Biography
Dr. Colvard is recognized as one of the nation´s preeminent eye surgeons. Trained at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Colvard was an Associate Consultant in eye surgery at the Mayo Clinic before coming to Los Angeles, where he has been active in private practice, in medical research, and in post-graduate teaching for over twenty-five years.

Dr. Colvard has been recognized year after year as one of “America’s Top Ophthalmologists” by the Consumer Research Council of America, an independent research organization in Washington D.C. and also as one of the nation’s “Best Doctors” in the Guide To Top Doctors, published by The Center for Study of Services, Consumer Checklist. He has also been chosen as one of “LA’s Super Doctors” by Los Angeles Magazine.

The Research Council of America is an independent consumer advocacy and information organization. The “Best Doctor” selection is based on a large survey of physicians and surgeons across the country. The goal of this study was to find the doctors that other doctors would chose for their own care, if they were to need a physician. Dr. Colvard was acknowledged as one of the most highly recommended eye surgeons in Southern California.

Dr. Colvard has published widely in the field of ophthalmology and is a leading authority in the use of lasers in eye surgery and new intraocular lens technology. He was one of the primary investigators for the FDA study of the new Crystalens Accommodative Intraocular Lens and was one of the first three surgeons in United States to implant this new “presbyopia correcting” lens. He is also nationally recognized both as an educator and an innovator in eye surgery.
