He is Board Certified in Ophthalmology and a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Association of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, the California Association of Ophthalmology, and the Outpatient Ophthalmic Surgical Society.
Raised and educated in greater Los Angeles, Dr. Apt graduated from Loyola University and completed medical school at UC Irvine. After finishing ophthalmology training at the Oschner Foundation in New Orleans, he was awarded two fellowships in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Albany Medical Center in New York, and the University of Toronto where he studied the delicate subspecialty of plastic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids.
Dr Apt keeps up with the newest and latest technologies available, specializing in cataract and intraocular lens implantation, refractive (LASIK) surgery, as well as plastic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids. He is an Assistant Professor at the Jules Stein Eye Institute (UCLA) and the Doheny Eye Institute (USC), where he shares his knowledge with doctors in training. He has lectured nationally and internationally on reconstruction and refractive surgery. His offices are located in Century City, California.
Dr. Apt has volunteered his surgical expertise throughout Asia, Mexico, Africa and the Republic of Georgia (in the former Soviet Union), restoring sight to the disadvantaged there. When he's not helping people see the world better, he enjoys skiing, long-distance bicycle riding and studying oriental rugs with his wife and sons.
