Press release from Connecticut Eye Consultants: September 29, 2020 After years of teaching medicine around the world (aboard ORBIS International's "Flying Eye Hospital") and in Cleveland (as Associate Professor of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus at Case Western Reserve University), Dr. Michael Abrams has returned to private practice-and to his Northeastern roots. A native of Armonk, N.Y., Dr. Abrams holds a B.S. from Haverford College and his M.D. from a combined program at Dartmouth College and Brown University. He served four years as a general medical officer and battalion surgeon in the U.S. Army before completing a residency in ophthalmology at SUNY Buffalo and a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology at Children's Hospital of Michigan. He then spent 16 years in private practice in Utah before taking a sabbatical to help develop a new wireless standard in medicine and other industries. He returned to pediatric ophthalmology in 2018 to continue research, teaching, and the practice of medicine."I can't tell you how good it feels to be back in New England, practicing medicine with such a professional and honorable group," he says of joining Connecticut Eye Consultants. "It's been a fascinating journey, but I think we all eventually find our way back home." Dr. Abrams is a longtime member of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, and served for nine years on the board of the nonprofit Children's Eye Foundation, whose mission is fighting preventable blindness in children around the world. He will see both children and adults in our Danbury office beginning Oct. 5.
