.
Dr. Norden is co-author of a
benchmark paper in the Journal of
Cataract and Refractive Surgery which
identified that refractive Surgeons
undergo LASIK at a far higher
rate than the general population,
demonstrating their belief in the
procedure. He also edits a regular
column in Ocular Surgery News on
refractive surgery performed on
refractive surgeons entitled Refractive
Surgery Stories.
Dr. Norden is regularly recognized
by several distinguished publications
including; Castle Connelly NY Metro
Areas Top Doctors, Inside Jersey’s
Top Doctors and America’s Top
Ophthalmologists. He has been
written about in the New York Times,
Bergen Record, 201 Magazine as well
as Bergen Health and Life Magazine,
where he sits on their medical
advisory board for ophthalmology.
Dr. Norden is a member of the
American Society of Cataract
and Refractive Surgery and the
International Society of Refractive
Surgery. He is also the only LASIK
surgeon in Northern New Jersey to
be a member of MENSA, the High IQ
Society – although he claims that it
doesn’t help him one bit with his love
of international travel, tennis, piano
playing or working out.
* Dr. Norden was awarded the trademark for Custom LASIK™.

OVER 40 AND TIRED OF READING GLASSES ...
NOW THERE’S A SOLUTION
If you’re over 40 and depend on reading glasses to perform life’s simplest tasks like reading a menu, checking
your phone, or using your tablet, there’s great news. LASIK can now treat presbyopia, an age-related difficulty
that prevents people from focusing up close. Everyone experiences some level of presbyopia as they grow older
and LASIK is a safe, effective and permanent solution. To learn more about how you can get rid of your reading
glasses forever, visit us at www.nordenlasik.com
I couldn’t be happier with my new post-surgery eyes! I have depended on
corrective lenses for 30 years, it has been such a relief to not have to worry
about them any longer. I am a technical tree climber, scuba diver, and skydiver;
dependable vision is everything! It is such a relief to enjoy these activities without
the risk of a contact lens emergency (which has happened in the past). Finally
getting LASIK was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Definitely a life-changer..

I after extensive research on Lasik surgery, I choose
Norden Laser Eye Associates. I wanted to be certain
the doctor I was about to entrust my eyes with was
experienced, knowledgeable and professional, I found
that in Dr. Norden. He has a great bedside manner, took
the time to answer all my questions and concerns.
Dr. Norden was also very realistic on what my
expectations would be relating to the MonoVision
procedure he would be performing. Dr. Norden’s

On set and in everyday life, I’m always preaching Safety First! So when it came
time to get my eyes done, I, of course, was only going to let the best operate

me ditch my glasses and contacts, I’ve “rescued” over 60 families and won 3

DOCTORS
Dear Dr. Norden,
I do not have the words to express how much your service and
skill are appreciated. As an OB/GYN I spend time in both and
office and an operating room. It has been my career and my life
for over 2 decades. For more than 40 years I have been wearing
glasses and hated them! I tried contact lenses in my twenties, but
could never get use to them.
The real problem started when I began needing progressive
lenses for my glasses. I would use a different set of glasses at
home, in the office, and in the operating room, constantly loosing
them. I would drive my anesthesiologist crazy during operations,
trying to adjust the table up and down for me to able to see. It
was becoming more and more difficult for me to work, and I
could not see myself being unable to do so.
I was always afraid to do anything to my eyes that could
potentially harm them. This was what scared me most about
vision correction surgery. After graduating college, my son
chose a military career and became a Marine Officer. He had
also been wearing glasses since the first grade. He asked me to
find a doctor who could do LASIK for him so he could perform
his duties without the hassle of contacts or glasses. Our long
time ophthalmologist, Dr. Rosenberg (Chief, Ophthalmology
Department, Hakensack University Medical Center) told me with
no hesitation: bring your son to Dr. Norden!
You hear about parents inspiring their children, my son
inspired me. And now, thanks to your talent and expertise
we both enjoy 20/20 vision without the nuisance of glasses,
contacts, progressives! From one surgeon to another,
thank you from the bottom of my heart. Karin a Zhuravleva
Karina Zhuravleva, M.D., FACOG
I can see better now than
I ever could with glasses

The freedom of not having to wear
glasses before entering a burning
building is a godsend. Having LASIK
has greatly improved my ability to do
my job; I should have done this a lot
sooner in life.
In an emergency, the last thing I
wanted to worry about was seeing
clearly. With LASIK it was possible. I
have been recommending this procedure
to all my friends and family for over
eight years. That’s how long ago I had it
done, and thank God I did.

IN THE COMMUNITY
Having covered the Mets for a few years, I have
witnessed my share of errors. Still, I couldn’t see the
biggest “E” of them all. Without my glasses on, the “E”
that stands alone on the eye chart looked like some sort
of Rorschach inkblot test.
Now that I’ve gotten the requisite sports reference out
of the way, I’d like to thank you and your staff for my
new vision. Your courtesy and thoroughness stood out
throughout the short process. Not one question I had
went unanswered, which is a much higher success rate
than I usually have.

Before my procedure, I was told the most important
