In 1985, Dr. Warren Hill founded East Valley Ophthalmology with the goal
of providing state-of-the-art eye care to patients who are "at risk",
meaning the patients that other doctors are hesitant to care for because of
likely complications. These patients include people who have lost one eye,
who have suffered complications from previous eye surgeries, who have eyes outside
the normal size or shape, are on medications that make surgery more risky, and
so forth.
Dr. Hill has devoted much of his professional activities to the mathematics
of intraocular lens power calculations in complex and unusual clinical situations
and performing challenging anterior segment surgery for other ophthalmologists.
He is a consultant to industry in the field of intraocular lens mathematics,
intraocular lens design, and optical coherence biometry.
Dr. Hill completed his BS and BA undergraduate
degrees at the University of Maryland, received his Doctor of Medicine from
the University of Arizona College of Medicine, completed two years of internal
medicine training at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona and
three years of ophthalmology training at the University of Rochester, in
Rochester, New York.
He is certified in general ophthalmology by the American
Board of Ophthalmology and has subspecialty certification in anterior segment
surgery by the American Board of Eye Surgery. Dr. Hill is also a member of
the International Intra-Ocular Implant Club, a Fellow of the American College
of Surgeons, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the International College
of Surgeons and the American College of Eye Surgeons.

2002 and again in 2004, Dr. Hill was voted a "Top Doc" in the specialty
of ophthalmology by medical peers in Phoenix
Magazine. In 2005 and again in 2006, Dr. Hill was voted "One of
the Top 50 Opinion Leaders in Cataract and Refractive Surgery" by
the readership of Cataract
and Refractive Surgery Today and was named a Top Doctor: Best of Arizona

In the areas of intraocular lens mathematics,
intraocular lens design, and optical coherence biometry, Dr. Hill has

for Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, the John Balian
Memorial Lecture for the Michigan Keratorefractive Society, the Kenneth C.
Swan Lectureship for Casey Eye Institute of the Oregon Health and Science
University, and the Bernard C. Gettes Lecture for the Wills Eye Hospital.
He has published many scientific articles, served as visiting professor
for numerous grand rounds, and has delivered more than 200 presentations
to ophthalmic societies both in the United States and internationally in
20 countries and on six continents. He has been the keynote speaker for the
Society for Excellence in Eyecare, the Special Cataract Surgery Lecturer
for the Philippine Academy of Ophthalmology Society and the Co-Chairman of
the Advanced Phacoemulsification Surgery Course of the Singapore National
Eye Centre. In 2007, Dr. Hill served as the Co-Chairman of the Cataract/Lens
Symposium of the 2007 Asia ARVO meeting in Singapore and also gave a live
surgery demonstration in Guayaquil, Ecuador that was carried via satellite
to ten Latin American countries during the Curso Perlas de la Facoemulsificactión.
Dr. Hill has been a Consultation Section contributor and article reviewer
for the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the Journal
of Refractive Surgery, and the British on-line journal BMC Ophthalmology.
He has served as the Instrumentation Section Editor for Techniques in
Ophthalmology, and is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Cataract
and Refractive Surgery Today. Dr. Hill was chosen as the senior author
for the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s monograph: Complex
Axial Length Measurements and Unusual IOL Power Calculations and was
appointed as an editorial faculty responsible for Clinical Optics,
Section 3 of the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Basic and Clinical
Science Course. In 2005 Dr. Hill was elected to the Board of Directors
of the American Board of Eye Surgeons and in 2007 Dr. Hill received the American
Academy of Ophthalmology’s Achievement Award and was appointed the
Cataract and Anterior Segment Subspecialty Editor for the American Academy
