About Me

Dr. Michael Duplessie is an ophthalmologist who has spent his career advancing patient care through refractive and corneal surgery. A LASIK pioneer, he helped organize the first U.S. LASIK training course and popularize the term. He also performed some of the earliest lamellar and sutureless corneal transplants and authored foundational textbook chapters on lamellar keratoplasty. Dr. Duplessie tailors each treatment to the individual patient, whether for a simple exam, red eye relief, or delicate microsurgery. He also offers telemedicine and explores alternative treatments such as medical cannabis, guided by science and compassion.

Patients benefit from Dr. Duplessie's physician-led approach rooted in science and empathy. His practice addresses a range of vision concerns including LASIK, corneal transplantation, presbyopia, irregular astigmatism, and other refractive and corneal conditions.
