Doctors Main Image

Dr. Tal Raviv is a leader in the field of refractive cataract surgery, specializing exclusively in advanced, minimally invasive techniques that prioritize both precision and patient comfort. He is the founder and medical director of a private practice in New York City, where he has introduced an immediate-recovery approach to laser cataract surgery — eliminating the need for injections, eye patches, or dark glasses post-surgery. His reputation for excellence has made him a go-to surgeon for complex and high-risk cataract cases, often receiving referrals from other ophthalmologists.

An early adopter of cutting-edge technologies, Dr. Raviv is a pioneer in incorporating microstents like iStent and Hydrus for MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery) during cataract procedures. He also utilizes femtosecond laser cataract surgery and ORA intraoperative refraction to ensure exceptional surgical accuracy. Honored as a Superdoctor, Castle Connolly Regional Top Doctor, and named to the OSN Premier 300, Dr. Raviv contributes to the field through editorial roles, advisory boards, and international lectures. Outside the clinic, he enjoys an active lifestyle with his wife and two sons, spending time skiing, swimming, and running.

Mariene S.

Dr Raviv came highly recommended which after two cataract surgeries with him completely agree. He is very professional, patient and well-related. I had two cataract surgeries and both were successful. He explains the process and what to expect clearly and answers any concerns or questions in a helpful manner. He is warm and friendly. I have o ly good things to say about Dr Raviv.

Robyn G.

Dr. Raviv was fabulous! I had cataract surgery on my OGE "Only Good Eye." He made sure I understood everything. The staff at the surgery center was great and made me feel safe and comfortable. I am blind in one eye and with the cataract on my good eye I couldn't read the computer, street signs or signs at the train station. My independence was gone! I am so happy with the results of my laser, cataract surgery.

Maya W.

I couldn't be happier with the results of my cataract surgery. The entire team was professional, caring, and dedicated to ensuring a positive outcome. My vision is now crystal clear, and I am grateful for the exceptional care provided.
