Education and early career

Reinstein was educated at Leighton Park School before completing his undergraduate and medical school education at the University of Cambridge. His postgraduate qualifications include M.A.(Cantab), M.B. B.Chir and MD degrees. He undertook extensive post-doctorate fellowship sub-specialty training in refractive surgery, having completed a Research Fellowship in Ophthalmic Epidemiology (UCL Institute of Ophthalmology/Moorfields Eye Hospital, UCL Medical School, London 1991), a Fellowship in Ophthalmic Bioengineering (Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, New York 1994), his Residency in Ophthalmology (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York 1996), a Refractive Surgical Fellowship as the Paul Kaiser Scholar for 1997 (under laser eye surgeons Roberto Zaldivar, Maria-Clara Arbelaez, Alberto Chacon, and Jose Barraquer) and held the position of Fellow in Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery at the University of British Columbia, Canada from 1997-1999. Professor Reinstein is recognized by three major sub-specialty bodies: he is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) (FRCSC), Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists of the United Kingdom (FRCOphth), and is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology (DABO). He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (FAAO) and a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO).

Medical Career and Research

Reinstein is an ophthalmologist and research scientist in the field of laser eye surgery, therapeutic refractive surgery (corneal complex refractive surgery) and vision correction. As of January 2020, Expertscape determined Reinstein to be the top-rated expert in Corneal Surgery, Laser in the world[3], calculated to be in the top 0.017% of 5,768 published authors worldwide on Laser Corneal Surgery.[4][5]

During several years of research in ultrasound bioengineering at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University Reinstein led the development of the Artemis VHF digital ultrasound technology, - a diagnostic tool for measuring and studying the individual corneal layers as well as ocular dimensions of the anterior segment with one micrometre precision.[6][7][8][9][10][11] He has pioneered the application of the Artemis technology to the understanding of LASIK safety and accuracy. He developed Laser blended vision - the LASIK treatment for presbyopia (ageing eyes) now distributed as by Carl Zeiss AG in their MEL80 laser platform.[12][13][14] Reinstein has also developed new algorithms for the safe treatment of very high refractive error by LASIK. He has joint patents,[15][16] with Carl Zeiss Meditec, being closely involved in developing a procedure called Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (ReLEx SMILE) that uses the VisuMax femtosecond laser to create a refractive lenticule within the stroma which is then removed through a small incision (http://www.meditec.zeiss.com/relex).[17] In 2006, Reinstein together with Cynthia Roberts instigated and headed the Biomechanics Section of the Journal of Refractive Surgery.[18] for which he served as Section editor for 10 years. Reinstein claims to be one of the world's foremost authorities on Therapeutic Refractive Surgery, the diagnosis and treatment of complications of refractive surgery. He is the Therapeutic Refractive Surgery Section Editor for the Journal of Refractive Surgery.[19][20]


Personal life

Married to Austrian veterinarian and researcher Ursula Reinstein (née Heczko), they have three children and live in central London. He is medical director of the London Vision Clinic.[21]
