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.
