About Me

Dr. Ruti Sella Svetlit is an ophthalmologist with fellowship training in cornea and refractive surgery. She cares for patients with cataracts, refractive error, and complex anterior segment disease, offering modern options such as LASIK, PRK, and refractive cataract surgery tailored to each person’s visual goals. Her academic interests include intraocular lens calculations, corneal imaging, and optimizing refractive outcomes—research areas that inform the way she counsels patients about lens selection and astigmatism correction.

Dr. Sella completed medical school at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, ophthalmology residency at Rabin Medical Center, an exchange fellowship at Mass Eye and Ear/Boston Eye Group, and a clinical/research fellowship in Cornea & Refractive Surgery at UC San Diego’s Shiley Eye Institute. She is ECFMG-certified and has received multiple recognitions for academic excellence and teaching. Patients value her warm communication style and her focus on safety, precision, and clear expectations before and after surgery.
