He performs Cataract Surgery for patients from throughout Pennsylvania. Dr. Altman received his Medical Degree with Honors from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and is a published researcher from Harvard Medical School's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.

Dr. Altman utilizes advanced techniques of Cataract Surgery that require only a very tiny incision, no patches and only eye drops for anesthesia-the "no stitch, no patch, no needle" Cataract Surgery procedure-so that his patients can benefit from very quick visual recovery times with minimal interruption in their daily routines.
Dr. Altman is committed to helping patients with Cataracts achieve their vision correction goals after Cataract Surgery. To help his Cataract patients achieve greater independence and possibly eliminate the need for eyeglasses, reading glasses or bifocals after Cataract Surgery, Dr. Altman routinely recommends aspheric lens implants for those Cataract patients requiring the sharpest distance vision in dim lighting conditions, astigmatism correcting toric lens implants for those Cataract patients with significant amounts of astigmatism and near vision presbyopia correcting lens implants, such as the Crystalens® Lens Implant, the ReZoom™ Lens Implant and the ReSTOR® Lens Implant for those patients wishing to have their distance, arm's length and near vision corrected after Cataract Surgery without eyeglasses.
